Pandemics, political unrest, persecution, racial and ethnic tensions, and an immoral and ungodly society are nothing new for Christians. Come join us as we investigate how the early church began and how she responded to these issues. The wisdom of our spiritual ancestors is invaluable for the church today as we navigate through similar circumstances.

One Day Micro-Course: Christian Liberty in 2020
Pastor Mike Hixson
6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Monday, October 12
Cost: Free
Course Description
In Ephesians 4:3, we are told “to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” For many of us, the year 2020 has been a great challenge to that command. Join us for one evening as we dive into the theology, philosophy, and practice of love in Christian liberty when we interact with Christians who view today’s issues differently from us.
