Electives

God values our bodies so much that Jesus Himself was incarnated in one. What does God have to say about our bodies? What did sin do to them, and what will our bodies be like when all things are made new? In this elective, we will answer all of these questions and look at how we are to love and take care of the bodies God has given us.

We spend most of our days pursuing peace, pleasure & fun. In and of themselves, those aren't always bad things. God gives us pleasures and joys throughout our day-to-day lives, but he also gives us suffering. No one in their right mind would ask God to give them more pain and affliction, but it is often the primary avenue God uses to make us more like his Son, Jesus. In this class, we will consider why we suffer and how we can strive to live faithfully in the midst of a broken and hurting world.

How can I find beauty & Truth in the music I listen to (even if that music isn’t “Christian")? And how can I find God in that music? Music speaks to our souls and to the world because music is art, and art is from God. And the Psalms do the same thing. As St. Ambrose said, “The Psalms are a gymnasium for the soul.” Pull up for bops, chats, and reflections that compare & contrast modern songs with ancient Psalms in the ways they speak about beauty, Truth, and the things that resonate most deeply with us.

What is Christianity really about, and why does it matter for your life right now? In this elective, we’ll walk through the big story of the Bible and see how God rescues people through the gospel. We’ll explore who God is as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, why Scripture shapes how we live, and why the church is more than just something you attend. As we go, we’ll connect these truths to the questions you’re already asking: Who am I? Why am I here? Where do I belong? You’ll see that these aren’t brand-new ideas or trends, but truths Christians have believed and trusted for centuries. Let's explore the faith together ,have space to ask real questions, and a chance to build a foundation that will stick with you long after the week ends.
