Journey to Christmas Class
Beginning September 21
Mondays | 6:30pm
Christmas is a story most of us know, but there’s so much more to discover beneath the surface. In this 10-week class, we’ll explore the people, promises, history, and events that led to the birth of Jesus and see how God was at work long before that first Christmas night. Whether you’re exploring faith, looking for answers, or have been following Jesus for years, this class offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of Scripture and grow in your appreciation for God’s plan of redemption. We hope that you’ll come away with a greater sense of wonder, gratitude, and confidence in the story of Christmas. Open to high school students and adults. Sign up HERE or at the Grouplife Counter.
