The Obedient Christian in Action (18|22 Ministry)

Teacher: Ty Hall
Location: Campus Outreach House

“I believe in Jesus for salvation…now what?” Whether you have grown up in the church or became a Christian yesterday, it can be difficult to find a simple answer to that question. The goal of this series is to establish the 18-22s at Christ Covenant as obedient Christians who understand who a Christian is, what a Christian does, and why. Using the Navigators’ “Wheel Diagram,” we will walk step by step through what the obedient Christian life looks like in light of the gospel. Beginning with the gospel, we will see how we are to relate to ourselves, God, and others through Christ, obedience, the Word, prayer, and fellowship. Each discipline for relating to God and others will be divided into two sections to explain the reason for that discipline and then to apply it to our everyday lives.
This class is designed for college students ages 18-22. We will have coffee and pastries available from 9:15-10:15am, so feel free to stop by or hang before worship!

Odyssey of Paul the Apostle: Trials, Travels, Teaching

Teachers: Paul Engle
Location: Worship Center 201 & 211

This class is hosted by the Senior Adults community and open to all.
Join us for a fresh look at the life, trials, and travels of one of the world’s most influential and inspiring leaders. On this odyssey, we’ll dig beneath the surface to look at the cultural, religious, geographical, and social context in which he lived. Learn how this man who faced multiple trials can inspire and inform our daily walk with Christ in the 21st century. Photos, maps, charts, and other new graphics will be used on hundreds of slides. Weekly handouts provided during the 11 weeks.

Growing Deeper Together: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (Studies in 1 & 2 Kings)

Teachers: Blair Smith & Will Ross
Location: Community Life Center Rooms 1 & 2

This class has a unique format: The first half of class will be fellowship and discussion around eight-person tables led by hosts. Then, the second half of class will feature a lecture applying the themes of the content, which for this class will be 1 & 2 Kings. We will trace the life of God’s people in Israel from the time of King Solomon to the division of the kingdom to the exile of both Israel and Judah. We will encounter good kings and bad kings, great prophets such as Elijah, Elisha and Isaiah, and learn profound lessons of God’s ways with his people, which reverberate today.

Digital Liturgies: Biblical Wisdom for a Technological Age

Teacher: Derek Wells & Teaching Team
Location: Community Life Center Rooms 3 & 4

Not only does technology have a tremendous reach and influence in today’s age, but it carries with it certain promises. The promise of the digital age is that all our needs, curiosities and deepest desires can be met with the click of a button. This class will examine the false promises and shaping influences of our digital age, using Samuel James’ book Digital Liturgies. In doing so, we will explore the biblical alternative and vision for satisfying our deepest longings by finding rest in God’s provision and purpose for our lives.

Real Questions, Real People:
Practical Apologetics for Everyday Faith

Teacher: Zach Fulginiti & Teaching Team
Location: Community Life Center Rooms 5 & 6

How do we answer the honest doubts and objections our friends, neighbors, and even we ourselves raise about Christianity? This class explores some of the most common challenges to the faith—drawing on Scripture, church history, and leading Christian thinkers—to help ordinary Christians respond with clarity,
compassion, and confidence. Come ready to deepen your own trust in Christ and to speak of him faithfully in a skeptical age.

The Biggest Story (King’s Community)

Teachers: Various
Location: Worship Center Room 107

The King’s Community is a class designed for those with special learning needs or disabilities, but open to any who want to get to know and learn together with this wonderful community in our church. In addition to singing, serving and sharing concerns and celebrations in prayer with one another, team teachers use an engaging curriculum with an interactive approach to facilitate discipleship and community connection. This semester we will be working through stories from The Biggest Story Bible Storybook, written by our pastor, Kevin DeYoung, and learning to see the biggest story that runs through them all and points us over and over again to Jesus.

Who is God? (Middle & High School Youth)

Teachers: CCYM Staff
Location: Youth Center (Lower Community Life Center)

The knowledge of the God of the Bible is a powerful thing. It builds, heals, challenges, and saves. Our series this semester will explore several aspects of who the triune God is, how God works, and what makes God our God. Topics will include God’s attributes, the persons of the Trinity, God’s involvement in our world, and Jesus’ revelation to us as the incarnate God. Join us for a regular Sunday rhythm of Bible study and prayer as we grow in our understanding of our God so we can grow in our love for him and for one another.
