We are very excited to be offering 4 different adult growth track this fall! Read through below to see which one interests you. Classes run September 17 through November 26 from 7-830pm. A fantastic but optional dinner starts at 6:30pm, and classes start at 7:00pm and run till 8:30pm sharp.

ALPHA

Alpha is an introduction to Christianity that is designed to look at some of the predominant questions asked related to Jesus, Faith & the church.

Alpha is for literally anyone who is curious about what Christians believe and why they believe it. You do not need to be a part of the church or have any specific beliefs. The discussions are not in a format where you will be grilled on your beliefs, but it does talk about Jesus and faith related matters. Perhaps you already believe in Jesus but have nagging questions about your faith. Perhaps you’ve never thought about faith much before. Whatever... Alpha is for everyone! WHAT QUESTIONS ARE COVERED?

  • Week 1: Is There More to Life Than This?
  • Week 2: Who is Jesus?
  • Week 3: Why Did Jesus Die?
  • Week 4: How Can We have Faith?
  • Week 5: Why and How Do I Pray?
  • Week 6: Why and How Do I Read the Bible?
  • Week 7: How Does God Guide Us?
  • Week 8: How Can I Resist Evil?
  • Week 9: Does God Heal Today?
  • Week 10: Why and How Should I Tell Others?
  • Week 11: What About the Church

ALPHA NEXT

This is the companion course for those who have taken ALPHA and would like to learn more. I strongly recommend the optional dinner, then break out for a separate video series by Nicky Gumble and the Alpha Team. It explores Alphas "A Life Worth Living" which is a Bible Study in the book of Philippians which has followup questions throughout the small group portion allow you to express your thoughts and still be challenged by different perspectives. Led in person by a group leader, this series contains a video series and question booklet.

PRACTICING THE WAY

We’re very excited to be offering an 11 week discipleship series out of Seattle called Practicing the Way. It is designed to help get you started on the journey of spiritual formation, help you get unstuck if you’ve stalled out, or just guide you into taking your next step. Ultimately, its goal is to train you to live as an apprentice of Jesus: to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did. There is the video series alongside of workbooks to aid your journey.

EQUIP TO SERVE Level 3

The focus in Equip to Serve (ETS) Book 3 is on learning a simple way to share your faith effectively. Twelve (12) simple verses will be memorized. Participants will achieve simple accountability benchmarks on their daily quiet time. The class requires 2-3 hours of work per week outside of class.

The class will run for 12 weeks beginning September 17 and provide an environment of safety and accountability. Consider to join in for dinner 630pm or only the classes from 7 to 830pm. Materials provided through Discipleship International and hosted by a Calvary member and class teacher Bob Kirk. Cost of the course book is $30. Pre-requisites: none.

TEEN SMALL GROUP

Yippee ki-yay! No western themes... the phrase just sounds like fun! We’re glad to have the return of a teen small group on Wednesday nights. Sign up for optional dinner, come hang out and we’ll talk relevant Bible stuff for the circumstances impacting your life. It’s different for everyone. Lets hang out, talk about it and get some useful Jesus input!

KIDS PROGRAM

We are so pleased to be offering a mid week kids program. There will be games, crafts and mayhem along with kids specific Bible lessons. This is for all kids in K-5 with a registered parent.

***NOTE*** if you are a parent in one of the adult classes you CAN register your kids for dinner as well and we’d be happy to have your whole family. If you are not participating in an adult class and dropping off your child for midweek program, do so at 7pm. There is not a drop off dinner for kids.
