At Cityview, we believe in the importance of lifelong learning.

We provide a variety of classes during our Explore Hour (Sundays at 9:15a) that will help enrich your understanding of the faith. These classes promote spiritual growth, theological and biblical insight, and ministry development, all of which will help you to become a mature and equipped follower of Christ.

Explore Hour does not meet Apr 5.

These electives begin Apr 12:

Explore the Bible: Matthew 14-28 (Berea) ♦ Yellow Room
Matthew 14–28 represents a turning point in the life and ministry of Jesus. After preaching and healing in Galilee, Christ turned his face toward Jerusalem. His steps ultimately took him to a cross—and an empty tomb. As believers, we benefit from this turning point, and, we gain a better understanding of what it means to live out our faith each day—and how we can move forward to make disciples of all nations.

Christianity Explored (The Well) ♦ Red Room
Over seven sessions, guests will read Mark’s Gospel to find out more about the life of the person at the heart of the Christian faith—Jesus Christ.

Christian Foundations (Areopagus) ♦ Blue Room
This course offers a clear and practical introduction to the core doctrines of the Christian faith, helping participants grow in both understanding and worship. Together, we will explore how the Bible fits together as one unified story and what it teaches about God, salvation, and the Church.

Women’s Study: Evangelizing Through Prayer (Tyrannus) ♦  Room 208
In this class, we will focus on the following topics: Why Evangelize, Personal Preparation, God’s Power, How to Pray for the Lost, How to Pray for Each Other, and How to Reach the Lost for Christ.
