Class Time: 9:45-10:45 a.m.
Duration: September 12-October 24
Class Style: Video/Group Discussion
Class Composition: Adult Co-Ed
Class Location: Room 306
Overview:  Sometimes as humans we shy away from hard conversations around sensitive topics.  As Christians, these topics can create barriers to discussing our faith with others.  In this study, we will seek to embrace the hard conversations through a scriptural lens.  Ephesians 2:11–16 carries a unique importance regarding an issue that has plagued American churches since the conception of America itself—racism. The doubt and frustration surrounding current conversations about race and ethnicity provoke questions like, “Why do we keep bringing racism up?” “Isn’t race just a social construct?” and “Isn’t there just one race—the human race?” However, our nation has come to a turning point where many Christians can no longer ignore racial tensions or use simplistic responses to deflect from the complexity of our country’s racial problem. As those who follow Jesus, Christians have the unique opportunity to enter into—rather than shy away from—conversations about race and reconciliation in light of the hope of the gospel.

Class Title: The "Omnis" of God

Duration: October 17-31
Class Style: Direct Instruction/Group Discussion
Class Composition: Adult Co-Ed
Class Location: Room 202 (in-person)
Overview:  There are some large words that theologians have used to describe God, and all of them begin with the prefix, "omni."  The words may be big, but the importance of understanding is "big" as well.  What do the omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence of God have to do with our faith?  How can understanding the nature of God (with respect to these three descriptions) help you better understand the God we're called to serve?  This class will be an informative and interesting three-week study of the nature of God.
