Here’s a brief overview of our classes this semester:

Pain, Suffering and Sadness in Light of the Cross - Brylan Gann

How do we weather pain, suffering and sadness in our lives as Christians? How do we answer the questions that plague us in the storms? How can we answer others when they ask how we have faith in light of evil and suffering around us?

Being Imitators of Christ- Rich Erdman

In this 4 week course we will work together through the ways God's Word teaches us to Imitate Christ  (1 Cor. 11: 1, Eph. 5, Phi. 1:27) living in a manner worthy of the gospel. There is hope for us all!!! We will find it together. Our main focus will be Proverbs 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 ... See you soon ... Let's Go!!!

Gospel 101 – Jacob Cibas

What is the Gospel? What seems like a simple question is often met with all kinds of answers. In this class, we will learn from the Scriptures what the good news of Jesus is by looking at the four key pillars of the Gospel message: God, Man, Christ, and Response. The goal for anyone attending Gospel 101 is to finish the class feeling confident in their understanding of the Gospel and how to explain it to someone else.

Book Club: What Does It Mean to Fear the Lord? by Michael Reeves – Fisher Furr

Book Club is a core class at Charity University designed to help our church slow down, read deeply, and grow together through rich, gospel-shaped books. This semester, we’ll walk through What Does It Mean to Fear the Lord?, a compelling exploration of what it truly means to fear God: not with dread but with joyful, reverent awe. Each week will blend guided discussion, biblical theology, and thoughtful application as we consider how a right fear of the Lord transforms our worship, obedience, and daily lives. Whether you’re new to theology or well-seasoned in it, this class aims to deepen your delight in God and anchor your faith in a broader, more beautiful vision of who He is.
