Christianity 101

Chris Holland

What does it mean to be and practice Christianity? That question used to be so simple when I was a kid. At least I think it was. Today in some circles it means to "be kind" or "do better". In other places it means to simply love everyone except for your enemy or anyone that disagrees with you. So what is it? How should a teenager navigate this question and feel confident with the answers? Christianity 101 will seek to discover those answers and more! We'll also have free candy, so if you like candy and are willing to sit through a class with a not smart person in order to get said candy come and join us.

What The Bible Says About Dating & Singleness

Nick Whitaker

One of the most confusing and alluring areas of our lives is romance, but the Bible doesn't seem to say much about it. We read a lot about marriage, a lot about friends, but what about the weird world of dating in 2025? In this elective, we're going to explore the most common myths we tend to believe about romantic love and how the Bible illuminates a more stable and joyful path to walk when it comes to our love lives.

My Restless Heart

Xavier Reyes

Feeling overwhelmed by stress, fear, or uncertainty? You’re not alone. Anxiety is real, but so is the peace Jesus offers. In this session, we’ll explore what Scripture says about anxiety, why the gospel speaks directly to our worries, and how we can find true rest in Christ, no matter the circumstances.

What Do I Do? How to Make Decisions with Confidence and Rest

Kelley Van Haitsma

What extracurriculars should I stay a part of? Should I date this person? What should I prioritize this weekend? Which college should I go to? What career should I pursue? And the big one: What is God’s will for my life? Decisions, especially big ones, can be low-key paralyzing. But they don’t have to be. In this seminar, we will look at the ins and outs of knowing God’s will and how He invites us to take steps forward with true security and rest.
