• Apologetics and Worldview - Are you prepared to defend your beliefs when challenged? Understanding the Christian worldview and applying it to challenges, helps us navigate our world by discovering truth in a post-truth culture. In this course you will be trained to think clearly when you are on the battlefield of ideas. Sundays, beginning TODAY during the 10:45 service.
• Bible Study Methods - The goal of Bible study as a whole is to make application of the Scripture to our lives while the goal of interpretation, within Bible study, is to discover the meaning of the text. Only after we know the meaning of a text can we understand the significance that a specific text has for us. In this 6-week course you will learn that the Bible has one interpretation or meaning, with many applications. Sundays, beginning TODAY during the 10:45 a.m. service.
• The Core - Whether you are struggling to articulate your beliefs, or just need a refresher in Fellowship’s Core Doctrines, this course is for you. We will take six weeks and walk through our core beliefs and help build a theological foundation that supports them. Beginning TODAY during the 10:45 a.m. service.
