ACTS Classes for New Believers  
6 wks - 1 hr This epistle written by Paul is addressed to a group of believers who are rich beyond measure in Christ Jesus, yet are living as beggars. It was intended to make Christians more aware of our position in Christ and to motivate us to draw upon our rich spiritual source in daily radical living. It addresses how to be Spirit-filled, have a godly marriage, and how to win in spiritual warfare, and contains vital knowledge for every Christian.
12 wks - 1 hr Everyone and everything begins in the book of Genesis. It gives us our first recorded information about God, ourselves, and our world. This is a book that every maturing Christian should study.
6 wks - 1 hr How do we hear His voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear? Discover if hearing God is vital to our walk and how it works. We’ll look at various ways He is with us and how He communicates with us. Learn how we can be sure it’s the Lord speaking, and what to do on those occasions when we feel He is not speaking to us.
10 wks, 1 hr Based on the book, “Rick Warren’s Bible Study Methods,” learn 12 ways you can unlock God’s Word. At least one of these methods will be exactly the right approach for you: Devotional, Chapter Summary, Character Quality, Thematic, Topical, Word Study and others. A great course for new believers. Book available in bookstore.
6 wks, 1 hr Eight core spiritual beliefs and attitudes serve as “triggers” for spiritual growth. Learn to understand and embrace these to grow as Christians. A great class for new believers.
7 wks, 2 hrs Live a life that makes a difference and take steps to develop a victorious Christian life. Grow a deeper relationship with Christ as you practice the six biblical disciplines of a disciple. This is not only for new Christians, but for all who thirst for a deeper relationship with the Master. Workbooks are available in the bookstore.
11 wks, 1 ¼ hrs Starting Point is designed to create a conversational environment where people can explore faith and experience community. Starting Point is ideal for new believers, seekers, and those who have been away from the church for a while. Each week, a theme from the Bible, such as creation, sin, grace, and others will be covered during session time. Audio CD’s and workbook $10 in class.
6 wks, 1 hr The Gospels declare the central message of Jesus to be the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15). Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Thy Kingdom come. . .” In what sense has His Kingdom already come; and what is there yet to look forward to? Most importantly, what does it mean now for a Christian to be a “Kingdom disciple?”
