9:00 am (9/21-11/23) // Evangelical Convictions
What is the difference between God and “the force?” Why is it necessary to believe in the Trinity? Is Jesus a good role model or something more? As a Christian, how is one to relate to the world? Do these questions intrigue you? Would you like to have a better grasp of the essential beliefs of the Christian faith? Please join us beginning on Sept 21 for a ten-week series on the book Evangelical Convictions. This book, and accompanying videos, explain in clear terms the core beliefs in the EFCA, which Salem is a part of. Using a participatory and engaging style, Mark Strand and Kyle Hellevang will co-lead this class. The class will meet at 9:00 am, in room 16, from Sept 21 to Nov 23. Even if you are unable to attend every session, you are welcome to join us to study God’s Word together.

9:00 Am (11/2-11/23) // Discover you
Did you realize that God has wired you uniquely? You truly are in a seven-billion-way tie for his favorite child! He has also gifted you with different spiritual gifts, passions, abilities, personalities and experiences to do what only you can do. We want to help you discover those and how God might want to use you for His glory on the road wherever you live, work, study and play. This class is for anyone who wants to discover more about who God made them to be or is at a pivot point in their life where they are trying to figure out what is next.
Registration is required for this course. Cost is $20/person. Materials include the Clifton Strengths inventory, a Spiritual Gifts assessment, and the Discover You class workbook.

Discover the heart of biblical prayer through the rich and honest expressions found in the Book of Psalms.

Each week the class will involve looking at a Psalm, sharing insights, and spending time in prayer.
