How to Study the Bible
Taught by Chris Willingham | 9 a.m.
Have you ever wanted to read the Bible in a way that changes your life? Have you ever seen people so passionate about God's word and felt like you were missing something? This is our first Institute class and teaches the techniques of deep, meaningful engagement with scripture. Once you finish the course, you'll never read the Bible the same way again.
Spiritual Disciplines
Taught by Anthony Bocciardi | 9 a.m.
Have you ever wondered how to draw near to God? In this class, we will explore the ways that God has given us in His word to draw near to Him. These ways to draw near are called spiritual disciplines. Several of us know about these disciplines such as prayer, fasting, and community, and have questions about how to walk them out. Wherever you are on the journey, this class will equip you to have a greater understanding and practice of drawing near to God with all your heart.
New Testament Survey
Taught by Cayli Pankratz | 9 a.m.
The New Testament Survey class explores the biblical world of the first century, from the life of Jesus to the early church. We will read the New Testament together and discuss the message and application of each book within its literary, cultural, and spiritual background. Come experience the joy of seeing God’s message in all its glory in a community of fellow learners.
Financial Stewardship
Taught by Tim Johnson | 9 a.m.
What does it look like to have financial freedom? Do you wonder how to be a good steward of your resources? How do we honor God with our resources and participate in His mission? These are common questions that many of us wrestle with. Join us on the journey of freedom in financial stewardship.
Testimonials
Over a short period of time, a real community was formed. Our common thread was a deep desire to grow and gain wisdom from the Bible. The course gave me a greater capability to understand God’s Word and apply it.

I feel more on fire to get into the Living Word every day. I highly recommend this program to anyone who feels like they aren’t getting enough out of their daily Bible time. It will help the words on the pages come to life!
