    Essential Christianity (eC)
    Pastor Scott Gilchrist / Room 121
    Where can we find Truth? How does the Bible answer life’s toughest questions? Come to eC and find out. Each week we serve a complimentary continental breakfast while Scott Gilchrist explains the essentials of Christianity. Questions are encouraged; if you want to know more about Christianity or about this church, this is the place.

    The Peacemaking Church
    Pastor Tom Aylward & Mark Holady / Room 221
    We are about to embark on a study learning how to apply the gospel to conflicts in our everyday relationships. Join us as we unearth the treasures God has for us and begin to discover the rich opportunity that is hidden in every conflict. The class format includes a 25 minute video and small group discussion. Course study guides will be available for purchase for $5 each.

    Wandering in the Book of Numbers
    Pastor Dave Martini / Rm 222
    If you take a look at I Corinthians 10:1-11 you’ll find Paul saying, “These things happened as examples for us and were written for our instruction.” If you ask, “what things?” the answer would be the Book of Numbers. So that is what this class will do. Wander around in the Book of Numbers looking at a variety of stories and drawing out both the example and the instruction for our lives.

    Truth About Prayer
    Jeff Rathjen / Rm 243 (Music Center)
    Sometimes it seems like praying is a waste of time, plus it is really hard work. We know it is wrong to just approach God with a list of things we want, but often we don’t know what else to do in prayer. We know we ought to pray, but our minds keep wandering and then we feel guilty about that. On top of everything else, we get confused about what happens when we pray and it seems that our prayers never get answered. Maybe it is time to change the way we think about prayer and learn what the Bible really says about it. Oddly enough, we might find that God has something to say about prayer and it might be useful, even revolutionary.

    Introduction to NT Greek: Part II
    Eric Spuur / Room 226
    Have you ever had the notion to delve a little deeper into the original language of the NT? This course is for the serious student, although we will be working at a beginner's pace. Yes, there will be vocabulary to memorize and homework each week, but your labors will richly pay off in Bible study. This course will probably run for at least two quarters, if not three.

    College/Young Adults: The Relevant Gospel
    Bill Brown / Multi-Purpose Room
    All young adults are encouraged to join us for breakfast, fellowship, and a time of teaching. This term we will be examining the gospel and its implications not only for salvation, but for the rest of life. We will examine Scripture and see that the gospel must apply to (and even define) things like worship, purity, money, etc. See you there!
