Discovery is a safe zone for anyone who simply wants to learn more. It’s for committed Christians, curious skeptics, and anyone in between. The next 6-week session begins Sunday, January 9th, at 10:45 am.

Bruce Bickel, a member of our church and an author of a number of books about the Christian faith, will lead the class with the help of Tom Regan, our Young Adult pastor. They won’t be defensive, judgmental, or confrontational. They want everyone who comes to Discovery to feel free to bring their questions and doubts about Christianity, as well as their friends who have them, too. The goal is to help bring clarity to what Christianity teaches and help provide answers to pressing, relevant questions.

Here are the types of questions that you, or friends of yours, might be asking that Discovery will be addressing:

• What makes Christianity unique among other faiths?  Do the differences really matter?
• Is it possible to be a Christian without all of the religious baggage?
• Why do so many Christians come across as offensive in matters of faith?
• Is the Bible reliable? What if I think it’s trumped by science?
• If “God is love,” then why is there so much suffering in the world?
• What if I can accept some parts of Christianity, but disagree with (or have serious doubts about) other parts?
• Who did Jesus claim to be? Was he really who he said he was?

The subjects covered each week will vary, but it’s not a problem if you can’t attend every class session.  Each week’s discussion is not dependent on what was covered previously. The class will meet for six Sundays in a row at 10:45 am in Room 212/213, starting Sunday, January 9th. Coffee and refreshments will be provided.

So, come and check out Discovery. We trust you will find it enjoyable, informative, and—knowing Bruce—quite humorous. And if you know others who would benefit from this please invite them, too.
