Parenting & Technology
Join us for a five-week class as we explore a set of communal technology habits designed to help families, churches, and schools disciple the next generation in healthy, intentional tech use—and learn how we can cultivate wise practices that protect our children from technology’s dangers while apprenticing them into its healthy use as followers of Jesus.

Metamorphosis | Book Study on Blessed Are Misfits by Brant Hansen
Do you or anyone you know ever feel like a spiritual misfit? Join us to discuss the book Blessed Are Misfits by Brant Hansen, this very genuine and vulnerable personal account by a Christian podcaster and self-described misfit as we delve into doubts and struggles with spirituality that just might be more common than we think.
Multipurpose Room, 500 Forest Avenue (Office Building!)

Practicing the Way | Spiritual Practices as Discipleship

  • March 2-23: Sabbath. Sabbath is a twenty-four hour time period set aside to stop, rest, delight, and worship. It is the best day of the week. In our era of chronic exhaustion, emotional unhealth, and spiritual stagnation, few things are more necessary than the recovery of this ancient practice. Room 201, Led by Becky Bowers and Rick Hutton

  • March 30 - May 25: Fasting. Fasting is one of the most essential and powerful of all the practices of Jesus and, arguably, the single most neglected one in the modern, Western church. The Fasting Practice will train you in this ancient discipline, integrating your whole body into life with God. Room 201, Led by Becky Bowers and Rick Hutton

People of the Word: The Psalms of Hebrews
The Psalms are often quoted in the book of Hebrews. Join the People of the Word as they take a deeper dive into these specific Psalms mentioned in the theologically rich book of Hebrews.
Room 107, Led by Kyle Frayser, Paul White, and others
