2026 Summer Electives

The gospel changes everything about us: it transforms our hearts, renews our minds, and instructs all that we do. This summer we are offering equipping opportunities we call “Summer Electives.” The cost is $15 and classes begin as early as May 20. Read more about each elective below and be sure to register!

If the cost is prohibitive for you, please let us know. You can email Kaitlyn with any questions or needs you may have. 

‣ Men's Study: Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes offers much needed wisdom for our day. When we take an honest look at the world, there is a lot that seems absurd. Life is fleeting, meaning is elusive, and answers are hard to come by. We are busy, productive, multi-tasking people, but what do we gain from all our activity? Is there anything we can know or achieve or experience in this life that will prove to be an advantage in the end? If not, then how do we find real happiness in this world? If you are ready to grapple with these questions, this is the study for you.

‣ Missional Living In Everyday Life
Missional living is not about adding more activities to an already busy life—it’s about living with greater intentionality in the life you already have. In this 4-week class, Brad Watson will help participants explore what it means to live with gospel purpose in the ordinary rhythms, relationships, habits, and opportunities of life. Together, we’ll consider how Christians can faithfully and naturally share the hope of Jesus.

This class is designed to be practical, encouraging, and accessible for anyone who wants to grow in everyday faithfulness—whether you feel confident sharing your faith or unsure where to begin. Through biblical reflection, discussion, and practical application, participants will learn how to recognize opportunities for hospitality, conversation, meals, and witness in their existing schedules and communities.

Come learn how your everyday routines can become deeply missional.

‣ Gospel-Shaped Parenting
Parenting is one of the most significant—and shaping—callings many of us will ever receive. But it can also feel overwhelming, complex, and uncertain. This 4-week class will explore how the gospel shapes not only what we believe about parenting, but how we actually parent day to day. This class is designed to be practical, encouraging, and grounded in the hope of the gospel. Whether you have young children, teenagers, or are preparing for parenting, you’ll be equipped to grow in your role of discipling your children with wisdom, grace, and purpose.
