We want to help you become skillful in your life work!
Many people today seek for deeper meaning and purpose in their lives. Christians ask: "What is God's will for my life?" We first need to ask: "What is God's will?" We need to understand God's purposes unfolding throughout history as revealed in the Scriptures and then seek to know the part God created us for - our "lifework" - the unique collection of good works that God has prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10)
The Seven Priorities of the Christian Life is a ten week class designed to help you both clarify and become skillful in your life work through bringing clarity to seven important areas of your life. The class will walk you through each of the seven priorities, giving you the opportunity in the process to reflect on your own life. By the end of the class you will have brought each of the seven priorities and particularly your life work into a clearer focus. But the process does not stop there. The priorities will help you grow more skillfully in your lifework throughout your entire life.
The class is offered in the fall and spring of each year.
