October 21 - November 21

Kairos is a nine-session interactive study of the Purpose and Plan of God for His people and His world from Genesis to Revelation.

Kairos is for all Christians at any point in their journey with God. It is not a "missions" course. It is an opportunity for all of God's people to have their worldview transformed and aligned with God's heart for the nations. He has called us all to play a part in His mission both locally and globally and there are many different roles to fill.

Register by October 16 
The registration fee ($125) covers materials, refreshments, and lunches. For questions, please contact Krista Martin.
