LIFE 201: Grow

The Bible makes it clear that it is God's will for every believer to grow up. To become spiritually mature. It is also clear that spiritual maturity doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey that we'll be engaged in for the rest of our lives. LIFE 201 – Grow, is designed to help you take the next steps in your spiritual growth. There are all kinds of habits we need to develop as we grow to spiritual maturity. In LIFE 201 we'll focus on the habits and skills that are foundational to the life of all Christians. Will you come out of this class spiritually mature? No way! But you'll have the practical knowledge to get started on the journey, as well as an idea of what tools and resources are available to help you along the way.

So if you're ready to hit the road to spiritual maturity, join us for Class 201 and learn the practical action steps and everyday habits that will keep you growing for the rest of your life!
 

LIFE 301: Serve

At the Heart of Life church, we believe every member is a minister. We’re a team where we all get to play! There are no "unimportant people" in the body of Christ, and there are no "insignificant ministries." We are committed to helping people find what they were uniquely designed to do in the body of Christ. In LIFE 301 – Serve, we'll use the SHAPE process to understand 5 elements (spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences) that determine what we were "shaped" for.

We have all at times had to perform a task that was just “not you”. You kind of felt like a square peg in a round hole. The same thing happens when we end up doing things in ministry that we weren't designed for. We end up frustrated and sometimes decide not to do anything at all. But God has been molding and shaping you for ministry since you were born. That's why it's so important to figure out what it is that He uniquely designed you to do.

301 is a very practical, engaging class that will help you understand your personal SHAPE and what ministry is the best fit for you. When you minister in a manner that is consistent with the personality God gave you, you will experience fulfillment, satisfaction, and fruitfulness. 

LIFE 401: Reach

The purpose of LIFE 401 – Reach is to help you learn how to share your faith in a God-honoring, people-respecting way. A lot of us don't regularly share our faith because we've seen too many examples of Christians beating unbelievers over the head with their Bibles, telling them they're going to hell. Who wants to be like that? Another reason we shy away from sharing our faith is the fear that we don't have all the answers. What if someone asks me a question that I don't know the answer to. Many believers want to share the gospel with their family and friends, but just simply don't know how.

If you've wrestled with any of these issues, LIFE 401 is for you. In 401 you will get a picture of God's heart for the lost and you'll learn the basics of personal evangelism. You'll walk away from 401 with a variety of applicable ways to share your faith in powerful, yet non-threatening ways. You'll also catch a vision of what is means to be a "world-class Christian" as you get an overview of world missions with practical ways that you can be involved in winning the lost all over the world. One of the greatest joys any of us will ever have is helping someone find faith in Christ. Are you ready for the adventure?
