Life development courses are aimed at four areas of our life where instruction is beneficial along the journey.

These four areas are:

1) Biblical Teaching - Although all of the courses are based on Biblical truth and principles, this area is expositional teaching on specific books or sections of scripture. This includes background history and culture, current understanding, and life application.

2) Personal Development/Discovery - As we look at our personal life and experiences in light of scripture we are transformed to become more like Christ.

3) Fundamentals of Christian Life and Discipleship - The disciples walked with Jesus for 3 years as he taught them, what it means to be a servant of God. This area is focused on the basics of what it means to be a Christian.

4) Life Stages - There are many different life stages we go through, from being single, to newly weds, to having children, empty nesters, retirement… This area focuses in on one of these areas specifically looks at how too’s. How too be better, glorify God, …

There will be 3 full sessions a year and one partial session during the summer months. The three full sessions will run for 6 weeks and contain at least one course from each of the areas listed above. The summer session will only have one or two courses and we will work to alternate the areas in subsequent years.

The next session begins February 1, 2012.

Course Description: Everyday fears and worries can steal our joy and peace and distract us from God’s blessings and opportunities. This class will help you acknowledge who you are in Christ and stand on the promises that deliver us from fear and worry.

Our theme verse for the course is from Joshua 1:7 “Be strong and courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.” We will be using the book: “Victory Over the Darkness, Realizing the Power of Your Identity in Christ” by Neil T. Anderson. Our in focus bible study will be on Joshua chapters 1-6. Please bring your bible, a pen and an open heart!
