Class One

In this class we will explore…
Is it possible to vote like a Christian?

It's an election year, and faith and politics are colliding everywhere — Sunday dinners, social media feeds, group chats. We won't tell you who to vote for. In this three-week Hot Topic class, we'll build a biblical framework for thinking about politics: what Scripture says about power, justice, and citizenship, and how our allegiance to Jesus shapes the way we engage with all of it.

You'll leave equipped with a theology of politics you can actually stand on — ready to think clearly, vote with conviction, and disagree well, without losing sight of who's really on the throne.

Class Two

In this class we will explore Revelation and End Times.

This term marks the start of a new sermon series on End Times, and we wanted to open a space to go deeper — to sit in the book of Revelation together and wrestle honestly with its imagery, its warnings, and its hope. In this three-week class, we'll work through the major views on eschatology, unpack Revelation's strange and often misunderstood language, and ask what it means to live faithfully while we wait.

This class is not about predicting dates or stirring up fear. It's about anchoring our hope in Jesus, who holds the future, so we can live expectantly rather than anxiously.
