Beginning July 6th, grow deeper in faith with others. During the Second Hour, you're invited to join one of the following studies starting at 10:45.

Salt & Light
Taught by Associate Pastor Jonathan Lusche & Elder/Deacon Danielle Davis
For non-Christians and Christians alike, personal evangelism has become tainted by experiences of hurt, guilting, and perceived manipulation. Yet, believers remain called to be faithful to Jesus’ commands to, “… proclaim the good news…” and “… make disciples of all nations…”. Inspired by StoneBridge’s recent Gather25 event, this 4 week course will address the past hurts and challenges of evangelism as well as explore fresh ways of sharing the hope of Christ to present and future generations.

Christmas in July: The Incarnation
Taught by Associate Pastor Ryan Joslin
Understanding the Christian doctrine of incarnation is central to understanding the who and the why of Jesus as the Son of God. The importance of the incarnation is magnified when measured by its influence upon other Christian doctrines such as Salvation and Revelation. Join Associate Pastor Ryan and get into the holiday spirit… In July… Christmas sweaters, not advised.
