Christian formation is the lifelong process of growing in faith. It is the work of Christ in our hearts transforming how we think, how we live, and how we relate to God and others. At OroNaz, we desire to help our people grow. One way we do that is by offering a selection of eight-week Christian Formation classes each Spring and Fall  specifically designed to promote growth in the following three areas:

1) Learning the story of God (developing biblical literacy)
2) Living out the story of God (practically in relationships, finances, parenting, etc.)
3) Expanding the story of God (maturing and making disciples).

Next classes begin Sunday, March 23. Please choose a class that interests you from the descriptions that follow and come to learn and grow together with us.
FIRST & SECOND PETER
Led by Brien Hatch
Sunday mornings 9:00-9:45, Fellowship Hall
 
First and Second Peter, written to God's elect...that's us! Peter reminds us of our "living hope" in the midst of suffering and calls on us to live our lives "worthy of God's calling."

Suffering, hope, and Christian conduct are addressed in these epistles. Join us in learning how we can recognize false teachers and let's rely on Jesus to help us to respond to our world with complete trust in God the Father.
GOING DEEPER
Led by Barry Franks
Sunday Mornings 9:00-9:45, Room 117
 
In this class we will learn how to read the Bible for depth instead of distance. We will look at short passages of Scripture as we go through the book of John, listening for the Lord's promises, commands, warnings, errors to avoid, insights, interesting facts, and more. We will learn to personalize His words to us through Scripture and grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus.
