FALL 2024 LIFE GROUPS

The After Party

The After Party is a class designed to help us move towards better Christian politics. We’ll use a video curriculum and a group discussion led by Keith Johnson. Be equipped & encouraged to do the hard work of engaging across differences, reframing our political identity in light of the Gospel, and focusing our hearts & minds on the “how” of relating to each other before the “what” of political opinions.

• Thurs. at 10am | LCC Rm 202 (starts Sept. 19) Contact Keith Johnson (406)461-9491

Applying Grace in our Parenting

Whether we are reacting to our parents, planning to be parents, overwhelmed at being parents, or learning to stand with our kids as they parent, we need to know there is a way home. A way to be convinced God is present and working in every stage of our family. It begins with us, the parents, and will involve learning to apply grace and cultivate trust with our children.

This group will meet eight or nine times to explore these topics using the Bible and the book, The Cure & Parents, as a guide. We will discuss the book and how it reflects the biblical narrative of grace and how it connects to our present stage of life as parents.

Leadership for Life

This leadership experience aims to develop individuals as Christian leaders for meaningful service in God’s Kingdom. We will explore leadership ideas, concepts, and theories from both Christian and non-Christian sources, all through a Christian perspective. Together, we will learn and find the key to our own leadership transformations.

The Practicing the Way Course

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said to his disciples, “follow me.” But what does it mean for us to follow Jesus today? 

The Practicing the Way Course is an introduction to spiritual formation, exploring what it means to follow Jesus and laying the foundation for a life of apprenticeship to him. The course features eight sessions of teaching via video from John Mark Comer, guided conversation, and spiritual exercises.
