This four-week practical learning course is designed for beginners who want to build a foundation in acoustic guitar playing. Students will learn essential skills such as guitar anatomy, basic chord families, strumming patterns, and simple song progressions in a relaxed and encouraging environment. Each class includes a short devotional moment, hands-on instruction, and guided individual practice. Our desire is that by the end of the course, students will be able to play foundational chords and accompany simple worship songs.

*Students must bring their own personal acoustic guitar to each class every week. 

Join us for a four-week Book Club as we go through “The Way of the Wildflower” by Ruth Chou Simons. This beautifully illustrated book is filled with gospel meditations inspired by her walks in the mountains of Colorado. We will explore themes of living in the way of dependence, freedom, and resilience, while understanding that we are deeply loved. Through discussion, we will encourage one another to carry these truths into the many circumstances of our lives. This book is pleasure to read, especially if you love Jesus, art, and flowers! 

Books are $20 and can be purchased online or picked up on the first day of class.

The Genesis story shows us that God spoke and creation was birthed, that by God’s breath, humanity was given life. Through story, the children of Israel were commanded to teach their children all that YHWH had done. The gospel stories teach us about the life and way of Jesus. Movies/films are one of the primary methods of storytelling in our culture today. They affect culture as well as the individuals viewing them by masterfully telling a story through not only the narrative but also the visual and aural elements.  

Movies/film speak to the deep cultural, human, and spiritual instincts. How we engage movies theologically as followers of Jesus has the potential to be both powerful and important in our communities. This course will guide us to be critical thinkers about topics that culture cares about, engage with the culture’s stories, and understand how they communicate these stories through movies.  

This four week course on creativity, prayer, and calling is designed for artists, musicians, writers, designers, and makers who want to explore how prayer, silence, Scripture, and spiritual attentiveness can shape the creative process.
