"Journey from Unbelief to Faith"
Sundays 9:30 AM - Through the end of February
Fellowship Hall
In this new year, as we celebrate our baptismal identity in Christ Jesus, we are beginning a 4 week Study on Sunday mornings at the Nixa campus. Join us as we hear the stories of 4 different individuals who were deep in the darkness of unbelief, but who by the grace and mercy of God came to faith in the light of the world - Jesus himself. As we hear about their journeys, we are sure to learn more about our own journey of faith as well. See you all this Sunday!
This class meets periodically and studies different topics relating to how to live and interact with one another in this amazing world God has created for us! In the Fall of 2019, we are studying God's amazing gift of Grace, through a study written by famous author Max Lucado. Meets in the Music Room.
For those who are new to Redeemer, or who simply want a review of our basic Christian teachings as taught in Luther's small catechism, this class meets seasonally in eight week segments as a small group to discover what it means to be called a "Lutheran" today.
Check with the Nixa church office to find out when the next class will begin!
Beginning after the "Journey from Unbelief to Faith" class, about the first of March, Pastor will be leading a class on the study of the Psalms.
