Connection Classes
April 23 – May 28
A Deeper Level
Take a deeper walk with us into prophetic gifting as we learn to give, receive, and interpret the prophetic words that often come to us from a brother or sister in Christ. In the final few weeks of this class we will actively be engaged in “practicing” our prophetic gifts and receiving instruction on how best to give and not to give a “word” that you feel is from God. Join us as we corporately move to a deeper level of intimacy and understanding of this often misused gift.

After I Believe
Have you ever thought…”I believe in Jesus, now what?” This class is a great resource for new Christians! Together we will explore understanding and dealing with conflicts between old and new patterns of thoughts and habits. This will help new Christians develop a regular pattern of prayer and Bible study, as well as guide them as they connect with God and others through caring, learning and serving.

Discovering God’s Will
God has a personal vision for your life, and He wants you to know it even more than you do. But determining God’s will can be a difficult process, especially when you need to make a decision in a hurry. The Discovering God’s Will DVD study is designed to take you through the important steps of decision making, pursuing God’s will, seeking counsel from others, learning to use discernment, and understanding the mind of God through scripture as you seek His will.

Faith Lessons on the Life & Ministry of the Messiah
Join us for an eye opening class on the life and ministry of Jesus. This in-depth video tour is filmed on location in Israel, exploring the buried, distant, or otherwise forgotten places where the stories of the Bible actually happened. From this cultural perspective, teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan challenges long-held Western assumptions about even the most well-known scripture passages. You will enjoy not only an interesting video teaching but also down to earth class discussion and application of the material.
