Participation in this class is a prerequisite to becoming a church member.
Discovery #2 - Exalt
This 7 week course, “The Life You’ve Always Wanted”, developed by John Ortberg, explains not only why it is important for Christians to grow in their relationship to God but also offers some practical steps as to how to do this.
Discovery #3 - Equip
This 6 week course, “Discover Your SHAPE”, is designed to show that every person is unique and that God has designed each individual for a unique purpose. In this very practical course, participants will be led through a process whereby they will be able to discover what their God given gifts are and how they can use them to further his kingdom.
Discovery #4 - Evangelize
In this 4 week course, “Just Walk Across the Room” by Bill Hybels, participants will learn not only what the good news is, but also how to share it in a natural non-threatening, relational way.
