Welcome to Grace U!

We believe that the local church is essential for promoting spiritual maturity and helping believers grow in their faith and become more like Christ. Grace U is comprised of seasonal courses that dive specifically into a certain topic or idea, with the idea of forming you deeper into the image of Christ.

April 19 – June 15 | 10:15-11:20AM | Room #103
Teacher: Steve Brock
Understanding God’s call on your life and figuring out what to do with your life has always been a mystery to most of us, not just when we’re young and starting out, but even later, particularly when we approach retirement. There are a lot of opinions, but what does the Bible say about it? How do we discern God’s will for our lives? And how do we learn to lean into the creativity we innately have as people created in the image of a creative God (especially if you don’t think of yourself as creative)? Finally, how does our creativity affect our calling when we feel called to roles that don’t seem creative?

April 19 – June 29 | 10:15-11:20AM | Room #101
Teacher: Lee Escobar
This course will help you master the biblical doctrines of man, sin, and salvation. In many ways, this is the heart of theology as it pertains to believers. You will learn about the biblical doctrines of the creation and nature of human beings, the origin, nature, and effects of sin, the predestination of God and his order of decrees, the blessings of justification and adoption, the saving work of Christ and of the Holy Spirit, the subjective elements of repentance and faith, and the continuing blessings of sanctification and perseverance.

April 19 – June 29 | 10:15-11:20AM | Room #100
Teacher: Kimo Jow
Materials: The Ways of the Alongsider workbook available at first class ($15) 
Alongsiders is a discussion-based Navigators curriculum designed to equip you to make disciples one conversation and one relationship at a time. Jesus commanded all believers to be and make disciples. Jesus demonstrated the “how to” by coming alongside twelve men and successfully unleashing them into the unsaved world. The Great Commission is not complicated when we know and practice the skills that strategically help another grow in their faith and have them reproduce the same in others.

April 19 – June 29 | 11:45AM-12:50PM | Room #103
Facilitator: Craig Luker
Are you ready to respond to objections against the existence of God, the reliability of the New Testament, or the resurrection of Jesus? This video-based apologetics course from J. Warner Wallace explores how to investigate these topics and more to make the case for the validity of the Biblical account.

Note: this class is a continuation of the class of the same name last quarter, but it is appropriate to attend even if you weren’t in attendance last quarter.

Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation - if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
