Foundations of Christian Theology & Why They Matter

Dr. Craig Kuhn

Learn the primary tenets of Christianity, why they are important to know, and how they can be applied to everyday life. This class will also look at what sets Christianity apart from other religions.

Each module will consist of some lecture, a lot of group discussion, practical application scenarios, and a few surprises. Please note that the content is similar to what was presented in Theology 101 a few years ago. 

Making Sense of Our World

Pastor Tyler Braun

We live inside powerful cultural stories that shape how we view who we are, what matters, and how to find true fulfillment. This course explores the major ideas driving our world today to see how they compare with the truth of the gospel.

You will gain practical tools to understand today’s world while learning how to engage our culture with both grace and truth.

First Steps: Building a Life of Faith

Pastor Barry Braun & Debi Stangeland

This class is for anyone considering faith or who is a new believer. Join us for four weeks as we look at life as Jesus does.

Together we will explore the big issues: God, the world, and ourselves. This will be a space for learning, asking questions, discussion, and discovery.

You are invited in to explore with us in a simple and honest way. No strings attached.


Kid’s Institute Class – grades K-5th

Bible Quest

This session, we will “Discover the Israelites” through videos, games, snacks, & connection. All kids, K-5th, are invited to join us as we explore this unique group of people who spent 40 years in the desert and fought for the Promised Land.

Childcare – for kids 0-Pre-K

If you are a parent with a child in this age group, please choose a date on the registration form to help out one of the four weeks in this session. Heather will contact you to confirm. Thank you for helping so all parents of littles can attend at least 3 classes.
