Doubts & Doctrines (from 2024)
In this 7 week class, we raised and considered some of the most often-discussed hard questions about the Christian faith that lead many to difficult doubts. It was an intentional and deep time discussing deconstruction processes that result from periods of theological wrestling. And for each tough question, we looked at a segment of orthodox, systematic theology that provided answers and a thorough response (e.g. doctrines of salvation, sin, humanity, the church, future things, etc.).

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality & Relationships
The Emotionally Healthy Spirituality course explores how we can bring greater emotional depth and maturity into our relationship with God, setting the table for deeper and healthier relationships with others. The format will be a combination of video content and live teaching paired with time in discussion groups processing together.
12 total sessions will be held on Monday evenings at Parkway from 7:00-8:30pm starting Feb. 3rd and running until May 12th. (We will not meet 2/17, 3/24, 4/21.) The only cost for the course is the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Course Participant’s Pack (Expanded Edition) which you need to purchase for yourself ahead of time.
