Being Church: Christ Centered Community in a Divided World

How can we be a Christian community in a time of growing divisions within both society and the church at large? How does faith in Christ, the surprising activity of the Holy Spirit, and the power of covenant bonds invite us into boundary-breaking forms of relationship with God and one another? This class explores questions like these and whether our shared identity in Christ might offer us a way to see our differences not as threats but rather as an opportunity for growth. This course helps us to imagine new ways of being joined together in Christ through the transformative power of the gospel.

Covenant Affirmations

Being Church uses our denomination’s (Evangelical Covenant Church) Six Covenant Affirmations – 1) the centrality of the word of God, 2) the necessity of the new birth, 3) a commitment to the whole mission of the Church, 4) the Church as a fellowship of believers, 5) a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit, and 6) the reality of freedom in Christ – to assist us in these explorations. This course helps us to imagine new ways of being joined together in Christ through the transformative power of the gospel.

Course Materials

The discussion guide and course videos are available for individual or small group use.
