An Evangelistic Vision for Work

On June 26th, we will kick off our series by thinking about how we share our faith in word and deed in our places of work. There are so many questions as we consider this topic. Does private faith even belong in the public square? Should we be concerned about HR issues in bringing up faith conversations? How can we walk in wisdom and faith so that we don't put up stumbling blocks to the Good News of Jesus Christ? How can we build trust and make natural connections with our co-workers?

Join us and professionals from various industries to think deeply about these questions and explore answers together. We'll start with dinner and connecting at 6:00 with content at 6:30.

Join us for a Men's Summer Grill Night on Wednesday, June 25th, from 6:30–8:00 PM at the Yohpe’s (1333 South Troy Street, #1)! This will be a great opportunity to connect, build community, and enjoy meaningful conversations. Whether you're new to HTC or have been around for a while, all are welcome. We hope you’ll come spend the evening with us!

Food will be provided, please bring a drink to share!

In a culture of confusion about gender identity and sexuality, Scripture gives us a clear and compelling vision of humanity as the pinnacle of God’s creation. As those who have been created in the image of God and adopted into His family, our lives testify to a confused and watching world of God’s good design for human flourishing.

This 5-week course seeks to ground us, the family of God, in a redemptive theology of gender and sexuality, and discover how we live this out together.

Mon, Feb 10 and Mar 10 | 6:00-8:00pm at HTC

Mon, Feb 24 7:30-8:30pm via Zoom

plus recorded sessions

Join us this Sunday, February 9th, for our Partner Ministry Fair! We will welcome partner ministries who work throughout the city to meet tangible needs and lift up the name of Jesus. Please plan to come 30 minutes prior or stay 30 minutes after each service to learn more about their work and find out how you can get involved!

Whether you are new to reading the Bible or have been studying it for a while, many of us struggle with where to start or how to interpret the text. Like all literature, there are basic principles for reading that help us to understand.

This 7-week course will teach core principles for understanding the original setting, various genres, how God's Word applies to us today, and how to effectively communicate the Word to others.

Sundays, Feb 2 - March 16

11 AM - 12:15 PM at the HTC Office
