How to Be Unsuccessful
Led by Beth Schoeller
Wednesdays from 6:30 PM - 8 PM, February 28 - April 3
The world defines success as having money, power, and influence. But God defines it differently. So differently, in fact, that being successful in God's eyes might look unsuccessful to the world. Join Pete Portal for the six-part series to consider whether you're willing to ignore the world's definition of success and learn How to be Unsuccessful instead.
10X Better Man
Led by Rico Louw
Sundays from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM, February 25 - March 31
Every Man's life tells a story. Stories come in various genres. Apart from Christ, a man's story is mystery, drama, and horror. Yet a man surrendered to Christ experiences a story of love and adventure. When a man allows Jesus to be the Author of his story he becomes a 10x Better Man. A 10xBetter Man is called to live and love above average to the glory of God.
The Beatitudes
Led by Dave Cleary
Tuesdays 7 PM - 8 PM
What does it mean to be blessed? And, more importantly, how do we become someone who is blessed? The kind of life God is calling us to may not look the way we imagined, but it will be better than we could have hoped. In this eight-session series, pastor Matt Chandler takes us through the Beatitudes and shows us what it means to live in the kingdom of God. Through Jesus’s teaching, learn what the blessed life really looks like.

Women in the New Testament
Led by Brittany May and Heather Rountree
Wednesday March 6th- Wednesday May 15th 11:30-1:00 (Break on March 27th for Noon Day Service) Bring your lunch!
Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute? Is the story of Martha of Bethany about homemaking? Were the women in Jesus’s genealogy all sexual sinners? Was Junia an apostle or not?
What do you really know about the women in the New Testament?
Often, the stories of the important women in the New Testament are left out of church teaching and Christian books. Or if they are told, they include myths and misperceptions.
In this course, Dr. Lynn Cohick, New Testament Professor and Provost of Northern Seminary, teaches the true stories of women in the Bible. She has written several books on women in the New Testament world and the early church.
Each session examines an aspect of the social and cultural world of the New Testament and explores a biblical woman’s story in relation to her context. The course looks at marriage, at motherhood, at discipleship, at patronage, at teaching, and at leadership as New Testament women live out their callings before God and in the Christian community.
Women studied include:
- Mary, mother of Jesus
- Mary Magdalene
- Mary and Martha of Bethany
- Phoebe, Junia, Priscilla, Lydia
- Unnamed women such as the Samaritan woman and Jairus’s daughter.
Come along and explore these lesser-known stories of women of faith.
