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.

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.

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.

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.
