The adult spiritual formation series, Faith Baseball is offered in February and October and is a series of four courses which build on each other and can be thought of as similar to a baseball diamond. First base - “Knowing Christ” This informal discussion class, taught by Pastor Scott, will cover the basics of the Christian Faith, Lutheran theology and the history and vision of Immanuel. This is for those considering baptism, membership at Immanuel and for those long time members that want to review the basics. Second base -“Growing in Christ” This course is for those who have completed the previous class and want to continue to grow as a disciple and grow in spiritual maturity. This course will cover the four spiritual habits of spending time in God's Word, prayer, tithing and fellowship. Third base -“Serving Christ” This course is for those who have completed Second Base and who would like to explore God's purpose for their life and the way God has uniquely shaped them for ministry. Home Plate - “Sharing Christ” This class is for those who have completed all of the previous classes and want to discover their life mission of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to a hurting world. This course will help people to claim their own story of how they came to a living relationship with Jesus and how to effectively share Christ. All four classes are five weeks in length and meet on Sunday afternoons from 4:00 - 5:30 pm. For more information, please contact the church office at 503-981-1036. |
