Those participating will have the opportunity to develop relationships with other class participants and current members.

Discipleship in Christ’s Kingdom

Teachers: Doug Hart & Mark Limkeman
Location: Community Life Center Rooms 5 & 6

As believers, the kingdoms of this world—including our personal one—can still capture our allegiance, but Christ’s work sets us free and calls us into his glorious kingdom. We live in the time between the inauguration of his kingdom and its consummation when he returns. These days are uniquely challenging for Christians but also greatly blessed. Come and let’s grow together in understanding and living kingdom-centered lives right here and now in Charlotte, and forever. For this class, we will be using Brandon D. Crowe’s book The Kingdom of God and the Work of Christ.

Growing Closer to God and One Another in Your Marriage

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

This class will explore God’s design for unity, love and spiritual growth in marriage. We will examine his purpose for oneness in marriage while taking an honest and practical look at the challenges couples often face and the ways that God might use those challenges to deepen our love for him and intimacy with one another.

Growing Deeper Together – Truth for Life:
Knowing God through the Great Doctrines of the Bible

Teacher: Blair Smith, Kevin DeYoung, & Chad Van Dixhoorn
Location: Community Life Center Rooms 1 & 2

What do Christians believe and why does it matter? Many people assume theology is only for pastors or scholars. In reality, every Christian is a theologian. Whenever we think about God, Scripture, the Christian life, or heaven, we are doing theology. The question is not whether we have theology, but whether our theology is shaped by God’s Word. Together we will explore the great doctrines of the Christian faith and discover how each one shapes our worship, strengthens our faith, and transforms everyday life.

Each week begins with discussion and fellowship around eight-person tables led by table hosts, followed by teaching that explains and applies the doctrine being studied. Whether you are new to theology or have been studying the Bible for years, this class will help you grow in your knowledge of God and love for him.

“In All Things Thee to See”: George Herbert on the Christian Life

Teacher: Caleb Johnson
Location: Worship Center 201 & 211

This class is hosted by the Senior Adults community and open to all.
George Herbert (1593–1633) is widely known as one of the greatest English lyric poets of all time, found in virtually all Western anthologies. Yet, Herbert lived out his life in relative obscurity as a pastor in the rural parish of Bemerton, England. On his deathbed (age 39), he sent his collection to a friend, asking that it be published if useful, or burned; “for I and it are less than the least of God’s mercies.” His poetry would come to be cherished by many including Richard Baxter, John Newton, William Cowper, C.S. Lewis, and countless others. On Sunday evenings, Charles Spurgeon would have his wife read him “a page or two of good George Herbert” to calm his soul. Join the seniors this fall as we take up this very tradition and read a page or two from a good country parson. For this class, we will be using the book All Things Thee to See: A Devotional Guide to Selected Poems of George Herbert.

The Biggest Story (King’s Community)

Teachers: Various
Location: Worship Center Room 107

The King’s Community is a class designed for younger to older adults 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 Jesus Christ? (Middle & High School Youth)

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

Christians hold a distinct and glorious privilege: ours is the only faith with a living and true God who reveals himself to his people. God makes himself known through his Word and through his Son, Jesus Christ. Knowing about God and knowing God means knowing Jesus: God who walked with, talked with, and lives with us. Our series this fall will explore the person and ministry of Jesus Christ. 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.
