Our Vision
for Education
Disciples of Jesus at UALC grow in their Biblical literacy and engagement, learning how to read, apply, and trust the words of Scripture. We learn together the hope of the Gospel, the role of God’s law, the meaning of the cross, and the role of the Church.
Sunday Afternoon Education Hour
Life and the Bible have this in common: they can both seem awfully complicated. Part of growing in Christ together is learning to understand the Bible and how to think through life’s questions with Jesus at the center.

Join us on Sundays, 4:30-6:00 pm at the Mill Run Campus for various classes offered throughout the year.
Beginning April 7, we will be offering four practical courses which coincide with the sermon series, Free! Together we’ll hear the Bible’s good news message of Jesus as it gives us freedom in a sensitive but important area of our lives.
April 7 and 14: “Building a Prayerful, Purposeful Budget,” taught by David Jakes, will focus on how to be a wise steward of the resources God has entrusted to you. Register here.
April 7 and 14: “Building Your Plan for Planned Giving” will provide guidance on using your financial legacy to provide for future generations. Register here.
April 28 and May 5: David Jakes will lead, “Managing Debt.” This class will focus on how to better manage resources to move towards getting out of debt. Register here.
April 28 and May 5: Aaron Thompson will teach, “Embracing Joyful Generosity” which will focus on learning to give from and with a joyful heart. Register here.

OVERVIEW
There’s a good chance you’ve heard the word Gospel before. And maybe you’ve noticed that people can mean pretty different things by it, even though they call them all “Gospel.” Some of those things are a lot more helpful than others.
If you’re curious about the Gospel of Jesus, if you wonder why Christians sometimes seem to be preaching different messages, if the Gospel has ever sounded like not very good news to you, or if you just want to grow in understanding Jesus’ message better, then we made this series for you.

For the last year, Pastor Steve and the UALC education team have been working on a video series for small groups. This seven-episode video series is part of a new study series we will be rolling out over the next several years to help develop the Biblical and theological foundation of our church.
