In this class we will explore the nuances of the cross-generational, multi-generational, and intergenerational church classifications. We will seek to establish the framework for a theology of intergeneration as well as explore what many church congregations need to consider for their long term survival. Teacher: Stacy Jones

One part of the gospel message that often flies under the radar is the topic of inheritance. In this class we will snoop around that topic a bit, looking at the history behind expressions like "inherit eternal life," "children of Abraham," "heirs of the promise," "heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ," and others that inform how we understand our identity as Christians. Teacher: Tim Willis

Teacher: Jerry Rushford

How do you preach sermons that are authentic, biblical, and culturally sensitive? Drawing from Lee’s book, Preaching God’s Grand Drama, this session explores practices of attentiveness that ground sermons in biblical theology, local context, and global realities. Teachers: Sara Barton, Ahmi Lee

How do you keep running when you are dry, parched and tired? There are lessons in the desert we will never learn while running in the park. Come take a lap with Israel to find hope among miracles, mistakes and mourning. Teacher: Jeff Walling

You will recognize the characters in these six stories; you will smile, laugh, and feel some of the grief along the way. And you will get glimpses into the varied texture of our lives—the unexpected people who bless us, the desert experiences, the need for forgiveness, the gifts along the way, the surprises of grace. Teachers: Leonard Allen, Darryl Tippens

Religion should come with a warning: promise and peril lie ahead! Some of the most beautiful stories in global history emerge from deep religious traditions. We also know the past and current horror of weaponized faith. The genius and passion of any movement remain vulnerable as faith is passed from one generation to the next, and Churches of Christ are no exception. In this session we will explore the promise, peril, genius, and passion of the American Restoration Movement and the Churches of Christ. Teacher: Don McLaughlin

(Job 14:1, Hebrews 2:14-15) A search through culture and time for the "unknown god." Teacher: Allen Wei Jang

Crafting a robust biblical youth ministry can often leave our students feeling like the stories we share are detached, useless, or not all that relevant to their current lives. In this class, we will explore 4 themes from stories in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures that can reorient our students to a deeper and more beautiful faith that draws them to better love God, love others, and love themselves. Teacher: Joel Foster

We are often told our bodies are a problem to solve or a hindrance to overcome, but there is another story. A better story. This story is one in which humans are invited to embrace our whole selves—including our minds, hearts, souls, and bodies—as created good and in God’s own image. Together, we will look at the Bible and theology to embrace a more holistic and embodied spiritual life shaped by the story of God from Genesis through the life of Christ. Teacher: Katelyn Brackney
