Did We Learn Our Lesson?
Israel has just returned home after rejecting God and spending 70 years in exile because of its sin. Has it learned its lesson? What about us? Have we learned from our sins? Have they become a source of growth and forward motion or do we keep committing the same ones over and over again? We will study post-exilic Israel through the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. This is a fascinating section of Scripture with rich application for today. Come learn and grow as together we probe God’s amazing book.

The “Love Dare” for Marriages
The Love Dare is a workshop/challenge for husbands and wives to understand and practice unconditional love. Unconditional love is eagerly promised at weddings, but rarely practiced in real life. As a result, romantic hopes are often replaced with disappointment, but it doesn't have to stay that way.

A Women's Heart: God's Dwelling Place by Beth Moore (women only)
Perhaps no Old Testament event so dramatically illustrates God's persistent desire to relate to His children as the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness. Through the tabernacle God initiated a deeper relationship with His Chosen People by bringing reconciliation and revealing His glory. And certainly, no Old Testament event so richly prefigures the coming of the true Tabernacle, Jesus Christ. In this 10-week in-depth Bible study you will be challenged to prepare your heart, like the holy of holies, to become a home for His love and glory — a dwelling place for the Most High God.

If God is Good by Randy Alcorn (women only)
In such difficult times, suffering and evil beg questions about God… Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering? And then, how can there be a God if suffering and evil exist? In this captivating book, best-selling author Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief, and brings a fresh, realistic, and thoroughly biblical insight to the issues these important questions raise. He reveals the big picture of who God is and what God is doing in the world—now and forever. And he equips you to share your faith more clearly and genuinely in this world of pain and fear.

Home Groups are a place for you to make friends, and grow in your spiritual life. All around the valley, people are gathering during the week to discuss application from Sunday’s sermon, or explore other passages from the Bible. If you are looking to make a large church like Christian Center feel more personal, and friendly, please consider joining a home group.
The commitment to meet on a regular basis helps facilitate friendships, and authentic relationships in our high-tech, Facebook world. Being able to sit down with others and explore ideas, share challenges and encouraging stories of God’s faithfulness all help us grow in our spiritual maturity.
To get connected to a home group, give me a call!

MINISTRY GROUPS
ministry@kalispellchristiancenter.org
Mary Kay, 752-6428 x241
If you are looking to make a connection here at Christian Center, consider joining a small group of like-minded servants. The ministry groups here at church offer a variety of opportunities for service, and provide great places to make friends while serving others.
Ministry groups include Sunday morning guest services, like parking lot crew, ushers, greeters, coffee bar workers. Other groups on Sunday include Epic teachers, and nursery workers, or technical arts, like sound and projection. These Sunday opportunities are weekly events, but other options exist for more flexible time frames.
Wednesday evenings around Christian Center are packed with potential for ministry and service. Choir would be a great place to plug in, if worship is a passion for you. Children, youth, and college/career offer opportunities to build a legacy that will last into the future.
Adopt-A-Block gives people a chance to make the love of God tangible right in our own community. Consider partnering with this ministry if evangelism or caring for others are passions of yours.
We hope to help you find a place of meaningful service that allows you to express your God-given uniqueness, and to connect with others who share your passion and concerns. Give me a call to get you started on this process of finding your place in the community of Christian Center!
