SHAPE Class
September 24 – October 29
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.

Biblical Worldview Class

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.
