During the Week, Special Events and Year Long Classes 2012
Run for God Tuesdays, April 9 - July 6 ending with the Cherry Festival 5 K race 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. Church Lounge Leaders: Ann Porter, Matt Johnston, Denise Edick and Emily Taphouse
This program is designed for all levels of runners, even those who have never run before. Participate in the program to learn about the parallels in enduring a sport like running and enduring your faith. It should be a great balance of fellowship, devotion and physical exercise. Plus, you get a cool t-shirt! We will finish by running the Cherry Festival 5K together on July 6. This year we are extending the invitation to walkers. Someone from the Health Ministries will be helping out.
Year Long Classes
Men’s Room
Every other Thursday
7:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Chapel
Leaders: Pastor Chris and Bruce Falconer
Central has a men's discussion group open to all men, called simply The Men's Room. We meet for an hour on Thursday evenings. Join our lively discussions on what it means to be a man seeking to have a Christ like character. If you are open to explore a deeper faith life, alongside other men, please join us.
Disciple Bible Studies
The Disciple Bible Study program is designed to develop strong local churches through the in-depth study of Scripture. Through Disciple, people are strengthened in their faith and guided into service and ministry. Disciple classes are frequently life changing events for those who participate. Though the commitment is big, the return is even bigger. Please give this some thought and prayer. There are many people in our church who have already taken the Disciple classes and will attest to the value of the experience. Please contact Alline or call 946-5191 with questions and/or to sign up for a Disciple class. Disciple I Online There are several options for this online Disciple I experience. Please go to Be a Disciple Website for more information. This experience will allow you to participate in the Disciple 1 class with a group of other people from around the state, or country, in an online environment. Hopefully this class will be a blessing to those who travel or have a schedule that does not allow them to participate weekly in a class at church. Some people have found they really enjoy online learning opportunities, and maybe this will seem like a good option for you. Disciple I Class
No offerings at this time
This 34 week in-depth study gives equal time to the Old and New Testaments and emphasizes the wholeness of the Bible as the revelation of God. Come away from this class with a deeper understanding of scripture, the history of our religion and your own faith. Though the commitment is big, you just have to talk with someone who has been through Disciple I to know it is well worth the time you give.
Disciple II Class
No offerings at this time Disciple II Into the Word Into The World is a 32 week in-depth study of the Bible open to all those who have finished Disciple I. Through a study of Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts, participants will use their study Bibles and a resource library to gain a deeper understanding of scripture that emphasizes practice of the spiritual disciplines and equips for ministry in the world. Disciple III Class
No offerings at this time This 32 week study helps participants find the connection between memory and identity as the people of God. The first half of the class focuses on the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, studying through the prophets. The second half of the class focuses on the New Testament, studying through the Letters of Paul. This class is open to everyone who has completed Disciple I. You do not necessarily have to take Disciple II, III and IV in chronological order.
