Christians normally think of the future in terms of ‘heaven’, but the promised reality is far greater: a new heaven and a new earth, a whole new creation. This class, using the insights of world renowned theologian N. T. Wright, will help you grasp the biblical vision of god’s future, and in the process, hopefully transform your understanding of life in the present. The class will be led by Pastor Paul Kirbas.

No single event in human history has received more attention that the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. The aim of this inspiring book, written by Adam Hamilton, is to help us during the Lenten season to better understand the events that occurred during the last 24 hours of Jesus’ life, to see more clearly the theological significance of Christ’s suffering and death, and to reflect upon the meaning of these events for our lives. Whether you are a longtime Christian or simply curious about the story of Christ’s crucifixion, you are invited to participate in this Lenten journey. The class will be led by Ron Brushwyler.

Worship services are at 8:30 am and 10:45 am on Sundays. The 10:45 am service is contemporary.   Child care is provided for children four years old and younger during the services.
