Core Seminars

Person studying the Bible

Core Seminars are your place to get trained and equipped for life and service, inside and outside the church.

The Basics

What: Each semester we offer a variety of seminars. These courses are geared to equip you in areas of spiritual growth, theology, and Bible study as well as specific Christian living topics like parenting and marriage.

Note: Seminars will repeat, so if you miss one this semester, it will be offered again later.

When: Core Seminars meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00am.

Duration: Seminars run anywhere from 4 weeks to 15 weeks, depending on the course content.

Children & Students: Childcare is available for birth through pre-K. There are also classes for elementary school students and middle and high school students during this time.


Fall 2026 Seminars (starting 8/16)

We are offering two fall seminars. Both begin August 16th.

Seminar 1: Faith with Answers: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics

Are Christianity’s truth claims reasonable, or are they simply matters of faith? In this class, we will explore the most common questions and objections raised against Christianity, examining topics such as God, Jesus, the Bible, suffering, science, and other religions through a biblical and evidential lens. Participants will strengthen their confidence in God’s Word, deepen their understanding of the Christian faith, and learn to engage unbelievers with both conviction and grace.

Teacher: Troy Brown
When: Sundays at 9am
Where: Gymnatorium
Who: All are welcome!

Seminar 2: Dust to Dust: Aging Wisely in an Anti-Aging World (Women’s Study)

In Psalm 90:12, Moses prays, “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” In this seminar, we will consider God’s design for every life stage, using scripture and the resource, Dust to Dust: Aging Wisely in an Anti-Aging World, by Jen Wilkin. No matter what life stage you are in presently, this theological and practical conversation will help you think about what God says about aging and how it can help you to live fully each day.

Teacher: Jess Griz
When: Sunday at 9am
Where: Room A1
Who: This is a Women’s study.
