In our increasingly global world, we rub shoulders with people from a variety of backgrounds and religious beliefs. How do we interact with our neighbors, coworkers and family from different faiths? What does it look like to have Christ-centered conversations that honor one another?
During this class we will be learning about Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses. We will explore origin, core beliefs and practices. Most importantly, we hope to foster a gracious mindset of curiosity, kindness, and respect for interfaith dialogue.
This class will run from April 28th each week until May 19th before service at 8:15 AM. Childcare will be provided.

Encounter Academy is a place where curiosity, faith, and relationships grow. It exists to equip the church through education and experience. Encounter Academy is open to anyone longing to grow in their understanding, belief, and relationship with God. We currently offer classes at three times throughout the year which each focus on a different aspect of the Christian faith, experience, or intersectionality with the world.
