  • NURTURING FAITH

    Dates: Sundays, May 31 - July 5, 2026

    Time & Location: 10:30-11:30 AM in the Lecture Hall. Led by John Stichman.

    Purpose of class: To increase believers’ knowledge of Christian Faith, what it is and how it can be developed and nurtured. This supports Faith’s long-time Vision Statement, which contains: “Among us God is worshipped and glorified, faith is nurtured, and the abundant life is empowered.”

    Over our lifetimes, our Christian Faith can be developed and nurtured, can remain rather stagnant, or it can even decline or be displaced. Psychologists have studied how faith is fundamental to our human existence and how it develops. The Bible encourages us to increase our faith, and we will examine how several of the Christian disciplines cooperate with our faith to increase it and to make it more robust.

    Resources: The Holy Bible, numerous book excerpts and articles

Past Classes

  • Bringing Global Missions Home

    This class was not recorded for later viewing.

    For many, the idea of global mission seems suited only for a select few, only the young, or might be something we might do ”someday, when there is enough time, money, etc.” But what if global missions can actually happen in your own home and in our home congregation today?

    For the last 20 years, Pastor David & Angela Breidenbach have been doing global missions ministry with Spiritual Orphans Network and have learned that missions is not something we do “over there'“; rather, connecting spiritual orphans to the global family of Christ is something that begins, first and foremost, in our own homes.

    Spring 2025

    Our class Youtube Playlist can be found here.

    Often the Kingdom of God is thought of strictly as something to come in the End Times or as we go to Heaven. Jesus taught a fuller meaning of the Kingdom of God, not only as something to come, but also something in the here and now. This class examines how the Old Testament prophecies, Jesus' life, teachings, and sacrifice, on through to the writings of Luther and later commentators relate to our understanding of God's Kingdom.
