And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians" (Acts 11:26). The Church didn't call themselves that. The people of Antioch did. Why? What did they do? How were they unique? Join us for Anticipating Antioch, an 8-week class designed to awaken our hearts to the prophetic call on Christian Fellowship to be an Antioch church. We'll look at what Scripture has to say about God's heart for oneness in Dr. Derwin Gray's Building a Multiethnic Church while learning from others' lived experiences and exploring race and Christianity. Think of your favorite authors, pastors, and teachers. Have you ever learned from a person of color? Come learn to see the Scriptures in a new light, understand historical patterns, and learn to act in a way that ushers in a greater sense of intimacy, unity, and oneness that Jesus prayed we'd experience.

What does it mean to be created female? Is femininity more than the stereotypes we're subjected to? What does it mean that Jesus redeemed women as well as men? And what exactly has he redeemed?

In this cfWomen class, Pastor Beth will lead us through an exploration of what it means to be created female and to bear a feminine soul. Using "Ruby Slippers" as a guide, we'll dig into our stories, what has created our stereotypes of femininity, and what myths God wants to bust as it relates to our identity and roles as a woman of God. This experience will be more than a class and more than a book discussion. My hope is that it will be a transformative experience that grounds you in your identity in Christ.
