Connecting to Cornerstone (TBA @ 9)
Teacher: Chas LaPierre
A new class will be announced. This class includes the elements of fellowship, Bible exploration, and discussion. The focus will be on what God has said to us in the Bible and how we can take action on that truth in today’s world. Anyone may attend this new class; however, the class is designed for those who are new to Cornerstone. This class could help you develop the faith you desire, invigorate a faith you already have, or define how you want to grow and serve. You may join this class at any time. Each of the ten sessions is self-contained. The sessions will be repeated throughout the year, so, if you miss a session, you can pick it up the next time the series is presented.

Faith Café  (Begins 7/4 @ 9)
Teacher: Walt Brown
Renovation of the Heart
The local café has been a part of Americana for many years. It has been an informal place for getting a good basic meal but it is also a hub of social activity and friendships. That is the idea behind what we believe this new class could be in our faith community. Faith Café is a class where you can get a good spiritual meal, participate in pertinent discussions, meet people, and make friendships. For this quarter, we aren’t born again to stay the way we are and yet the struggle to be devoted to Christ is often flawed by set-backs. Is it possible to experience significant growth in your Christian walk, shed sinful habits, and take on the character of Christ? Most of us would say that is the ideal but we still wonder “How do I get there?” This class will draw on scripture and the book Renovation of the Heart by Dallas Willard to answer that question and many more as we put on the character of Christ.

Homebuilders  (Begins 7/4 @ 9)
Teachers: Kevin Bayless, Scott Curtis, Jeff Medema & Greg Sprinkle
Growing Wiser
The Homebuilders class strives to help parents build up Godly families. While our kids look forward to birthdays and the freedoms and opportunities that each new year brings, we may not be so enthusiastic about growing older ourselves. The Bible is filled with examples, however, of the wisdom and benefits that can come with age and experience. This quarter we will study some of these examples to learn how we can grow wiser through God’s counsel and learning from the Godly people around us. Please join us for study, discussion, laughter, and encouragement.

Pathfinders  (Begins 7/4 @ 9)
Teacher: Mike Hall
The Epistles of John
This class is made up of young adults and married couples in their 30s and 40s. We study a variety of Bible based subjects. The class is structured for discussion, fun, and fellowship. Have you ever struggled with deciding what God’s will is for your life? Could you use help in making decisions? If so, this class may provide you with the answers you seek. Join us as we explore the concepts related to understanding God's will and decision-making in your life. Study materials will be provided.

Halas  (Begins 7/4 @ 10:30)
Teacher: Steve Matthews
Israel
Members of this class are generally 55 and older. The class will study the beginnings of the nation of Israel, their time spent in Egypt, and their exodus out of Egypt. God had the Hebrew people live in Egypt for 430 years. This study will help us understand and know His purpose and plan for the Hebrews in Egypt and how that influenced the rest of their history. Join us.

Philia  (Begins 7/4 @ 10:30)
Teacher: Bill Estes
Managing Conflict in the Church
Members of the class are typically 30s, 40s, and 50s. There is fellowship and caring for all who attend. The apostles faced conflict and so will you, but conflicts can cripple a congregation if left unresolved! Learn to recognize warning signs, sharpen your communication skills, and mediate with confidence. From minor personality differences to no-holds-barred power struggles, learn to handle disagreements and strengthen our church in the process.

Sonrise  (Begins 7/4 @ 10:30)
Teacher: Dave Blanford
Jesus Christ:  Teacher, Servant, Savior
The class is open to all adults. This class is close knit and empathic. We thoroughly enjoy each other’s company – in and out of class. New members are welcomed. We have lively discussions, share feelings, laugh a lot, and love learning about God’s ways. The study explores how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament and then moves through the gospels and the letters discovering different aspects of Christ in each book. Join us.
