The purpose of our electives is to engage and equip the people of our church with the Word for the roles God has given them. The classes survey a variety of doctrines or topics, helping us to grow in our walk with Jesus and in our relationships with each other. We’re eager to dive into these studies with you.
During the adult Electives, children, middle school, and high school students meet according to their grades.

Overview: Genesis is a book of beginning introducing us to the start of God’s good creation followed quickly by man’s fall into sin. The book unfolds the consequence of man’s separation from God with a quick showcase of human sinfulness and God’s judgment. All seems hopeless until God begins to choose a people for himself and promise to bless all the families of the Earth through him. There’s a promise to the woman that comes up in the Scriptural witness that promises to restore the shattered relationship between God and man. Join us for this course as we explore these themes and how Genesis fits into the Bible’s story of God redeeming a people to himself. We pray you will be emboldened in your faith and equipped to share the gospel from this first book of the Holy Scriptures!

Overview: The early church grappled with many questions as to the nature of God. What was he like? What did he reveal? How can he be completely sovereign and govern all things by his providence? Namely, how can there be one God, yet eternally exist in three persons? Join us for this course as we look to what God has revealed to us concerning himself and answer these questions and many more. We’ll focus on God’s nature, his attributes, and his government of all things. We pray you leave with confidence and a faithful understanding of not just how to know about our great God, but how to know him in an edifying way for life with him!

Overview: If someone were to ask you, “What is the church?”, what would you say? Would you talk about a building, a people, an organization? What if someone asked you, “What makes up a healthy church?” What would you say? Join us for this six-week class as we look into what a church is and isn’t. We’ll examine essential “marks” that every healthy church should have, followed by a dive into important “marks” by which healthy churches separate themselves from others. We pray you leave each week understanding what God has prescribed for congregations in his Word and confident in the gift God has given you in the local church!

Overview: If you were asked to explain the gospel to someone in three minutes or less, could you do it? Would you feel confident in walking up to someone and correctly relaying the good news of salvation that can save him or her? We know how God saved us, but are we emboldened and confident in our ability to converse with a friend about it? This class will serve as an essential foundation for describing what the good news is from the Scriptures and how to put it into a message of salvation for ourselves and the unbeliever. Join us as we provide an in-depth breakdown of biblically essential gospel components and discuss how we would explain them to others. We pray you leave strengthened in your own faith and ready to take the message of good news to a lost and dying world!
