Classes offered for the 8 weeks of our winter session.

The Early Church –  We will study locations throughout Asia Minor where many of the Biblical stories took place, why Paul wrote what he did regarding the struggles of the early church, and what we can learn from them for our lives.  Even if you haven’t attended any of the previous That The World May Know studies, you can come anytime as each lesson stands alone. Led by Dave Funke.

Prepared with a Reason: Prepared with a Reason Apologetics Curriculum equips Christian to articulate and defend their faith through the study of philosophical topics. Each lesson provides historical context about the topic, dives into relevant worldly assumptions and counters these assumptions with Christian responses. Led by Pastor Tim.

Lutheran Worship: Why We Worship the Way We Do – If you were asked the question, “Why do Lutherans worship the way they do?” Would you be able to give an answer? Engaging in worship is part of our congregational life; some individuals engage weekly, others less frequently. Some have been worshiping as Lutherans their entire life, others may be recent converts to Lutheranism. We may just answer the question above with, “It’s the way we’ve always done it.” “Because, we just do.” Maybe we’d be courageous enough to reply, “You know, I really don’t know. I’ve never really given it any thought.” During this eight week study we’ll explore:
– What makes Lutheran Worship distinct from Christian Worship.
– Scriptural and theological foundations of liturgical worship.
– The elements of the worship service and their meaning.
– The space we use for worship and the furnishings within this space.
– Explore the many services outlined in The Lutheran Service Book as well as the liturgical calendar.
– What is a Proper and what makes it different from an Ordinary.
– Liturgical terminology, speaking the language of worship.
