A Study of Amos - Prepared to Meet Your God
Thursdays; 9:15am
January 9 - 23
As the Lord prophesied warnings about coming judgment through a shepherd named Amos, He can also send forth His Word through you to save others from coming judgment. Study how people can be prepared to meet their God, and your heart can be stirred to proclaim the warning with hope for those who heed it.

Kings & Prophets
Thursdays; 9:15am
January 30 - February 20
This dynamic four-week course from our Kings and Prophets Series will have a major impact on your walk with the Lord. We'll watch God raise up a Gentile threat (Assyria) to Israel as its kings continue the spiritual descent begun by Jeroboam—compromising with idols and refusing to repent at the warnings of prophets Elijah and Elisha.

A Study of Hosea - A Love That Will Not Let Me Go
Thursdays; 9:15am
February 27 - March 20
Hosea was the last prophet to the Northern Kingdom of Israel before they were taken captive to Assyria. He cried out to a nation caught up in harlotry, a nation which chose to abandon God and go after pagan idols. In Hosea you can learn how God deals with those who turn away from Him and about a love that will not let you go.​

Building a Marriage that Really Works
Thursdays; 7:00-8:30pm
January 9 - February 13
For Women only! Marriage can be fun, romantic, and exciting. It can also be challenging to blend two lives into one. Marriage requires "give and take," but can be painful when we are in a constant battle of "tug of war." No one is perfect, so no marriage is perfect. Our aim is not perfection, but rather to work together to demonstrate to the world the love and grace God offers His people. Since marriage depicts God's covenant love for us, let's hear what He has to say about the topic, let's bask in His love for us, and let's come with a willingness to see our relationships transformed. This course is open to all women, regardless of marital status.
