GOSPEL FOR LIFE CLASSES

The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ has come to bring salvation to His people, both now and forever. As we grow in our faith and obedience to King Jesus, we can increasingly experience the benefits of the gospel and life in His kingdom. Yet, if we’re honest, we can sometimes lose sight of the gospel or not know how to effectively apply it to certain areas of our lives.

This is why we’ve launched “Gospel for Life” classes! Each set of 3-week classes are intended to grow our understanding of the gospel and how to apply it to all of life. Classes are a mix of teaching, personal stories, and practical application, centered on a key topic. There’s also a recommended reading resource to go a little deeper. All classes are during 1st service in Gallery 14. Classes are open to anyone, but space is limited, so please register ahead of time for each set of classes. Classes also will be recorded and posted for future reference.

Contact Pastor Scott with any questions.

Gospel Parenting
Gospel Parenting

Gospel Parenting is not about seeking ways to perform better as a parent, it is about being a parent who lives and acts out faith in God. Faith makes a huge difference in how we raise our children. Living by faith is not about technique. It's about trusting in Jesus, not ourselves, and depending on him for help, hope, direction, and wisdom as a parent. As we trust in Jesus, not in our parenting techniques, we are able to rest from the pressure and anxiety we naturally feel as we raise our children.
