This class is facilitated by Dave and Carol Cline, JoAnn Hansen, and Lee Cummins in Room #4.

- January Thaw is held during January each year. It is a time for all adult classes to come together to study under an invited speaker. This year Dr. Randy Nelson, Professor of New Testament at Northwestern College, taught during January Thaw. ”From Messianic Movement to Christian Chruch” looked at the books of Luke and Acts to see implications for the modern church of Christianity’s growth from an itinerant Galilean preacher and his loose knit group of persecuted followers to a highly organized religion that would shape the Western World.
