Everyday Evangelism
FAITH 201 | May 7 – June 27 | Guin
Sharing your faith is not about winning arguments; it’s about winning hearts. And the way to do that is by engaging others with love, respect, and truth.
In this six-session study, you’ll be equipped with practical, effective ways to share the truth of the gospel with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers. You’ll be inspired by the author’s own story of how he came to know Jesus through a friend who reached out to him in love, invited him into his life, and showed him what it truly means to be a Christian. You’ll also be challenged to respond to God’s call to be bold-because eternity is at stake.

Experiencing God
Hope Center Downstairs Warehouse Space (925 Pine Avenue) | May 8 – June 28 | Bevel
Over the years, God has used the truths of Experiencing God to awaken believers to a radically God-centered way of life. As a result, millions have come to know God intimately, to recognize His voice, and to understand His will for their lives. This new edition is revised, updated, and ready to help you again—or for the very first time—experience your Creator.

FIRST STEPS
JOY 209 + 213
Meets the first Sunday of the month.
The First Steps Class is designed to partner with parents as they walk their children through the most important decision their child will ever make: salvation. We believe it is our responsibility, as the church, to equip parents to be the chief disciple-makers in their own home, and preparing and helping them walk this time in the life of their child is one of the best ways to do it.
