Pre-Marital class—This class
is taught by various couples of FBC who give insight into common concerns in
marriage. They address such issues as a Christian view of marriage, finances,
conflict resolution, communication, living and working, extended family issues,
spiritual growth in marriage and more.
Any couple considering marriage is invited to attend. This class meets in
Mike Olmstead’s office.
Spiritual Gifts—Did you know that every believer is given spiritual gifts? What are these gifts? How do we find out what our gifts are? Where might they be used for the benefit of the body of Christ here at FBC and in our community? What attitudes can hinder our exercise of the gifts God has given us? What attitudes and actions will help us use these gifts? We will be seeking answers to these questions and more as we look at this exciting topic for several weeks this summer. This class will meet in the Chapel and is taught by Pastor Mike Olmstead. Class begins June 15th.

Ephesians—this book in the New
Testament covers both God’s mercy and grace towards us in Christ and notes
several of the blessings God has granted believers in Christ Jesus. It also
describes how we are to respond and behave in response to what God has done for
us—in our marriage, as parents, as employees, employers, and as citizens in the
public square. This is a great book
that exudes the mercy and grace of God towards us in Jesus and challenges us to
let it transform our everyday lives. This class is taught by Chris Misener
and meets in Room 251.
GriefShare-It may be hard for
you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse,
child, family member or friend, you’ve probably found that there are not many
people who understand the deep hurt you feel. This class is for people grieving
the loss of someone close. This group is sponsored by people who understand what
you are experiencing and how to offer you comfort and encouragement during this
difficult time. Each session includes a video seminar and group discussion.
This class is led by Edie and George
Lydick and meets in the Chapel.
