Optional Monday Evening Classes
Christianity Explored (English). This is an informal course for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity. The class examines the book of Mark in the Bible to explore the identity, mission and call of Jesus. We will respect your background, culture and beliefs. All are welcome.
Gospel of Mark (Chinese). In this class, we want to learn from the Gospel of Mark who Jesus is. As we study this Gospel together, we will discover how Mark presents Jesus through His life, teaching, miracles, death, and resurrection. Whether you are already familiar with Christianity or are simply curious, you are warmly invited to explore these stories, ask honest questions, and consider for yourself what they reveal about Jesus.
Optional Wednesday Evening Class
Gospel of Mark (Korean). This class will explore the Gospel of Mark with a focus on who Jesus is. Mark presents Jesus as the Son of God, the promised Messiah, and the suffering Servant who gave His life as a ransom for many. Through His life, teaching, miracles, death, and resurrection, we will see the heart of the gospel more clearly. As we study Mark together, our prayer is that we will deepen our understanding of God’s Word, grow in our love for Jesus Christ, and be strengthened to follow Him more faithfully in our daily lives. Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30pm, childcare provided
(dinner available at 5:30pm).
