INSPIRED BY “Deep Discipleship” by J.T. English, we ARE being more intentional about providing “learning spaces” for those wanting to go deeper in the things of God.
INTENTIONAL SCHEDULE: We’re being more intentional about WHEN we’ll study – multiple classes offered throughout the week between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, and between New Years and Easter.
INTENTIONAL FORMAT: More intentional in HOW we study, aspiring towards all our classes being “active learning” environments where our teachers are providing pre-reading assignments and then engaging those in their class in a dialogue approach towards learning.
INTENTIONAL CONTENT: More intentional around WHAT we'll study. We need to study BOOKS OF THE BIBLE, for sure. But there’s also value in studying the BELIEFS IN THE BIBLE, the theology and doctrines which are revealed through a holistic consideration of the Scriptures. And, as disciples who are to “walk” according to Scripture, we want classes targeted towards BEHAVIORS FROM THE BIBLE, teaching spiritual habits which are foundational to growing in Christ.

Written from a prison cell, Paul's letter to the Philippians is about remaining steadfast in the faith and joy of the gospel regardless of our circumstances. Some of the key themes in this letter include the possibility of experiencing joy in adversity, the call to foster a sense of shared joy and mutual encouragement among believers, cultivating a firm faith, the role of the gospel as the source of true and enduring hope, humility and servanthood, unity in Christ, and much more.
