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.

Building Healthy Friendships

Saturday, Oct. 17 | 10am
Facilitated by Rev. David Ellis

In a world where technology keeps us constantly connected with others, many of us find it difficult to form and maintain genuine friendships. In this seminar we will explore what the Bible says about the importance of friendship, the challenges to building meaningful friendships, and practical steps we can take to allow Christ-centered friendships to form in our lives.

Deep Discipleship Cohort

Deep Discipleship Cohort 1.0

Taught by Rev. David Ellis & Team
Biweekly Sundays, starting early 2027


“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.

This cohort meets 10 times every other week until the end of January. These 2-hour gatherings will feature a lecture from instructors (David Ellis & team) 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.
