BIBLICAL WISDOM FOR YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE
Money touches nearly every part of life, yet most of us were never taught how to approach it God's way.
Whether you're experiencing financial stress, working through debt, learning to budget, planning for the future, or simply wanting to be more intentional with your finances, Generosity University (GenU) can help.
GenU is an 8-week biblical financial discipleship experience that combines practical financial tools with biblical wisdom about money, stewardship, and generosity. You'll develop healthy financial habits, grow in confidence, and learn to align your financial decisions with your faith.
MIDWEEK BIBLE PROGRAM
During the school year, the Aurora Campus offers Epic on Wednesday nights from 6:30–8pm, September 16 through April 28! Elementary kids will build friendships, have fun, and dive into God’s Word together as they discover his epic story.
EPHESIANS CLASS BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER
Ready to dive deeper into Scripture? Join Pastor Oscar for an 8-week study of Ephesians: United in Christ, on Mission with Christ.

NEW: CULTIVATING RELATIONSHIPS AT WORK
If you’re an educator, you work with people nonstop — kids, parents, teachers, and specialists. And the quality of those relationships will make or break your experience as an educator. Come join us for an interactive panel discussion to hear from some local educators about their experience in cultivating life-giving relationships in some of the most challenging environments. Bring your questions — or just come to be reminded by other educators you're not doing this alone.
