Is this class right for me?

The class is appropriate and relevant for a wide range of audiences including mature Christians, new Christians, and potentially even those who wouldn’t describe themselves as Christians at all.

Cost

Assistance is available, so please let us know if cost is an issue in the notes section of your registration.
