What's Coming Up?

Next Step Workshops are the fundamentals of following Jesus designed around a child's developmental phase of life. They prepare parents and kids to grow and live in the Christian faith. Most workshops are for parents and kids to attend together. Parents will be encouraged and equipped as the primary former of faith to take it home and live it out with their children. Here are the workshops for high school families:

A Next Step Workshop
Designed for incoming freshmen and their parents, this single session workshop facilitates great family discussions. We’ll prepare you to navigate life in high school and follow Jesus through opportunities and obstacles. Offered in the late summer. Aaron Thompson, athompson@ualc.org.

 

A Next Step Workshop
Do you have questions you'd like to ask about your faith? We'll work with the "Can I Ask That?" book to cover some common questions about marriage, sexuality and identity, the existence of pain and suffering, and what the Bible says about women. Asking honest questions and expressing doubts is part of exploring faith at a deeper level. Cost is $15 and includes the book; however if you already have the book, you can come for free. Aaron Thompson, athompson@ualc.org.
