Apologetics Apologetic arguments do not save anyone; only Jesus Christ can do that. People are saved when they are convicted and drawn by the Holy Spirit, but apologetics can be a powerful springboard into the good news of the gospel. Apologetics is like a tapestry with multicolored designs incorporating multiple sections with differing themes. This 16-week course provides a high-level overview of apologetics; it is not designed to make one an expert but to cultivate a Biblical worldview, strengthen believers & empower them to defend the faith amidst a culture descending into paganism. While not necessary, two specific books are recommended: “On Guard” by William Lane Craig ($19 paperback & $8 Kindle at Amazon) “Why God Makes Sense in a World That Doesn’t: The Beauty of Christian Theism” by Gavin Ortlund ($16 paperback & $15 kindle at Amazon). Register Here	Coed	Block 1 & 2	Bob Pratico	Room 210, MC
Corinthians Study of I & II Corinthians. A verse-by-verse, systematic study of Paul’s letters to the Corinthians. God led Paul to establish and lead the church at Corinth, one of the most wicked and decadent cities of the ancient world. After Paul left, the Corinthian church encountered a multitude of problems. Paul's letters guided this struggling church to present the hope of salvation to a sinful world. Come join our journey of Biblical learning.

Marriage/ReEngage ReEngage is a marriage enhancement ministry that examines God’s design for marriage and applies principles from the Bible to guide couples towards growth in their relationship.

Doing Life With Your Adult Children If you've raised a child, you know that parenting doesn't stop when they turn eighteen. In many ways, your relationship gets even more complicated--your heart and your head are as involved as ever, but you can feel things shifting, whether your child lives under your roof or rarely stays in contact. Doing Life with Your Adult Children helps you navigate this rich and challenging season of parenting.
