Class Descriptions

Main Sessions


The Way to Peace
Cheree Hayes

When Jesus introduced Himself as the only way to the Father’s house in John chapter 14, He commanded His disciples to not let their hearts be troubled. Jesus knows that our hearts must be freed from anxiety’s habits in order to experience His habitation of peace. We agree with this logic but how do we actually heed this command and not allow our hearts to be overcome with troubles? In this main session, we will learn practical life-changing keys to living free from anxiety so we can embrace the overcoming peace Jesus prepared for us to live in today.

The Language of the Kingdom
Terri Cowley

Our words are powerful. They have the ability to reveal hearts and the power to expand the kingdom of their origination. This is a study on aligning our hearts and our language in our prayers and beyond with God’s kingdom.

Workshop Tracks


Introduction to Sonship

Sonship studies are facilitated, interactive groups which gather to explore the implications of living as sons of God.

This breakout session will explore the implications of discipleship that addresses learning from the heart.

Listening Corporately (2 sessions)
Jody Mayhew

This workshop will require two sessions.  I will share keys for prayer in corporate gatherings.  We will learn how to listen together and be led as the Body of Christ. I will share a variety of ways we can bring our hearts together to hear, and we  will practice some of these exercises during our time together.

Pause … and Confess
Judy Glanz

Confessions include more than admitting to sin and mistakes in search of forgiveness of God and others.

Beginning to Discern the Holy Spirit’s Voice
Cheree Hayes

We know that the Lord spoke to people like Moses, King David, and the Apostle Paul. But does the Lord still speak today? If so, who does He talk to, how does He speak, and how can we be sure it is Him? In this beginners course, we will learn to approach life in Christ as a dynamic dialogue with His Spirit of truth and His Holy Scriptures.

Advancing to Discern the Holy Spirit’s Voice
Cheree Hayes

Are you a dreamer? Do you see moving pictures in prayer? Do you often perceive past, present or future events with a heavenly insight that proves to impact others? Do you desire to have any of these spiritual abilities? All of His sheep hear the Good Shepherd’s voice but if you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, you might have an additional prophetic gift that needs to be discovered, developed, and stewarded wisely. In this course, we will learn how to grow in discernment, avoid perilous pitfalls, and advance to build up the church in love.

How to Make Disciples

Our Lord commanded us to make disciples but many of us make excuses instead. In this course, we will address hindrances to our obedience, learn how to overcome, and begin to embrace the practical process of disciple-making with love and wisdom.

Confessions
