  • Weekly

We've never been less physically present in the lives of others, including people in our church families, our workplaces, and our neighborhoods, and much of this was occurring even before the Pandemic. This class will explore the significance of God's presence and ours. How is God present with us? How does this inform the way we should think about our own presence in this world? Grounded in biblical theology, we'll discuss topics such as God's presence, the theology of the body, digital formation, and the implications for the local church. This class will be co-taught by Michael Roop (Creekside) and Chipper Flaniken (City Church).
