SHAPE Class
October 6, 13, and 20
River City Christian believes that God has blessed every member of the body of Christ with unique spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences (your SHAPE). When understood and used correctly, your SHAPE will bring glory to Jesus and have an impact on the kingdom of God. And here’s an added blessing: when we grasp how God has wired us and determine to use our SHAPE to serve Him and others, we find great fulfillment and experience spiritual growth.
Location: Room 215
Time: 12:45-3:30 p.m.
Biblical Worldview Class (Part 1)

Everyone has a worldview. But what does it mean to have a biblical worldview? With the extensive marketplace of ideas and philosophies in our culture today, it is important for every believer to be equipped with biblical responses to human opinions. The Biblical Worldview Equipping Class will help participants be aware of the competing worldviews around them while discovering how to see contemporary issues through the lens of Scripture. This class will lead into part two of the Biblical Worldview Class that will be taught in the winter. You don’t want to miss it!

Perspectives
January 5 – April 27, 2025| 1:30-4:30 p.m.
Perspectives is a fifteen-lesson education course exploring different aspects of God’s global purpose in a multifaceted learning experience. The course examines the story of God fulfilling His promises from four vantage points or “perspectives” — Biblical, Historical, Cultural, and Strategic. The Biblical and Historical sections establish the foundation of our confidence in the historic fact of God’s persistent work to make His name known to the nations from the dawn of history until today. The Cultural and Strategic sections highlight that we are in the midst of a costly but very “do-able” task. These sections confirm the Biblical and Historical hope we have with the invitation to collaborate with God in His mission. You have an integral role to play in God’s story. He delights when His people respond to His invitation to be a blessing to all the peoples of the earth.
Location: Room 200
Cost: $295 | The cost of books is not included in the registration. You’ll receive a link to purchase them upon registration.
