Events and Classes

Club Forward is currently full and waitlist only.  We are working hard to find more adult volunteers to join the team so we can let kids in off the waitlist so we recommend joining the list if you are interested. If you are interested in volunteering as an adult please contact Kristen. Come join us at Club Forward. Kids in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 come each week to have fun, make friends and enjoy a different activity each week! Kids will be divided into four groups that they will be with each week.

Being tired seems to be the norm these days! The demands of work, family, society, and even church can make us feel like we're stretched beyond our limits. Sometimes life just feels overwhelming! Exhaustion is NOT the life Jesus invites us into. But how do we live the "Jesus way" in the midst of so much around us competing for our time? Join us for an evening in which we tackle this important question while offering some practical handles for living above the fray. We're confident you will experience a lot of encouragement, valuable insight, and (I dare not forget) . . . a delicious meal of smoked meats with all the fixings!! All this for $20 per person.

The gospel is good news for all people. But good news means different things to different people groups. How can we effectively share the gospel with people from very different backgrounds and perspectives? This class will help you to contextualize the gospel for people of various faith (and non-faith) backgrounds. You will be hearing from Forward missionaries of various people groups and what they have learned in sharing the gospel. You will also be led each week in an interactive discussion format and will be encouraged to think of ways you can share the gospel with those God has brought across your path.

The CAP Money Equip Class helps you to steward wisely by teaching you how to establish a budget, get out of debt, spend & save wisely, and give generously. CAP will be held in a small group setting, in-person, at our Cambridge Location.
