QAD (Question and Discussion)
QAD is an accumulation of people of varying ages from 40-80. This provides an educational (and sometimes humorous) interaction within the class. Our backgrounds are all different, as are our interests, but we appear to allow each other to shine when appropriate. Perhaps it is this difference of personalities that enable us to moderate each other’s responses. Some say very little, and some speak more often, but we all are appreciated. We are a diverse, caring, and fun-loving group of adults. We enjoy the connects we have made within the class and often enjoy each other’s company outside of church. As an aside, we also have some very good cooks in our class, and most weeks we enjoy the snacks they prepare.

You may be wondering about the same thing yourself. The Storyteller series tells the fuller story of Scripture, so you can see that Jesus is more than worthy of your consideration.

He lays out a path to holistic living with healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world. He frees us from confusing our limitations with sin and instead invites us to rest in the joy and relief of knowing that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community.
