• Change the World: Recovering the Message and Mission of Jesus

  April 19 – May 31, 2026 (no class on May 3 or 24)
  Description: Something is not working. Despite the church’s place of prominence in American culture and the ubiquity of the church in every American town, misconceptions about the faith of Jesus Christ run rampant today. Christians are known more for exclusivity than for love, more for potlucks than for solving world hunger.

  It’s time for churches to get over the cruise-ship mentality of being a program provider, and reconnect with the true message and mission of Jesus: to bring good news to the poor, release to the captives, and freedom to the oppressed.  Pastor Mike Slaughter challenges church leaders to look at the future of their congregations and make tough but necessary choices.

Newcomers are always welcome!
