The Divine Conspiracy

Mary Defini - Room 26 - Starts March 22nd

In an era when many Christians consider Jesus a beloved but remote savior, renowned author Dallas Willard argues compellingly for the relevance of God to every aspect of our existence. Masterfully capturing the central insights of Christ's teachings in a fresh way for today's seekers, Willard helps us to explore a revolutionary way to experience God--by knowing Him as an essential part of the here and now, rather than only as a part of the hereafter. This study explores the true nature of the teachings of Jesus in a fresh, relevant light. Based on the Sermon on the Mount, Willard calls Christians into an authentic faith and then offers a practical plan by which we can answer the call to become more Christ-like.  Book cost: $25.00

Rhythms for Life

Brandon Buchanan - Room 29

Teacher Brandon Buchanan will guide you as you contemplate some important questions: Who are you becoming? And how will you get there? Spiritual transformation is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Each of us has a particular identity, gifts, values, role, and purpose. Our vocation is our identity uniquely lived out before God, bringing our being and doing together. Learn how to live a life that is more aligned with who you are meant to be, and discover spiritual rhythms that move at the pace of grace, and align you with your unique identity and calling in Christ. Book Cost: $15.00

C.S. Lewis: The Great Divorce

Wally Hardy-Room 33

Join teacher Wally Hardy in a study of the  C.S. Lewis book, The Great Divorce, a classic Christian allegorical tale about a bus ride from hell to heaven. An extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, grace and judgment, Lewis’s revolutionary idea in the The Great Divorce is that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis’ The Great Divorce will change the way we think about good and evil. Book cost: $15.00

Wednesday Student Celebration

We encourage all middle school and high school students to join us from 6:30 – 8:00 in our Student Ministries Area. As we gather, we have carpetball, ping-pong, 4-square, and foosball happening. We begin our night with a time of worship together, led by our Praise Team. This is always a special time. Worship is typically followed by games or other fun activities. Our groups then divide for a time of learning as we seek to learn more about what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Our night ends with a time of worship and closing prayer together. Guests are always welcome, so invite someone to come with you. See you on Wednesday nights as we celebrate together.

Godz Kidz

Megan Brown, Director of Children's Ministry - Room 22

Our top priority of children's ministry is to engage in learning to "love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37-39, NIV) The motive is that together we will be moved to love God by inciting wonder, love life by provoking discovery, and love others fueling our passions. 
(excerpt from Orange Kids Scope and Cycle, 2022-2023)
