High School Sunday School

The Book of Acts - Jesus left His followers with a mission, and the Spirit of God moved mightily through them to fulfill it. Luke's account of how the gospel was carried from Jerusalem to Rome, despite every conceivable obstacle, challenges us to know and live out our mission in the world.

Outreach Training

God opens doors of outreach opportunities in all of our lives. This interactive Bible study will look at: recognizing opportunities, preparing for those opportunities, and ultimately having the confidence to walk through the door God has opened for us. Scripture and prayer will be the foundation for this study, but we will also use a number of basic business sales concepts to provide us techniques and strategies to carry out the Great Commission.

Lutheran Spirituality, The Cross Bible Study

This adult Bible study series explores the rich depths of a  distinctly Lutheran spirituality that begins in Baptism and is  founded upon  God's Word. Written by respected Lutheran  scholars in the United  States and Australia, this adult Bible  study emphasizes the Bible, Luther's Small Catechism, and  the Lutheran hymnal as concrete and integral resources for  a truly Lutheran spirituality.

Quest for Authentic Manhood

This study focuses on a man's core identity and gives an overview of basic manhood issues. It will help men deal with various identity issues by looking back at past wounds and other things that may have distorted their idea of biblical masculinity. Throughout the course of the study, men will learn how to clearly define manhood and will finally be able to give a succinct and passionate answer to the questions, "What is a man?" and "What am I living to be?"

Women's Bible Study:

A New Song

A New Song is a fresh approach to individual and group Bible study. Each book in the series provides six weeks of stories—faith narratives—based on biblical psalms. The authentic faith narratives tell real stories of women facing real-life issues. Just like you. Each author found help, encouragement, and direction for her life from God's Word and shares her stories in her words. Their stories, new songs, will help you weave His Word into the unique melody of your life.
