The Gospel-Centered Life
2025-01-12 09:00 - 09:45 | Killeen Hall
The gospel of Jesus can transform every part of your life, including work. The ten lessons in this small group study will guide you in building a bridge from your personal faith to your work. Each lesson will help you see how Jesus’ work for you applies to and transforms the difficulties and drudgery of the daily grind. Each lesson is self-contained, featuring clear teaching from Scripture, and requires no extra work outside of the group setting. Hear from fellow parishioners about how they embody a Christ-like image at their workplaces. Follow along with The Gospel-Centered Life at Work by Robert Alexander.
Class FAQ
* Do I need to buy the book?
This is up to you! While the book will complement and supplement the time we spend together on Sundays, it is in no way required. Our Sunday discussions are meant to be the bread and butter of this course. Don’t let
* What if I can’t come every week?
Come when you can! While the lessons will build on one another, they do standalone and you will get a lot out of each segment.
* The book says gospel-centered life at work, but I don’t work outside the house / am retired / work part-time. Is this for me?
Absolutely! This is an inclusive curriculum designed for folks in all lines of work, including service industry, professional, executive, freelance etc. Those who are retired or don’t work outside the home will find practical ways to apply the lessons to their lives and the people in their orbit that they interact with on a regular basis.
* Is this book just about sharing your faith at work? I do not have a job where that is appropriate.
Not primarily! This book instead focuses on teaching us to not abandon our Christian principles outside the door and to instead conduct ourselves in such a way in the workplace where our colleagues see our God-given inner peace.

Middle School Sunday School
2025-01-12 11:30 - 12:30 | Youth Room (Downstairs)
Middle-schoolers (6-8 grade) are invited to join us from 11:30 AM–12:30 PM for weekly Christian formation in the Youth Room on the lower level.
Middle school students will become StoryMakers to express their questions, discoveries, and creativity as they explore the deep theological truths and faith in God. They will walk through the Signs of Grace—baptism and Communion—which contain the tangible means they can hang on to when all seems lost, and the Lord’s Prayer, which assures us we have been given the title of heirs—adopted into God’s kingdom and claimed as his own.
Families are asked to complete Sunday School registration form online for the year using the link below. Any questions, please contact Tyree Jordan, Director of Youth & Families.
