Xenos Elective Classes:
UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE
a one-day workshop with Josh Benadum
The United States is truly a "melting pot" -- perhaps the most diverse country in the world. As a result, our ministries include people from every imaginable personal and cultural background. What unique challenges are presented when engaging different worldviews with the gospel? How do we discover and understand someone's presuppositions? How do these deeply ingrained beliefs affect discipleship? This class will see to take on these questions and more.

GETTING UNDER THE HOOD
a 3-week class with Lee Campbell
Do you tend to be very superficial with others – having conversations centered on work, entertainment & home improvement? Does this bother you sometimes? Perhaps you are not sure how to begin. Maybe you worry about how messy & confusing things will get if you go deeper. There is a simple approach that will help you become the kind of friend or mentor God intends you to be. Join us for a challenging and practical guide to great relating.

How do we take care of the bodies God gave us? How do we view exercise and eating? What is a healthy body image? In this 6-week class and small group discussion we will seek the biblical perspective on these questions.

DOMESTIC CHURCH PLANTING
a 4-week class with Joe McCallum & Pat Reeder

In this course, students will learn how new churches start, who is well suited to plant them, and why churches like ours need to plant new ones. We’ll hear from church planters who have successfully started new churches, and study church planting movements in the past and present.

WOMEN IN MARRIAGE
a 4-week class with Mary Beth Gladwell
Can marriage work in the 21st century? What would a good marriage look like? Could the Bible, written thousands of years ago, possibly have anything relevant to say about this issue?

PARENTING A PRODIGAL
a 2-week class with Bev DeLashmutt
When a child from a Christian home loses their love for God (whether they leave the church or not), it is often a crushing blow to his or her parents who question themselves and the Lord, "What went wrong?!" Parenting a prodigal is one of the most painful and at times lonely things a Christian parent is called to do. We can, however, choose... we choose whether it will be a crisis of faith or the refining fire.
Wednesdays, 7 – 9:30 p.m.
July 17 & 24
$15/adult or $7/student
(register before 7/15)
