This stage of the Pathway is dedicated to the heart-work of becoming formed in the image of Jesus. We want to help you continue your journey through the pathway by offering intentional courses each semester that provide opportunities for growth. For new believers, Alpha is a perfect opportunity to learn more about faith. For those who have been walking with Jesus for some time, we recommend joining us in the study of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. Once you’ve stepped through either or both of these courses, you can join us for offerings in different subjects that include spiritual practices, disciplines, and sermon-aligned courses.
We offer this class quarterly, and it’s a great opportunity to get to know more folks who call gracespring home. At each First Step class, we spend more time walking through how our mission, vision, values, and strategy continue to form us, as well as sharing a breakfast, a tour of the building, and finding potential next steps for each person to take as they continue to find Jesus at gracespring.
We believe that people who become fully engaged participants in the church also become owners in the ministry. Through covenant relationship to one another, we submit ourselves to one another and leadership who hold us accountable to Christ. We offer our Membership class quarterly and it’s an opportunity to share a meal with elders and pastors, and to learn more about what membership means at gracespring.
Alpha is a curriculum for new believers that spends time delving into what it means to enter into relationship with Jesus and walks through core tenets of the Christian faith. If you’re new to the faith, this is a great place to start. It is offered each semester.
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality is offered each semester. EHS is a course which offers a deeper dive into what it means to grow into spiritual maturity through emotional wholeness. This course is a great place to start if you’re looking for your next step in growing into an emotionally and spiritually mature Christian.
Each semester, we offer a number of gsLIFE Courses which focus on some of the 6 growth behaviors. These courses are opportunities to come together in community, learn from one another, and grow in our relationship with the Lord through practical learning and heart work.
