Classes

Our church strategy (the “how” of making disciples) is accomplished by teaching people how to be rooted in the Gospel of God’s glory through the Word of God, Prayer, and Gospel Community. One of the ways we see this happen is through teaching classes and workshops. Browse through the videos and materials of the classes we’ve had so far.
