This is a 6-session DVD Small Group Study that provides biblical insight into Islamic history and Muslim beliefs, while providing useful next steps and stories that help you put the teaching into practice. You will learn how to take similar concepts in Christianity and Islam and create a “bridge” to build relationships with the Muslims in your community. The material is also valuable to those seeking to build on what they already know about Muslims. Please sign up through the “Current Event” section of the website.

“The Holy Spirit” - The Fireside Room – 11:15 – 9/27, 10/4 & 10/11
Genie? Force? Angel or Spirit? Life in the Kingdom of God depends on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. But few Christians today understand who the Spirit is and what he does in the lives of believers. In this three week unit we take a look at who or what the Spirit that Christ promised to send is and how the lives of believers are never the same once they have encountered Him. Led by Marcus Smith.
