HEBREWS 4:12 FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND ACTIVE, SHARPER THAN ANY TWOEDGED SWORD, PIERCING TO THE DIVISION OF SOUL AND OF SPIRIT, OF JOINTS AND OF MARROW, AND DISCERNING THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTIONS OF THE HEART.
WHAT WE CARE ABOUT We care about creating and providing opportunities for you to take your Next Step as you grow closer to Jesus. We believe growth happens best in relational environments where we can learn, be challenged, and celebrate together. Do you know what the Bible says you should believe? The Bible was written by God, through man, in order to equip the Church (that s us). When we spend time in the Bible, we get to know who God is and what His plan is for our lives. We can see just how Jesus modeled relational discipleship, and we can learn what He says about our everyday lives, our philosophy, right and wrong, and how we are to relate to one another. It s simple, really. We can t make or be disciples of Jesus without spending time in the Word. Increasing our knowledge and understanding of the Bible will give us guidance and wisdom for real life. Daily time in God s word should be a core value of every Christian, but in our hectic world, it can be hard to keep our priorities straight. It can be hard to make the time to read, to listen to, to study the living, breathing Word of God. I think that s tragic because the Bible is one of the most important ways God communicates with us, and He uses it to change us to be more like Him. That s why I m so excited about Real Life University. It s a way for all of us to dig deeper into the Bible and our walk with God. We have classes for every stage of your journey as a Christian basic and advanced Bible classes, leadership classes to help you make disciples, parenting classes, and more. So check out what s being offered this Fall! Sign up for a class and take your Next Step in your walk with Christ. -Jim Putman

M A R R I A G E & P A R E N T I N G Phase By God s design, the family is the foundation of the church and society.

Our classes are designed to help you successfully discover, celebrate, navigate, and make the most of the phase you re in.
