Everyone is encouraged to voice their opinion in a supportive and non-threatening atmosphere. As the name of the class suggests, the Christian walk is a “journey”, not an event. As we journey, we gain a deeper understanding of Christ’s teachings and become closer to Him, accomplished through learning and study of interesting and challenging topics. We are each at different stages along this life-long path and we each travel at a different pace but are all brothers and sisters in Christ and treat each other accordingly.
