2025 Term 1 Classes Feb. 6 – May 1
New Way is a place to meet new people, learn new skills, and strengthen your faith.
The New Way Community gathers for two 12-week terms each year.
We meet weekly on Thursday nights from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm at Calvin Christian Reformed Church, 2313 Saemann Ave., Sheboygan
New Way is a casual atmosphere that begins with a meal and fellowship time.
You can arrive anytime between 5:00 pm – 5:30 pm to eat. We share a brief devotion or testimony and prayer before going to class.
Childcare is provided for participants with children ages 0-13 which is available from 5:00 pm – 7:15 pm. A kid-friendly meal is provided during childcare hours.
Blessings at New Way include:
Personal and home care items for self-selection in our Blessings Room after class from 7:00 pm – 7:15 pm.
We also partner with the Sheboygan County Food Bank to provide a weekly opportunity to request a food box delivered to the church.
These blessings are a way to bless all New Way participants for their hard work and commitment to personal growth, as well as providing a small way of reducing a household’s financial burden.
A short celebration is held at the end of each term to honor the hard work of all participants. This includes a certificate, gift card, and dessert w/ punch.
Affirming Potential
12 Week Class
Feb. 6 – May 1, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Affirming Potential introduces people to a life-changing journey by helping them face and accept their past, better understand their present, and embrace their future with Christ. Affirming Potential seeks to uncover and affirm the potential that exists within each of us. Participants are asked to dream again or for the first time ever; to set goals, to evaluate their goals, and to develop action steps toward achieving those goals. This class includes small group discussion for deeper understanding of self and to gain new perspectives.
It is also possible to enter into a mentor type relationship with a Trail Guide after this class ends. Trail Guides can help you actualize your dreams by supporting you through action steps towards your goal(s). This requires a strong desire to make positive changes in your life and a consistent meeting commitment. Affirming Potential instills the truths that we are valuable, we are important, that our lives are meaningful, and that overcoming struggle is possible!
Financial Future
12 Week Class
Feb. 6 – May 1, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Financial Future is a course that explores the various elements of personal budgeting and planning so that each individual gains the confidence towards becoming financially stable. The class tracks real life situations from a Biblical perspective with tips and techniques for understanding basic financial matters.
Facilitators and Financial Advocates walk with participants through the class as a support in providing clarification and encouragement, assistance in filling out required forms, deciphering credit reports, and providing insights into new financial behaviors. One-on-one meetings with a Financial Advocate can be set up within this class to address your specific concerns or questions and support your financial journey.
Discovery Bible Study
12 Week Class
Feb. 6 – May 1, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Discovery Bible Study is an opportunity to discover and understand God right where you are in your faith journey. Bible knowledge is not necessary. It is a question driven study which is what gives it its name, Discovery Bible Study.
This type of Bible study is designed to educate and encourage seekers and believers to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways. Ultimately, it offers an opportunity to contemplate the lessons from Bible passages so that you can find practical ways to apply them to your own life and circumstances.
Although we encourage participation in the full class, it is possible to join this class at any time during the term. Please call Love INC to inquire about partial attendance at 920-783-6701 option #2.
Boundaries
10 Week Class
Feb. 20 – May 1, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend uncover the secrets to cultivating the habit of setting and maintaining healthy boundaries that provide the framework for rich, productive relationships.
Healthy relationships and sound living depend on maintaining effective personal boundaries. But many people don’t know where to start. Based on the bestselling book by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, these interactive sessions can make a life-changing difference. Drawing on principles from the Bible, Boundaries guides small groups on a journey of discovery and practical application. As a participant, you’ll learn how to live your life more fully and display truth and love more freely. It’s the centerpiece for insights, exercises, and spirited group discussion that can profoundly improve the quality of your relationships in every sphere of life—marriage, family, friendships, Church, and the workplace.
Successful Living
10 Week Class
Feb. 20 – May 1, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Successful Living is a class designed to provide you a basic road map for living successfully. Within the context of this class, successful living is not a set of things you must achieve, such as the type of job you have or how much money you earn. Instead, success is measured around five Biblical principles. Within these principles, you will discover your core values, which will give insight into better time management. Additionally, this class will give you skills to manage stress, conflict, anger, and boundaries. It will also cover topics for understanding your personality, how to express love through your actions, and how to live with increasing hope. Each week covers a new topic and provides you with suggestions for how to practice your successful living skills at home.
If you love this class, you might want to consider extending your goals for successful living by taking Love INC’s Affirming Potential class.
