Bible 101
This course is designed to study all basic aspects of the Bible, from the history and the books of the Bible, to daily reading of the Bible for growing Christians. From the absolute novice, or for those wanting a refresher course, this class explores topics such as how to purchase your own Bible, how to use the Bible as a resource for devotionals and how to use the Bible in development of your own prayer life.
Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts

Alpha
Alpha is a great opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith for your life today. Alpha is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity that is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never previously set foot in a church and regular church goers. Each week people meet together for a meal, a talk on topics, followed by small group interaction. Child care is available where the kids join in the fun via ALPHA Sprouts. Call Bob Boone for details at 816-590-9064. Visit this website for further details: http://www.alphausa.org.
New Shepherd Group
If you've attended an Alpha course, then you know what a life-changing experience it is! Welcome to Phase 2 of Alpha! The New Shepherd Group is for those who have experienced Alpha, or for those who would like to try something different! SHARE a meal, WORSHIP through singing, LISTEN to a faith-inspired live talk, followed by group discussion and PRAYER time. Faith-inspired talks are scheduled, and group members are welcome to share their own faith experiences by giving a talk, if they have a message they want to share.

They learn how to lead-faith based lives in response to some of the issues and concerns that they face as young adults. This group meets on Sunday morning from 9:45 to 10:45.
