“JESUS—LEGEND, OR LORD?”
Led by Pastor Mike Von Behren

9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings in the Fellowship Hall
In this class we’ll take a closer look at Jesus of Nazareth—his life, his words, his miracles, and his mission. In his own time, people asked, “Who is this man?” Many are still asking that today. We will seek the answers from Scripture, history, and even archaeology, with information provided by Dr. Paul Maier on video.

9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings in the Preschool Room
An introduction to the basic teachings of Christ and our Lutheran church. This course is designed especially for new members of our church family, “friends” who are considering joining us, “inquirers” who would like to know more about our Lutheran beliefs and practices, and anyone seeking an informative review/summary of our faith.

“BOOK OF ROMANS”
Youth Bible Study
9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings in the Green Room
Our postmodern culture is marked by a distinctive multicultural atmosphere toward extreme toleration, including the affirmation of all expressions of religion and personal spirituality.

Our Sunday morning study offers a straightforward appraisal of 12 of the world’s most prominent religions. As we begin comparing these religions to the Bible and Christianity, a constant refrain will be heard—the fullness of God’s love is seen only in the Christian faith.

“GOD'S DISCOVERY KINGDOM”
Sunday School Workshop Rotation
For students age 3 through 6th grade
9:30 a.m. Sunday mornings in the Education Wing
Classes meet each Sunday morning in the Education Wing. Age appropriate materials and crafts share the timeless truths of God, His love for us, and the salvation won for us by His Son, Jesus. Elementary grade classes follow a rotating workshop schedule. Each week classes rotate to a new "worshop" and learn Biblical lessons in a fresh new way.
