Foundations
When it comes to exploring faith, it’s natural to have questions. Unfortunately, church is sometimes the last place you want to bring those questions. We’d like to change that.
You’re invited to join the conversation in Foundations. We provide a safe place for people just like you to explore faith through Foundations. This eight-week group experience is facilitated by leaders who have been where you are, wrestled with their own faith questions, and understand the value of creating a safe, judgment-free environment for you to explore faith. We invite new believers, believers who need a refresh or unbelievers.

He Gets Us
Jesus understands our lives because he was human too. He faced the same hardships and personal struggles that we encounter on a daily basis. He felt our deepest sadness and experienced our darkest solitude. Above all, Jesus gets us.
In Jesus’ time, communities were deeply divided by bitter differences in religious beliefs, political positions, income inequality, legal status, and ethnic differences. But where was Jesus in all of this? Did he align with the religious elites? Or did he start an uprising to overthrow them? Neither of the above.
Instead, he went from town to town, offering hope, new life, and modeling a different way to live and to change the world. Instead of pursuing power, money, or religious authority, he shared a loving and sacrificially generous way of living–He championed a better way. But how can we understand the Jesus of the Bible today?
Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, seeking answers to life’s difficult questions, or looking for a deeper
relationship with Jesus, He Gets Us will be your guide every step of the way.

Finding Peace
In times of crisis and confusion, Dr. Charles Stanley has learned the one phrase that can carry him through: “God, You are in control.” The peace he has experienced in life stems from that foundational belief. In Finding Peace, Dr. Stanley shares with readers how they, too, can experience an unshakeable peace which “passes all understanding.”
Filled with encouragement to lift the soul, Finding Peace offers insight on what causes us to live without God’s peace in our lives, and how we can reverse course and open our hearts to receive it. Also, Stanley gives his perspective on the things that hinder peace-including the “Four Great Hallmarks of God’s Peace” and “Five Essential Beliefs for a Peaceful Heart”-to put the important message of this book into concrete terms. Addressing regret, anxiety, and fear, Dr. Stanley extends hope for overcoming the obstacles that block peace with the Lord. Finally, he gives direction on learning to live a life of contentment.

When We Pray
If you want to know the temperature of your spiritual life, look at the thermostat setting on your prayer life. Prayer is the most misunderstood and neglected aspect of the Christian life. It has been estimated that most Christians pray three to five minutes a day. Compare that to the time many spend complaining, and you’ll gain insight into the spiritual and emotional condition of our day. Yet God has constructed the world in such a way that there is much He won’t do in a Christian’s life apart from prayer.
Prayer, when combined with faith, can accomplish great things as noted in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “if my people, who are called
by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Level: Beginner/Intermediate
Who Is the Holy Spirit?
In The Power of The Holy Spirit’s Names, bestselling author and pastor Dr. Tony Evans examines 12 of the Spirit’s most
significant titles and what they reveal about this powerful, present, and personal expression of the triune God. As you read,
you’ll gain eye-opening insights into how the Spirit moves within the hearts of believers while learning how His indwelling of
you shapes your unique faith.
As we grow in our ability to love, revere, and relate to the person of the Holy Spirit, we also grow in our capacity to
experience God. This book will help you internalize profound truths about the Holy Spirit’s character and transform how you
understand the Trinity.

Life Lessons From Hebrews
The Jewish believers were torn between their new faith in Jesus and their old ways rooted in Old Testament routines and rituals. They were tempted to go back to their familiar life that seemed “good enough.” But the author of Hebrews shows that when Jesus came, “the best got better.”
The unknown author of Hebrews skillfully compares these believers’ old ways and their new faith, arguing that Christ is
better in every way. He focuses on Jesus, His effective ministry, and His ultimate sacrifice, showing us that absolutely nothing compares to our Incomparable Christ.
As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of Hebrews, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:
- Jesus Christ brought about a whole new way of connecting with and following God.
- Jesus is our compassionate high priest.
- Faith is the connector between this life and the next.

Life Lessons From Thessalonians
The church in Thessalonica was a study in contrast. They had been a quiet and holy people. But after a while, they had
become restless and impatient. They needed direction on how to live. So Paul wrote the young church two letters. The first commended the believers for their faith and encouraged them to continue living according to the gospel principles he had taught. The second letter was filled with helpful hints that corrected their wrong beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors.
Whether we are living a quiet and holy life or one that leaves us restless and impatient, Paul’s letters encourage us. They challenge us to remain faithful in a temporary world. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, watch for these key themes that Max Lucado will unpack throughout the book:
- We should live in preparation for Christ’s return.
- God wants holy and pure worship.
- The time of Christ’s return will be unpredictable.
- How we live our everyday lives, matters.

Marriage Transformation
Marriage is God’s idea and God’s institution. The good news is no one wants healthier and thriving marriages more than God! The other news is that life happens, people get hurt, don’t forgive, take shots, lose hope and the marriage bears the weight of life’s pressures. This course is designed to help married couples take their relationship to the next level. This course addresses issues of sexual and emotional intimacy, weathering the storms and fighting fair, household financial management, and so much more. This course is open to engaged and married couples.

The Armor of God
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage,
your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny.
But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.
The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
