CHURCH. What is it? Where God meets you. What is God inviting you to?

Being a part of a church is important in any Christian’s life.  It is vital to your spiritual health, and is God’s way of nurturing you in your faith.  Your attendance is only the beginning to being a part of the church.  This elective will deep dive past attendance, and into what God’s design is for His church, how it should function, and how that will affect you in your faith.

Loneliness. Are relationships really that important?

In a world of connection, many people are more lonely now than ever before. In this elective the leader will address the plague of loneliness by focusing on the reasons such loneliness is so prevalent in our culture of “connection” and some of the consequences of living this way. In addition, the leader will point to the fundamental value of relationship, both with God and others (especially Christians).

Race. What does the Bible say about race? 

Racism is a hot topic in our culture today. So, how should Christians think about this? What does the Bible say about this? In this elective, the leader will show that, although there are many different races in the world, there are far more similarities than first meets the eye; the most important being that we are made in the image of God and Christ died for us all. Therefore, as a result of God’s work of creation and recreation, the leader will point out there is no place for racism in a Christian worldview. The leader may also work to show students ways of addressing and talking about race with their friends and family.
