This course defines what it means to be a growing disciple and introduces the six keys of discipleship and helps participants identify where they are at in their discipleship and where they would like to go next. A key component of the course is for participants to be introduced to some of the leaders, ministries and facilities at Holy Cross. The Basics Class provides opportunities for the participant to ask questions about Holy Cross and to get connected in meaningful Christian relationships. We suggest that anyone wishing to join Holy Cross take this course to become familiar with the Mission and Ministry at Holy Cross. This class covers: Week 1: Exploring God's Means of Grace Through the Sacraments Week 2: Growth Through Worship & the Word Week 3: The Importance of Fellowship Week 4: Service and How God Has Gifted You for Ministry Week 5: Stewardship: It All Belongs to God Week 6: Witnessing: Identifying Your Mission Field Week 7 & 8: Brief Introduction to Exploring Faith Ministry Classes are in Room 102 @ 9:30am on Sundays, and are held twice a year.
