Starting June 30
This class is open to the community for anyone who would like to attend.
Registration is required
Living with God is an eight-week course designed to equip believers with a biblically grounded theology of the Christian life and practical instruction for cultivating personal spiritual disciplines. The course explores how God uses the gospel, the law, the word, prayer, the Holy Spirit, the church, intentional discipleship, and spiritual vigilance to grow believers in Christian maturity as they conform to the image of Christ.
Participants will study the gospel not only as the message of salvation but as the foundation of daily Christian living and growth. The course will examine the Law of God and its ongoing role in guiding the believer’s obedience and sanctification. Emphasis will be placed on developing faithful habits in the Word of God and prayer, while also understanding the indispensable work of the Holy Spirit in empowering spiritual disciplines.
The course further addresses the Christian’s calling to serve within the local church, to disciple others in various spheres of life, and to live wisely and steadfastly amid spiritual opposition. Living with God aims to foster a disciplined, gospel-shaped life marked by dependence on God’s ordinary means of grace. This course is suitable for new believers, growing Christians, and those seeking renewed intentionality in their walk with God.
There is no fee for this class.
