EMERGENCE SESSIONS

Emergence Sessions are evening courses that equip us to walk as disciples of Jesus. They are designed to help you grow in your knowledge and love of God and to live wisely in his world.

Summer Sessions 2023

Roman Catholicism
As Protestants, how should we think about the Roman Catholic Church? Where is the line between agreement and disagreement? And how can we gently and respectfully engage with our Catholic neighbors and families? For six weeks this summer, we'll be learning about and examining the teachings of the Catholic Church. Our hope is that these Sessions will be a helpful resource for you personally and to share with your friends. Topics will include Scripture and tradition, salvation, the sacraments, the papacy, Mary and the saints, purgatory, and the canon of Scripture.

The Book of Job
How can we trust a God who loves us but allows us to go through times of intense suffering? This question is as relevant to the believer's walk today than it was thousands of years ago, when the the ancient Hebrews wrestled with it. The book of Job is a unique journey into one man's pain, his friends' attempts to guide him through it, and what God has to say to them all. Prepare to be challenged by this hard-hitting exploration into one of the most rewarding books of the entire Bible.

Summer Sessions will be held on Monday nights at 7 pm at our Totowa campus. Classes will run from July 17th–August 21.
