Sunday Morning Classes

Sunday Morning Classes

CGS is a deliberately thoughtful community of believers, endeavoring to bear witness to the Real Jesus. One of the ways we further this desire is by meeting together on Sunday mornings at 9:30 before our worship hour begins, to study God’s Truth together. During these gatherings, our goals are to understand Scripture more clearly, for the purpose of applying it to our own daily lives more faithfully.

We tackle Life in all of its manifestations in these gatherings, because we believe Scripture is intended to inform our approach to every aspect of the world’s brokenness: Family. Vocation. Marriage. Divorce. Singleness. Sexuality. Culture. Gender. Pain and Suffering. Justice. Despair. Joy.

Come join us for education, for friendship, for discussion, for encouragement, and for perspective on living in Christian relationship with each other in service of Christ’s purposes in our world. Come learn how to apply the teachings of the Real Jesus to the problems of Real People who are confronting the daily realities of the Real World!

Winter/Spring 2024 SMCs Session Two

The following SMCs will meet February 18, 25 & March 3, 10, 24, 2024:

OPEN CLASS FORMAT

The Intentional Father Study Group. Jed Busbee, Simon Stokes, & Steve Jones. Room S202.  AWhat does it take for a father to impart wisdom, responsibility, life skills, and faith to his son? How do fathers walk their son through the transition from boyhood into Godly manhood? Jed, Steve, and Simon will address these questions using Jon Tyson’s book The Intentional Father as a framework for the study. Please register here if you would like to attend this class.

Jesus, Justice, & Gender Roles. Mark Whipple, Robin Kiefer, & Bob Burns. Room S212. In this class Mark, Robin, and Bob will explore the key (and controversial) texts dealing with gender roles in the church (particularly as they reference teaching and leadership). While the class takes a complementation view, women will be encouraged to teach and lead in ways that may startle you.

The Cross of Christ. Chris Garrett. Room S203-204. The way we think and act must be shaped by the central event of history, the Cross. In this class based on John Stott’s masterpiece The Cross of Christ, we will dive deep into the question of why Christ had to die. We will examine its implications for Christian discipleship, the conquest of evil, the sacraments, and the challenges of living as followers of Christ today.

Coffee available in the Concourse beginning at 9:15am. All classes begin at 9:30am.
