These seminars are designed to prepare you for membership with Crown of Life, guide you through spiritual maturity, and/or help you to discover your ministry SHAPE.  Each seminar is dependent on the previous one, so that you start with the basic CLASS 101 and advance to the more intense CLASS 201, 301, 401, etc.   The seminars end with pizza dinner and fellowship!  Classes usually begin at 1:30 p.m. at the COL Ministry Center.

CLASS 101 (Discovering a Church Family)

Usually meets the 2nd Sunday of each month.  This is our Membership Seminar taught by Pastor Rick, CLASS 101 is the place to start if you're wondering what Crown of Life is all about!  It prepares you for membership at Crown of Life.  We've designed this class, using a PowerPoint presentation, as an afternoon-long introduction into what we believe, who we are, and where under God we are going.  It covers the basics including what our goals are, our purpose, organization, and structure.  Following the seminar, you will be invited to join our family of faith at Crown of Life, although you don't make any commitment just by attending the seminar.

To help you study the Bible, consider this anecdote:

Peter the Barber once asked Martin Luther how he, an ordinary kind of guy, could read the Bible with profit.  Luther answered, Ask yourself:

  1. What does God tell me here?

  2. What makes me glad?

  3. What makes me sad?

  4. What do I want to pray for?

Try it in your bible reading today!  These Bible reading series are designed to take you through the Bible step by step.  If you don't start in January, it's OK.  Feel free to jump in and start anytime!

As Christians, our spiritual strength and nourishment comes from our Lord and Savior through daily prayer.   James tells us to "pray without ceasing, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you".
