Classes
Redeemer East Side believes that deep spiritual growth doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens with others. We offer classes and seminars where you can explore Scripture, deepen your faith, and build relationships. Led by pastors, staff, and trusted leaders from our community, these classes are designed to equip you to live out the gospel where you live and work. Read more about upcoming offerings below.
Understanding the Prophets
Taught by Bram van den Heuvel
Sunday, Feb. 1 | 9am
The 17 prophetic books of the Old Testament constitute an important part of Scripture. The prophets brought God’s word to his people, reminding them of his covenant, calling them to repentance, instilling them with hope, and informing them of God’s plans for the world. Their words are cited or alluded to hundreds of times in the New Testament and continue to speak to people’s needs today. Yet the writings of the Hebrew prophets can be difficult to understand. In this seminar, East Side member Bram van den Heuvel, a doctoral student in Old Testament studies, will introduce us to the writings of the Hebrew prophets and give us practical pointers on how to understand their works.
Deep Discipleship Cohort
Taught by David Ellis
Sundays, Feb. 8 - June 14 | 12:45pm
Mondays, Feb. 9 - June 15 | 7pm
“Deep Discipleship” is a training cohort that provides participants with an opportunity to dive deeply into three key areas of the Christian faith: biblical interpretation, doctrinal knowledge, and spiritual practice.
Each cohort consists of 10-13 people who meet 10 times every other week for five months. These 90-minute gatherings will feature a lecture from the instructor (David Ellis) followed by group discussion. Between sessions, participants will invest about 2 hours per week to complete reading and viewing assignments.
The fee for the cohort, which covers the cost of books and other expenses, is $70 ($100 for married couples who share books). Scholarships are available upon request.
