Adult Education

Another session of Adult Education will be starting again soon as we just finished two excellent offerings. If you would like to learn more about them or study them on your own please find more information about them here:

Learn from the Beatitudes

Life's Healing Choices, by John Baker, offers freedom from our hurts, hang-ups, and habits through eight healing choices that promise true happiness and life transformation. Using the Beatitudes of Jesus as a foundation, Senior Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church and John Baker, who is also a pastor at Saddleback, developed the eight choices shared in this book and study guide.

From Chapter One: "Part of our human nature is to refuse change until our change exceeds our fear-fear of change, that is. We simply deny the pain until it gets so bad that we are crushed and finally realize we need some help. Why don't we save ourselves a bit of misery and admit now what we're inevitably going to have to admit later? We are not God, and we desperately need God because our lives are unmanageable without Him. We'll be forced to learn that lesson someday. We may as well admit it now."

Learn to Love as Jesus Did

Jesus once said that of all the commands in the Bible two are most important: Love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself. On January 16th, our church family will begin a six-week focus on those two commands as part of our “40 Days of Love.”

With conflict, divorce, violence, prejudice, abuse, division, and polarization around us, it is obvious we all need some lessons in building healthy relationships, and that is what 40 Days of Love is all about.
