Throughout our history, American pastors and churches have played a vital role in the establishment and preservation of religious and civil liberty. Being "Salt & Light" requires knowledge of the culture we are attempting to preserve and influence as we fulfill the Great Commission and "make disciples of all nations". This 16-Week video course includes commentary from many notable pastors, constitutional experts, and founding era historians. Each week, we'll begin with an introduction to the week's class and then take a journey through the Bible & American history to rediscover the eternal principles that produces a prosperous society when Biblical principles are applied.

This group will explore the significance of God's self revelation of his name. Through the study of scripture and drawing from the book "God Has a Name" by John Mark Comer, we will explore the rich, transformative power of God's revealed name. In this group we will dive deep into Scripture, unpacking the significance of God's name in both the Old and New Testaments. Through engaging discussions, reflection, and personal application, you'll deepen your relationship with God, discover His character in new ways, and grow in your faith. Together, we will encounter God who is close, holy, loving, and transformative!

As believers we know that we are fighting a war, picking up our cross daily, and choosing to be set apart. We have power and authority from God — often going completely unused — that helps us wage war as daughters of the King. This group is for women who want to learn about, grow in, and walk out their God-given power and authority.

"It's All About Jesus" Near the beginning of His public ministry, Jesus challenged His followers to "search the scriptures...for they testify of Me" (John 5:39). As we journey through these pages of the Bible, we will find Jesus, and in finding Him, we will find eternal and abundant life. This semester, we will start part II with the Book of Esther. A study sheet of Genesis through Nehemiah will be provided for those that did not participate in Part I.

The book of Ephesians offers much in terms of doctrine critical to our faith but also provides ways in which to practically apply that doctrine to our daily lives. This letter to the Church in Ephesus is rich in detail and addresses a broad range of topics; some of which are rarely discussed. Because of that, we will take a slow, methodical walk through the scriptures, including taking the time to have open, honest and fruitful conversation.

This small group will study verse by verse the letters of 1 John, 2 John, and 3 John. Together, we will explore the heartfelt message the Apostle John shared with early believers about living in truth, love, and obedience. These short but powerful letters offer timeless wisdom on how to recognize false teaching, walk in the light, and live as children of God. What does it mean to truly know Jesus? How does God's love shape our relationships? How can we remain faithful in a world full of deception? Join us as we discover the rich encouragement and spiritual clarity John offers to help believers live confidently and righteously through the love of Christ.

In our everyday chaos, it can be difficult to live out and apply the truths of Scripture. We want more of Jesus, but we find ourselves looking to our own lives and accomplishments for our worth and identity. And while that may buoy us for a time, we're often left feeling dried up, discouraged, and longing for more. We'll be joining Gretchen Saffles to the Well of fullness, the Word of freedom, and the Way of fruitfulness as we delve into God's Word to live a life that thoroughly enjoys Him, seeks Him, and follows Him into freedom.
