Happening NOW!

Winter Seminars. . . A complement, not a substitute

Because our gathering together to sing God's praises and hear His Word is central to our life together, we encourage adults and families to make participation in the Sunday morning worship services their first priority.   As a complement to the worship service, we also offer an array of Sunday morning topical Life Together Seminars and ongoing Adult Bible Fellowships.

Life Together Seminars For Winter Quarter:

Doctrine Matters: Doctrines of Man and Christ (Continued Studies in Systematic Theology)
Located in the Ministry Center
Have you ever wondered why we're here? Or have you watched the new and asked why there's so much pain in the world? Ever read your Bible and ask how can Jesus be both God and man? Or why did Jesus die for sin—couldn't God just forgive us?  Join us as we start a new session in our ongoing doctrine study where we'll discuss these issues and more! This study is based on Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology.  New participants always welcome as the beauty of the gospel is seen through the truths of Scripture.
This seminar will be lead by Steve Leonard and Ron Johnston .
 
In this series we'll ask questions like: 
  • Why did God create us? 
  • Where did sin come from?
  • How can Jesus be both God and Man? 
  • Did Jesus have to die?  
  • And More!!
 
Located in Founder's Hall B
Everyone encounters conflict whether it be with a co-worker, family member, friend, or complete stranger. Yet we all desire harmony in our relationships. This seminar is a practical, biblical guide to peacemaking in everyday life that can turn your troubled relationships into peaceful ones. Using video and print materials from authors Ken Sande and Kevin Johnson, this seminar will show us how to achieve not only a cease-fire but also unity and harmony in relationship. Join us as we go beyond conflict resolution to true, life-changing reconciliation with family, co-workers, and fellow believers.
This seminar will be led by Ken Peet and Tim Arlen.


Effective Parenting in a Defective World

Packed with practical advice, Chip Ingram's DVD series will give struggling parents a vision for their children's future and life-changing help for today.
This seminar will be led by Donny and Stephanie Valliere.
