If you’re aged 18+ and a baptized follower of Jesus with capacity in your schedule to commit to this class– this is for you. We want students who want to “grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” (Ephesians 4:15)

This is supposed to be stretching but accessible. You will likely encounter words, histories, ideas, and perspectives that are unfamiliar to you, and that’s ok! There are no grades; no pass-fail. Classes are crafted for everyone to challenge themselves and ask questions. We are committed to ensuring a safe learning environment for vulnerable sharing and questioning regardless of anyone’s education or experience level in these topics. There’s no prerequisite for a core class, and no seminary or bible college education required. These classes are designed to feel like a 101 level course in an undergrad program, but without the exams and term papers.

Cost per person is $40. That money covers the cost of resources and course materials for you. Moreover, we hope that money helps ensure commitment, which is essential to getting the most out of as well as contributing to this learning environment. If $40 is a financial barrier our church would be glad to meet your needs and cover the full cost so you can participate. Childcare is available for a total of $20 (regardless of the number of children) for the duration of the class. You can register for childcare as you register for the class.

Classes meet Tuesday nights from 6-8pm at the church building, and childcare is available. Check the registration pages (linked above) to see when a core class is scheduled to meet and in what room.

Yes, childcare is available for a total of $20 (regardless of the number of children) for the duration of the class. You can register for childcare as you register for the class.

The specific requirements differ based on class, but each class is designed for active learning. That means there may be brief assignments like an article to read or a book chapter before coming to class, or an assignment after class such as a reflection journal or spiritual practice to experiment with. We expect students to contribute to in-class discussions and complete any assignments or exercises given.

If you can’t commit to attending all but 1 or 2 of the sessions, it’s best to wait until a more available season of life to register so someone with the capacity to fully immerse in the class can have your seat. But, we understand life happens and unexpected things do occur, so there is grace! We will take attendance so we can follow up with participants who miss to be sure they have what they need to stay engaged.

You can check out the class calendar HERE.

Dress comfortably. Bring a pen and journal, laptop or tablet, bible, and any course materials. Arrive on time. Come expectant. There may be some pre-work or post-work before and after sessions, you’ll hear more about that from a class teacher when you register. You may want access to a wifi enabled device, as some interactive elements in the class sessions or access to our digital platform where instructors post info may be helpful (you’ll hear more about the online class platform we are using after registration).

We hope to build a 1 year small group cohort diving deeper into the topics of the core classes with a greater degree of rigor and commitment ideal for raising up key leaders in our church. We are also working on short term special topic “electives”, weekend workshops in very practical tools and skills, and other learning environments.
