THE FOUNDATIONS COURSE

What You Will Work Through

The workshop follows our four-module Foundations course. Each module stands on its own, so missing one is not a dealbreaker.

01

Foundations of Faith

The core story of scripture and why it still holds up. No prior background assumed.
4 lessons · 60 min

02

Habits That Hold

Prayer, reading, and rest as repeatable weekly habits instead of guilt trips.
3 lessons · 45 min

03

Community and Belonging

Why faith was never meant to be a solo project, and how to find your people here.
3 lessons · 50 min

04

Serving Where You Are

Matching what you are good at with what the neighborhood actually needs.
2 lessons · 40 min
