"Becoming who you were created to be so you can do what you were created to do."
Instructors: Jeff Schulte (Bio) and Lee Hudson (Bio)
Rage, anxiety, resentment, apathy, depression, lust, bitterness. What do these movements of the heart have to do with longing, desire, hope, wanting, faith, tragedy, innocence, healing, courage, wisdom, intimacy, passion, purpose, neediness, acceptance and freedom? How does the exploration of my own story make sense in the light of the "greater story of redemptive history? How does what goes on in my head have to do with what's going on in my heart? How do I keep my heart alive to God and connected intimately to those in my life when so often I feel I'm going through the motions...numb but wanting more because I know I was made for more? Requirements for the class: come needy, broken, thirsty, hungry, willing, wanting, and maybe even desperate.
Purchase book/cd The Voice of the Heart the first night of class.

Strategies for Discipleship
Every Monday, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM, from 09/13/2010 to 12/06/2010
Cost: $15 Fall Course Catalog
Books: Desiring God by John Piper and Celebration of Discipline by Richard J. Foster
Instructors: Paul and Cindy Vanderweide BIO
The goal of Strategies for Discipleship is a deeper relationship with God that results in life change—life change in you, in the lives of all the participants and in others whom you lead and influence.
We desire to cultivate an environment in which life change can sprout and flourish. These guidelines are not a formula guaranteeing life change! Life change is God’s work. But we can hinder God’s work by getting in the way when we advance our own agendas, harbor sinful patterns or carry excess religious baggage. To advance rather than hinder God’s work, we want to join him in his work by following Christ-like patterns. These patterns will honor God because they are consistent with his character and they exhibit the life they proclaim.
Cultivating an environment for life change applies to virtually any setting in which followers of Christ seek to impact other people for Christ: small groups, spiritual partnerships, communities, courses, prayer meetings, etc.
Journey with others as they learn to…Model personal victory of life in Christ, unleash a vision of God for others, and courageously challenge others toward spiritual transformation.

Instructor: Jim Capaldo BIO
Witnessing used to involve laying out the truth and guiding a person to understand and accept it. But the awareness of basic Christian principles has changed and so have the needs of pre-believers. With a passion for people, authors David and Norman Geisler share an engaging, conversational approach to evangelism as they address:
• What makes old models of witnessing ineffective in today's culture
• Why evangelism must start with relational pre-evangelism
• How to ask questions, listen attentively, and understand what someone believes
• Ways to identify the real barriers to belief in order to build a bridge to truth
• How to keep dialogue going with different personality types
This refreshing, practical resource is ideal for churches and individuals. Readers will discover how God uses their everyday encounters for great things when they switch from trying to witness effectively to effectively being a witness through communication and compassion.
