How the former Garnett Road Church of Christ in Tulsa, OK is continuing The Journey after 50 years

Craig Young 

Craig will combine over 25 years of personal mission experience in Marseille, France with his specific doctoral research to share what God is doing among Muslims in his corner of the Mediterranean rim. As Muslims immigrate to the West in record numbers, hear and be encouraged by some real life examples of love in response to one of the most pressing missional needs of our time. Consider what a dwelling place full of the love and peace of Christ can produce in the hearts of those born and raised in the Muslim world.

Steven Brice

With countless protests, boycotts and views being shared on social media, it appears that the church could become marginalized. Let's have a conversation on what the church needs to do on the frontline of healing racial divides.

Charles Kiser 

God is at work at the margins of society, among those many would least expect. What if we didn't have to take God with us into relationships with neighbors in poverty? What if he is already there and we simply have to discover what he's doing?

Trevor Thompson

People lie; the question is always why. In one of the most disturbing stories in the Bible, Ananias and Sapphira attempt to deceive the Spirit. The result is divine homicide. The dead couple no longer tell tales. What does this tawdry tale teach about life in communities of the Spirit?

Carrie Gotcher, Wendy Humphries, Marian Parker

Short on volunteers, kids disengaged, parents not interested, shallow curriculum? Carrie Gotcher, Marian Parker and Wendy Humphries will share their experiences teaching children using the rotation model and how it has brought life to their ministry.

There are many striking parallels between the days of Solomon and our own time in history. Solomon inherited impressive wealth and power from his father, but he also inherited a vibrant faith. Sadly, the kingdom and the faith that he passed on to his own son were not nearly so healthy. This class will open a conversation on confronting the challenges we face as we strive to faithfully pass on the inheritance we have received.

Wilson McCoy

Many are concerned about the future of the church. However, over the last eight years of working with young adults my hope for the next generation of faith has grown deeper and wider. In this class I want to share some lessons learned, mistakes made, and lingering questions about this important generation in the life of our churches.
