Adult Education
Discipleship | Additional Bible Studies | Library

We are all individuals. Maybe you are a lifelong Christian. Maybe you're not even sure you believe. No matter where you are in your Christian walk there is an opportunity at Calvary that will meet you where you are. Adult Education is a great way to grow in faith and to meet others who share your questions and can offer their own insights. Whether it's your first step, or your next step - join us on a journey of faith.

If you have questions about any adult classes at Calvary, please feel free to contact me. I'd love to learn more about your needs and interests.

Truth Project preview video

Do you really believe, that what you believe is really real?

Jesus said, "...for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world - to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."

What did Jesus mean by this? Are the truth claims of God really that different than those of the world? Are we living our lives on the side of truth as Jesus calls us to do? Do our life choices, actions and words reflect what we believe is really real?

The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group study that practically and personally introduces viewers to the truth claims of God. If you're interested in finding out if the Truth Project is right for you, feel free to contact Craig Anderson at (craig.anderson@mwcia.org or 952.897.6431) for more details.
