Christian Aesthetics/Theology of Beauty is a Biblical philosophical study of the intrinsic yet perceivable beauty as displayed in the Holy Trinity, the redemptive work of Christ, and the material world. In this study, we will apply the test of Scripture to our practical and philosophical understanding of how beauty has been perceived by philosophical thinkers, Greek and Roman Mythology, classical artists & architects, and the Western Church. See Syllabus here.
The book of Acts Study is fundamental to understanding the rest of the New Testament. Some people view Acts as just a historical retelling of events of the early church, but Acts is a wonderful study detailing the power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the early disciples. There is plenty of relevance to how God wants to empower the church to accomplish his mission today. Hosted by Greg Simms, join us every Sunday at 9:30am in the Weaver Room at FPC.
