All around us, cultural pressure is increasing and theological literacy is declining. There is increasing confusion and dysfunction. As a result, we believe that an hour of worship and preaching is no longer enough to fully equip the church for its calling in this age. Sunday Classes will help us go deeper into theology, cultural issues, and practical Christian living.

Faithful, faith-filled prayer is not easy. So what is easy? For prayer to become rote and repetitive rather than a real part of a relationship with God. This class will explore how to find motivation and creativity for life-giving prayer through God’s word using the tools taught in Donald Whitney’s book Praying the Bible.
