Sunday School
Feb
22

Sunday School

Want to learn more? How about going to school on a Sunday! We will be offering a choice of different four week classes from 9-9:50AM on Feb 1, 8, 15, & 22. The classes will be instruction-centered (instead of discussion-centered) and childcare will be available. Sign up here!

This winter's classes are:

  • On Being Protestant (taught by Joel Waymack) Have you ever wondered why Roman Catholics go to confession? Or why Eastern Orthodox churches have walls covered in images of saints? In this class, we're going to look at the three major traditions within Christianity: Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. We'll dive into aspects of how they are the same, how they differ, and why Refuge is a Protestant church. 

  • Christianity and Contemporary Culture (taught by Joel Keen) - Polarization. Protest. Pleas for peace. Profits. Pursuits. Plans. It's all so confusing. Add to it how to bring a Christian perspective and response to it, and it starts to feel hopeless. So how is a Christian supposed to respond to contemporary culture? Should we hide away? Become militant against it? Quietly go along to get along? Or is there another option? This class explores how Christianity truly changes our approach to contemporary issues, giving us a perspective that enables us to engage and bring transformations in small and big ways.
