Whether you are a parent, student, teacher, or employee, these classes serve to equip you to handle life and interact with the world in a biblically informed way.
Classes are held on Mondays from 6:30pm-8:00pm in The Commons. We will be studying key principles for interpreting and applying various genres of Scripture including narrative, poetry, prophecy, etc. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Otto at skoog@cside.org.
