    NEW SERIES BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 11TH

    Lunch Room Theology

    Dr. Heather Gorman & Rev. Mark Nelson, Johnson University

    In a world fraught with polarization and division—where we form separate tables based on political beliefs, skin color, economic status, theological ideas, and personal preferences—can we find a way to live differently, more aligned with the ways of Jesus?

    Drawing extensively from the life of Jesus and the practices of his early followers, this class will attempt to propose a better way to live in the lunchroom—a more generous and beautiful way.  Presenting the challenge to embody Jesus’ John 17 prayer for oneness and to think faithfully and creatively about how to push tables together in our fractured world.


    Group Leaders: Greg Schloesser, gschloesser@gmail.com & Chad Morris, chad@jeffcitychurch.com

  • Men's Bible Study

    CURRENT STUDY: NOT A FAN; By: Kyle Idleman

    Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus.
