The Shepherd Leader

Sundays, Jan 10 – March 14, 9am,

Teachers: Bob Goss
Cost: $10 (Book)

This is a class for anyone who desires to become a servant-leader in the Church.  Both God the Father and Jesus describe themselves as shepherds.  The Apostle Peter calls church leaders to “shepherd God’s flock.”  Using the book The Shepherd Leader by Jim VanYpren we will explore what Scripture says about the character of shepherd-leaders, how they lead, and how they care for people.  This is a timely study as we enter into the nominating process for elder and deacon at College Church.

It's Not Supposed to Be This Way 

Wednesdays, Jan 6 – Feb 17, 7-8pm

Facilitator: Karie Neal
Cost: $18 (book)

Have you ever wondered about the reality of God’s goodness, especially when disappointments leave you shattered or confused? It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way, by Lysa Terkeurst will help us see our lives in the context of God’s bigger story and help us to find strength as we learn to wrestle between our faith and our feelings.  We will read from this book and look deeper at what the Bible has to say on this topic.  We will also view video sessions by Lysa that will lead us along our journey.  This class is best suited for women looking to grow in their relationship with God.

The Prophets

Class: Mondays, Jan 11 – Feb 22, 7-8:00pm
Virtual Showing of the Play: Saturday, January 30, 7pm

Teacher: Jasmine Myers
Cost: Free!

The biblical prophets are perhaps more relevant than ever — but they can be pretty confusing. And long. And … upset. For all those who feel put off, lost, or just plain intimidated by the prophets, this class uses the unique approach of theatre to trace the Gospel through the prophets’ words. Class will include weekly videos, discussions, and a virtual showing of the play The Prophet Project by Still Small Theatre.
