Young Adult Equip Class – Practicing the Way: Generosity

January 27, 2025 to March 3, 2025 | 7:00 PM-8:30 PM

Join us for a 5-week Young Adult equip class. NEW: GR 12s are welcome to join us :) When Jesus said there is more joy in giving than receiving, he turned our vision of the good life on its head. Through the practice of generosity, we tap into God’s joy, find freedom from greed through contentment, and embody God’s concern for those in need. We are diving into another Practicing the Way Course created by John Mark Comer on Generosity. In this Equip class, you will be given practical ways to learn how to cultivate a spiritual discipline of giving. Note: we are pausing on Family Day and will resume weekly meetings until March 3rd.

Equip Class: Why Talking About Jesus is Hard and How to Make It Easier

February 4, 2025 to February 18, 2025 | 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Most of us know that we should share our faith with others. Most of us even want to share our faith with others, and yet we struggle to do so. Why is that? Why does it seem to be so difficult to do something we know we ought to and in many cases even want to do? That's the question we'll tackle in this Equip class because the first step to becoming better at sharing our faith is understanding why we struggle to share it in the first place.
