Koinonia ACG (Room 15)
The Koinonia ACG combines in-depth study on biblical, theological, and historical topics with in-depth application. We aren’t just filling heads, but looking to how the truths we discuss impact our daily living, our interactions with our brothers and sisters in Christ, and our mission to the world.
- Current Series: Jesus the One and Only Jesus can’t be fit neatly into one category. He is Eternal God, yes. He’s also the son of a young Palestinian girl. He’s a wise teacher AND a wonder worker. He is a storyteller AND the central character in the story of human history. He is utterly unique, and he is ours. This series will explore devotionally who Jesus is and how this should be reflected in our worship, prayer, and living.
- Recent past topics: Turning Points in Church History, Training Ambassadors, Exodus, The Atonement; Christ in the Old Testament; The Love of God.
Women’s ACG (Room 17)
- Current Series: Prayer in the Night with Melissa Hullinger & Amy Hendershott. Come join the women of CCC in exploring how the practice of prayer can guide and sustain us in seasons of hardship, uncertainty, and waiting. Following the book Prayer in the Night by Tish Harrison Warren and building on themes from the recent sermon series on Job, we’ll consider how to cultivate faith when life feels most fragile.
- Recent past topics: The Names of God, Pursuing Peace, The Lord’s Prayer, The Psalms; The Time of Our Lives – Reorienting Our Perspectives on Time; Reducing Suffering from Anxiety.
Men’s ACG (Room 10)
This new ACG for men seeks to provide community and spiritual formation for the men of the church. Come check out the new series.
- Current Series: Pathways of Grace, The Spiritual Disciplines Bob Whitaker and a team of teachers will explore how we use time-tested disciplines for spiritual formation. For the first two weeks, the Men’s ACG will meet in Room 18, then shift to Room 10 in the office wing.
International Coffee Hour (Room 18)
- Current Series: The Alpha Course (begins Aug. 24th). Are you investigating the claims of Jesus? Maybe you’re just wanting a good refresh on the basics of Christianity? Or maybe you’ve heard of the Alpha Course and want to see what it’s all about. Come join our community of international students and visiting scholars as we enjoy coffee and breakfast together and use the Alpha video series to help us discuss questions about life, faith, and God. Alpha is for people at every point of their spiritual journey so no question is off-limits or too basic. We’d love you to join us for this course whether your passport is from the U.S. or anywhere else around the globe.
- Past topic: Dr. Heather Holleman’s book, The Six Conversations; Pathways to Connecting in an Age of Isolation and Incivility.
