Important Notes

Prerequisites: This class assumes participation in the Adult Sunday Studies "Total Christ" class. It is very important that you attend or listen to the recording and get the handouts. This class will be assuming that material and building on top of it. This class also assumes much of the "What We Believe" class, which is our core beliefs class.
