Our thoughts about God determine who we are and how we live. In the Good and Beautiful God study, we'll turn to the Gospels and put our narratives to the test to see if they match up with what Jesus himself reveals about God. 

Over the course of 10 weeks, explore The Good and Beautiful God - the first book by James Bryan Smith in the Apprentice series.

You'll grow in your understanding of who God is, and what it means to follow Jesus while living in community with other followers as part of God's kingdom.

Childcare available (please register)

8-Week Study starts September 10 | 6:30-8:00pm | Atrium

St. Mark’s Community Church has a vision to make a Kingdom impact from the Triad to the Triangle. The Book of Acts gives us a picture of what it looks like to be a church on mission. The early church was unapologetically committed to inviting all people into the community of God. They were willing to make tremendous sacrifices for their neighbor.

Jesus had a plan for how a small group of people would impact Jerusalem (small), Judea (bigger), Samaria (even bigger...and messier) and the ends of the earth (huge)!

Now it’s our turn to be the Church! It’s our turn to step outside of our comfort zone and to faithfully respond to the mission field all around us. As a church, we are given a task to be witnesses to the Love of God: here in west Burlington, in east Burlington, from the Triad to the Triangle, and to the ends of the earth.

In addition to our Wednesday night study (above), men and women can choose to engage in this study as part of the Men’s Coffee and Co-Op on Tuesday mornings or the Women’s Coffee and Co-Op on Thursday mornings.

When debt isn’t holding you back, nothing can stop you from living the life of your dreams. And here’s the good news: You can get there. You just need a plan that works. That’s what you’ll learn in Financial Peace University. FPU is the 9-week class that teaches you step by step how to pay off debt fast and build wealth for your future.

Stuffy financial class? Not here. FPU is full of energy, easy-to-understand lessons, and real-life examples of people just like you who have taken control of their money.

And the best part? You’ll experience the class with a group of people, led by some of our St. Mark's FPU alum, who will encourage you and hold you accountable every step of the way. That’s what makes FPU so life-changing! In fact, the average FPU graduate is debt-free in two years or less! This will only be $25 PER HOUSEHOLD, which includes this class, the material and a year-long membership to FPU.

Learn how money doesn't have to be a stress, how you can plan for your future, and how to build a legacy.
