Pastor Brent Cunningham & Dr. Steve Hoke, VP for People Development for Church Resource Ministries, (contact us @ contactus@timberlinechurch.org)
Start Date: Sun., Jan. 11, 2009
Description:
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, come and explore the essential elements of God’s story in the Bible as we ask the critical questions of how to live as a disciple of Jesus in our own culture. We will seek to be a grace-filled learning community where it is safe to ask questions and not know all the answers. We will be using the highly readable book, A Handbook of the Christian Faith by John Schwarz.
While our primary goal in this class is for each of us to get into the Bible, we’re excited for everyone to get a hold of this book by John Schwarz. It’s an easy-to-read handbook which offers a fantastic guide to the Christian faith, accomplishing its subtitle well: “What you need to know about [the faith’s] Scriptures, its history, its beliefs and practices, and what distinguishes it from other religions.”
