Why Core Classes?
In January 2025 the congregation took the Church Pulse Survey to explore the needs and desires of the church. Through that survey, we learned that many of you are seeking a deeper connection with God. We heard you, and we want to provide the space for deeper connection and spiritual growth. Our prayer through this is that our church would be equipped and empowered with fresh excitement and love for the Lord, spurring us on to share the Good News with others.
What are Core Classes?
This winter, Sherwood Oaks is continuing something special — Core Classes on Wednesday nights, where we’ll grow deeper in faith together. From January 14 through February 18, we’re inviting everyone — every age, every Connect Group, every ministry — to come together for six weeks for shared learning, connection, and growth.
We’ll kick things off with a pitch-in dinner on January 14 — bring a side or dessert to share. After that, classes will meet weekly from 6:00 to 7:30pm. You’re welcome to arrive early and bring your own meal — we’ll have space for that. We'll offer classes at the Bloomington campus online this season (see the list below) along with a class from Iglesia Hispana for our Spanish-speaking community. There’s something for everyone — and that includes your kids! We’ll have engaging children’s programming available each week. We’ll wrap up this journey with a special Worship Night on February 18.
Let’s grow deeper together this winter. We can’t wait to join you on this journey.
