WHAT ARE DISCOVER CLASSES?
We offer classes that help you discover the core beliefs and practices of the Christian life so that no matter where you are spiritually, you can grow.
Each Discover Class is a little different, designed to help you in a specific area of spiritual growth. Some classes are one-time meetings, like Discover Baptism and Discover Membership. Others meet multiple times, including Discover Christianity and Discover Christian Living. And others, like Discover Lakeshore and Discover Your Purpose, are offered online.
