You’re invited on a journey of exploration and discovery, utilizing self-examination assessments and biblical reflection to connect the dots and answer one of life’s most sought-after questions: What’s God’s will for my life?

Level 100

Pursuing Christ: Growing Deeper Through Spiritual Disciplines

This six-week class is designed to help us deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ by intentionally practicing spiritual disciplines that draw us closer to Him. Together, we will explore prayer, worship, serving, stewardship, fasting, and learning as practical ways to pursue Christ and grow in our faith. The goal is not simply to learn about spiritual disciplines, but to develop a deeper desire for Christ and a more intentional relationship with Him. By the end of the class, participants will have practical tools and a clearer understanding of how to pursue Jesus in greater ways and move from a casual faith toward a more serious, committed walk with Christ.

The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments provide a beautiful summary of God’s law which was given for the benefit of God’s people. They are meant to guide us, to restrain us, and ultimately to lead us to Christ. They are as fresh and powerful today as they have ever been. Do you long to hear from God? To know what his heart is for your life? These commands taken together have the power to lift us out of the mire and set our feet on solid ground. As a result, we can exult with the psalmist "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I gain understanding." Psalm 119:103-104a

About the Instructor: Ken Raymond earned an M. Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1994 and later that year began pastoral ministry at Stratford Park Bible Chapel in Champaign, Illinois where he served until his retirement in the spring of 2025.

Instructor: Ken Raymond
Location: West Bend Campus Cafe
Dates: 11/4/26–12/16/26 (No Class 11/25/26)
