When Helping Hurts – based on a paradigm-forming book regarding poverty alleviation and ministry to those in need. Emphasizing the poverty of heart and society, this book exposes the need that every person has and how it can be filled. Poverty is much more than simply a lack of financial or material resources and it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve the problem. Taught by Deacon Jim Neice

Sanctification and Christian Practices – Christian practices are the ways by which we live the Christian life and deepen our relationship with God. Each practice addresses a basic human need, and is something we learn from and do together with other people. Participating in these historic Christian practices is a way of responding to the Father’s grace towards us in Christ.  Taught by Pastor Tim Carroll
