Don't Mind Me, I Don't Like Me Either (Mental Health and The Church)

Steve Rains

The purpose of “Mental Health and the Church” is to discuss the concept of mental health as it relates to a church’s potential to help lighten the load a family may be experiencing. Mental health affects more than just the individual and the church community can provide resources to better their lives.

In the event professional help may be necessary, we will discuss the differing philosophies among practitioners. When seeking assistance, a theorist should help strengthen the faith of their patients.

We will touch on the more common diagnoses and answer the question, “Does taking medication reflect a lack of faith?”

Discovering Your Unique, God Given, Purpose

Andy Zook

We will explore the idea of purpose, how it relates to trials and joy. We will explore the affects of stillness and noise in our journey to purpose. We will discuss practical steps to position ourselves to hear clearly from God on our unique purpose. Once we know our purpose and organize our lives around it, we will experience more peace, contentment, satisfaction and fulfilment in life and less disappointment, frustration and anger.

Good Life - Good Death

Derrick Pemberton

This class will be led by teacher and medical ethicist, Derrick Pemberton. Living well and dying well are significant topics that often receive too little serious consideration. In this course, we will examine what it means to live a good life by drawing on ancient biblical and moral resources. We will also explore the complexities of dying in 21st-century America and discuss strategies to ensure your end-of-life care aligns with your personal values. At the conclusion of the class, you will have the opportunity to complete medical advance care planning documents with the assistance of trained professionals.
