Class Schedule
Spring 2013: April 7 – June 23
Grace & Forgiveness
April 7 | Keith Osborne
Grace and forgiveness are the two foundational traits of the kingdom of God. They form the foundation for our relationship with the Father and they pave the way for life to be lived in community.
The Father’s Love
April 14 | Scott Jensen & Mike McKinniss
God is love (1 John 4:8). Indeed, the motivation for every act of God is love. Love characterizes the Father’s attitude toward the entire creation, including each individual.
Jesus, Lord & Christ
April 21 | Jenn Beglinger
God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ! It was the fundamental declaration of the apostles (Acts 2:36), and is ours as well. He is Lord and savior of creation and of our individual lives.
The Holy Spirit & The Supernatural Life
April 28 | Mandy Adendorff
Jesus’ Spirit has been distributed among his disciples so that they might continue the mission Jesus had begun. The Spirit of God now transforms us and enables us to look and act like Jesus.
The Gospel of Wholeness
May 5 | Debbie McKinniss
We cannot separate salvation from wholeness, or sanctification. Repentance and forgiveness are the twin paths that lead to spiritual and physical health.
Prayer & The Prophetic
May 12 | Pat Gigliotti
If we are to be the people of God, marked by the character and heart of the Father to accomplish the work of heaven on earth, then we must hear from the throne of God. Through prayer, we share our hearts with the Lord and listen to God’s heart for us.
Character & Integrity
May 19 | Sally Luzietti
It is critical that Christians grow in the character of Christ throughout their lives, displaying the nature of the Savior through relationship with one another. Indeed, character is to be prized over gifting.
Our Story: The Old Testament
May 26 | Pastor Rick McKinniss
God created the world with human beings to steward it righteously. We turned away from the Creator and creation went awry. The Old Testament is the Father’s drive toward redemption through Israel.
Our Story: The New Testament
June 2 | Mike McKinniss
The redemption of the world is accomplished through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. The Kingdom of God expands throughout the world through the church.
Kingdom Economics
June 9 | Pastor Wes & Pam Zinn
We have been blessed by God in order to be a blessing to others. We make ourselves available to God with gratitude and generosity in order to serve the world with the hands of Christ.
Your Value & Connection with God
June 16 | Pastor Bob Switzer
You are unique and are to be encouraged in your specific calling. You will flourish as you connect intimately with the Father through the Holy Spirit.
Wellspring’s Mission & Vision
June 23 | Nancy Riley (Lead Elder)
We seek to be a wellspring of life, encountering the depths of God’s presence and releasing the flow of God’s kingdom.
