IMPACT Classes

Classes Offered Spring 2023

DAILY LIFE SKILLS: Discover the “how to’s” of living God’s design for our lives. Learn the ten daily living skills needed to move forward in your life and how to apply them to practically any situation, routine or project.  We cover 8 topics in 8 Lessons with different guest topic leaders each Lesson hosted by one class facilitator. Half of the lessons are devoted to one of our greatest sources of worry:  household budget management. Class content may be presented through videos, learning activities, talks, storytelling, question and answer sessions, and/or demonstrations. The class environment is lively and dynamic and will encourage us to engage our minds, hands and hearts.

HOW WE LOVE: Be freed from the bondage of frustration, resentment and bitterness and move toward compassion and forgiveness by exploring the roots of how we relate to and express love for ourselves and others. Let it begin with you.

~ “He is showing me how He made me, wired me and what He is truly calling me to do in my life.” (Participant)

OVERCOME: A class for those affected by mental/emotional health challenges and/or their supporters. Under the guidance of trained facilitators, participants work through this a study guide, which provides practical tools as well as Biblical encouragement and support. The small group setting emphasizes the power of vulnerability in a safe environment. Overcome helps participants experience the abundant life of Christ as children of God, valuable and worth of love.  

~ “I loved the Facilitators and how they made it a safe place and built community.” (Participant)

REDEMPTIVE COMPASSION®: is a biblical philosophy on wholistic help for those we serve through relationship, compassion and respect. Come to this class prepared to challenge how you think about physical, spiritual, relational and emotional poverty in ourselves and others, and to re-evaluate our beliefs and behaviors to distinguish between helping and hurting. 

~ “For decades help has been more focused on relief than recovery, propagating lifestyles of need, rather than providing a way out of need.” (Facilitator)

Classes Offered in future trimesters

AFFIRMING POTENTIAL: See your life’s big picture in this dynamic class that helps you assess and improve in concrete, practical ways your physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual self in accordance with God’s plan for you.

BOUNDARIES: Recognize when to say yes and how to say no to take control of your life in accordance with God’s design for living. Explore how healthy boundaries give us freedom to make choices and to love and live in right relationship with ourselves, others and God.

~ “The Boundaries class helped me in a life altering way. I learned healthy boundaries know no limits.” (Participant)
