God created a system in which relationships are unavoidable. In this divine system relationships are the anatomy of all the parts of life. To experience with any significance what Jesus calls “life abundantly”, (John 10:10) each of us has to interact righteously in many different relationships. But you know as well as I do, we struggle with growing relationships that are grounded in agape love and structurally built on Biblical principles. So how do we go about growing the multiple relationships we find ourselves in willingly and sometimes not so willingly? Beginning February 3rd and continuing each Wednesday night through March 24th FCC will be offering a number of adult classes addressing how to grow some of the relationships that you have. Below you will find a description of those classes and the dates they will be available. Each class will use principles out of God’s Manufacturer’s Manual for Living (the Bible) and pair them with practical ways you can use them to grow the relationships you find yourself in. We hope you will use these classes to experience “life abundantly” in 2010.

101 Connecting to Fairmount: Connection 101 is a four week class designed for new members, people wanting to know more about Fairmount, and “old-timers” who want to brush up a little on the background of our church.

If you have questions about Fairmount or if you just want to see what we are all about, this is the class for you.

Growing Up As a Child of God: The first and foremost relationship anyone has is with God. As a Christian your spiritual Father expects His child to grow up a certain way. He has expectations of how His child should think, live, and act. The Heavenly Father has laid down these boundaries for our protection and so we can be productive spiritually, mentally and physically. This eight week class will examine how you are to grow up as a child of God and live an abundant and satisfied life.
