Faith Courses for the Fall


BEGINS SUN SEPT 7 AT 9:30AM

Our fall kick-off is quickly approaching and we have engaging and exciting opportunities to grow your faith. As a preview of things to come, we will launch the following grow in faith courses.

Romans: A Survey of Paul's Most Influential Letter
BEGINS SUN SEPT 7 AT 9:30AM / PASTOR SCOTT ABEL 

What does it mean to be right with God? How can sinners be declared righteous? And what difference does the gospel make in real life?

Building on our recent summer sermon series in Romans 8, this 7-week overview will step back and explore the broader message of Paul’s letter – tracing the movement from sin and judgment to grace, faith, and a life transformed by God’s mercy. This study will help us see how the good news of Jesus Christ meets our deepest need and reveals the righteousness of God given by grace alone, through faith alone.

Foundations of Faith
BEGINS SUN SEPT 7 AT 9:30AM / CASSIE SCHERMBECK, DCE

This course is an introduction to the basic doctrines of the Christian Church from a Lutheran perspective. We’ll cover why it even matters, knowing God, who God is, and His work, and our work. We’ll specifically look at the Person and Nature of Jesus Christ, and His work on our behalf, both past and present. For those interested, another course will be offered in November covering salvation, conversion, justification, sanctification, Law and Gospel, prayer, the doctrine of the Church, and the Sacraments. These classes are more explanatory than the short survey of Introduction to Lutheran Teachings.

Finding My Purpose Again
BEGINS SUN SEPT 7 AT 9:30AM / PASTOR KELLY CRABBE

We all go through seasons in life and transitions and losses. This class is for people who are currently working through a difficult place in their journey. Class sessions will help us learn to live in paradoxes, lean into emotions, learn our boundaries, grow and confidence, see purpose, and be ready to serve. Join us as together we grow beyond surviving to healing.

Introduction to Lutheran Teachings
BEGINS SUN SEPT 7 AT 9:30AM / PASTOR MICAH STEINER

This introductory class for those newer to Our Father is an opportunity to explore life and its meaning from a historic Lutheran Christian viewpoint. Feel welcome to ask questions about the church body our congregation is a part of; we’ll spend six weeks in a relaxed, non-threatening, fun environment together. This class is not as in-depth as Foundations: Essential Teachings of the Christian Faith.
