We combine our adult Sunday discipleship classes and study an issue together that has bearing on how we live our lives as Christ-followers--no matter what age or stage of life we find ourselves in. This year, we will gather to look at the theme: The Art of Neighboring.

This 5-week class is co-taught by Corey Widmer and Charles Teixeira (Pastoral Intern, Third Church and X3Leader, XXXChurch). The series presents God’s original intention for sex in a generation whose sexual expression largely disregards any religious influence. The course pays particular attention to areas of hurts and struggles in need of pastoral care and guidance: pornography, pre-marital sex, homosexuality, transgenderism, masturbation, sex and singleness, and sex in marriage. The class is a frank discussion of the issues with opportunities for open conversation. The event is intended for adults (18 or older).

A 7 week series led by Nan & Boyd Clarke
When we approach the Bible it is easier to say, “God says it, I believe it, that settles it”, than it is to actually put this adage into practice in our modern world.
