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.

We offer certain classes regularly, such as our Membership and Spiritual Gifts classes. We also offer a variety of electives, typically offering one class each quarter in these five tracks:

Explore Christianity

The Well

Introduction to the faith and the church for those investigating Christianity or Cityview

Berea

Inductive study of different books of the Bible

Tyrannus

Training for personal ministry (outreach, discipleship, etc.) and leadership

Areopagus

Our most rigorous classes intellectually, centering on theology and apologetics

The Portico

Practical instruction on topics like parenting, marriage, finances, and the like

Explore Hour recovenes on Sept 15 at 9:15a. Adults will gather in the Multipurpose Room for a 1-week introduction to the electives and the Explore Hour year.

The following electives are offered beginning Sept 22:

Loving the Way Jesus Loves (Tyrannus) ♦ Blue Room
Redefining love by looking at the life of Jesus as characterized in 1 Corinthians 13.

Explore the Bible: Acts 13-28 (Berea) ♦  Yellow Room
In Acts 13–28, the early church experienced the power of new opportunities. After planting their roots in Jerusalem, the members of the early church got down to the business of fulfilling Jesus’s command to take His message to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Paul and his missionary partners walked through new doors that God opened for them. They dealt with highs and lows, excitement and even some anxiety. The study of these early believers serves to equip and energize us to continue the task we’ve been given.

Digging Up the Bible (Areopagus) ♦  Red Room   Please note this class will start on 9/29.
A seven-week study designed to show Christians the importance of researching the lands of the Bible. Mark Strong will share lessons he learned in participating in six seasons on an archaeological dig in the Holy Land. You will find the study of biblical archaeological discoveries will help clarify and illuminate the Word of God.

Women: Gospel of Luke (Berea) ♦ Room 208
Everything Jesus did was through being connected to the Father, and it made a difference in his responses to others. What do we learn about the Father from Jesus’ actions and how does it relate to us remaining connected to Jesus in all that we do and say?
