A comfortable place to learn about Christ.

You'll learn about our truth source and about Jesus Christ, who is at the center of all that we believe. Whether you sit back and listen, or ask some questions, we hope that you'll feel comfortable and at ease as you explore the Christian faith.

Sunday AM Study
Sundays, 9:15-10:15am, Room 11/12
Doesn't it seem like the original disciples had an advantage over today's believers? After all, Jesus was right there with them. Have you ever wondered what it was like to follow Jesus around for three years? We'll try to get a taste of that as we study the book of John. Join us...as Jesus said to Peter on the beach, "Follow Me!" Instructor: Tim Townsend

Crossways
Wednesdays, 6:30-8 pm, Room 13, Starts April 2
Mondays, 10-11:30 am, Room 13, Starts March 31
God has left a rather long message...and you deserve an explanation. Why study the Bible in depth? If we say we believe it, shouldn't we know what's in it? How do we dig into the Bible without getting buried under details about genealogies and ancient battles? If you want to read the Bible all the way through, if you want to understand certain parts of the Bible, if you don't mind doing a little homework and some outside-of-class Scripture searching, if you have a desire to learn what God really says in His Word or if you're anxious to learn more about God, the Bible's message and meaning for life, Crossways is the answer! This course is a "spiritual shovel" that equips you to unearth the Bible's treasures. It's a challenging and rewarding adventure. Get ready for a life changing encounter with the real Jesus, who embraces you in grace, welcomes you warmly into His community, equips you to see the world through His eyes and empowers you to serve with his heart. Cost: $15 for class materials. To register, call 248.689.4713 x455. Instructor: Harry Krupsky. Class schedule: Wednesdays: 6:30-8pm or Mondays 10-11:30am.

The Way of the Master
