This 8-week class covers four topics in-depth: two weeks on Grief/Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and Sexual Health. Classes will be led by experts Daniel Sulfridge and Mark Logan.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality

Join us as we explore how it is not possible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature and how knowing God and knowing ourselves cannot be separated. Cost is $40.


Evangelism 101: Contagious Faith

Starts Sunday, September 24 at 11:00am

Contagious Faith is a 6-week study that will prepare you to share God’s love with others in a way that’s authentic, comfortable, and impactful.

As disciples of Christ, we are called to share the gospel, but few of us are naturally comfortable with evangelism. What if we could find a way to talk about Jesus that fits our personalities, makes us feel confident, and ignites a fire in others?


Compass Financial Class

Starts Sunday, October 8 at 11:00am

Join us as we talk about what it means to be faithful disciples in the area of our finances! This 6-week class is led by Josh Lynch and meets from October 8 through November 19, with no class on October 29. The class will meet in the Youth Room.
