Discovery Bible Study
12 Week Class
September 10 – November 19 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 920-301-6109.
Boundaries
12 Week Class
September 10 – November 19 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
12 Week Class
September 10 – November 19 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.
