GENESIS: THE BOOK OF BEGINNINGS (no charge; 15 weeks)

Sundays 8:00 a.m., B207, begins 2/1/26, Dan Crabtree

How did it all begin? Planets, gravity, earth, oceans, light, darkness, evil, murder, cities, nations, languages, government, and the story of redemption – it all begins in the book of beginnings, Genesis. God’s Word opens the story of everything with God the Creator who unfolds for us the meaning of life, the world, and all its creatures, great and small. From the first man to the first sin to the first sign of a Savior, Genesis reveals to us how and why things are today by a glimpse at the origin story of it all. This class will walk verse by verse through the first book of the Bible in order to marvel at God’s narrative of first things. Join us on Sunday mornings at 8am as we begin in the beginning, studying through the book of Genesis.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FAITH ($10/ person; 13 weeks)

Sundays 8:00 a.m., B209, begins 2/1/26, Adam Proveaux

Whether you are a seeker, new believer, or a Christian wanting theological grounding, Fundamentals of the Faith explores the basic questions: Who is God and what is He like? How can Jesus be 100% God and 100% man? What is salvation, why do we need it, and what is necessary for salvation? This course uses The Fundamentals of the Faith (Moody Press) curriculum, audio messages by Dr. John MacArthur and classroom discussion to build believers and future leaders at Immanuel. The Fundamentals of the Faith is Immanuel’s flagship course, since it thoroughly explains what we believe, and is strongly recommended for every Immanuel member.

WALKING WITH GIANTS: CHURCH HISTORY IN THE PURITAN ERA (no charge, 12 non-consecutive weeks)

Sundays 9:30 a.m., B207, begins 2/1/26, Alex Hairgrove

The Puritans were spiritual titans. The 17th century ushered in massive political and religious upheaval, and that turmoil became the seedbed for the growth of these redwoods of the faith, the non-conformists of the British Isles. You’ve probably heard the names John Owen, Samuel Rutherford, Thomas Watson, and John Bunyan. This spring, you’ll get to meet them and glean from their lives the heavenly-minded courage that compelled them to faithfully preach the glories of Jesus Christ. Join our march through church history by delving into an era of spiritual giants, the time of the Puritans.

THE ART OF MARRIAGE ($25/ couple, 8 non-consecutive weeks)

Sundays 9:30 a.m., B209, begins 2/8/26, Bobby and Sheila Little

Whether you have been married one year or fifty years, every marriage can use a tune-up. We forget why God brought us together in the first place. We lapse into selfish patterns that need a fresh reminder of the power of the gospel. We need reminders to keep our roles sharply in focus.  We need help when communication fails. The Art of Marriage, an outstanding DVD series by FamilyLife is taught by the best Weekend to Remember speakers. It uses both gripping and humorous testimonies and vignettes to teach you the art of investing in love for a lifetime. This course is for married and engaged couples of any age.

GRANDPARENTING WITH GRACE ($15/person, 10 weeks)

Sundays 11:10 a.m., B209, and Wednesdays 7:00 p.m. via Zoom, begins 2/1/26, Kirk Streitmater

How do we regard grandparenting from a biblical and theological perspective? How does that affect you as a grandparent? Beyond making fun memories with your grandkids, do you understand your gospel role in their life? How do you reach them for Christ? How do you support the parent’s role, even when you aren’t on the same page? This course is designed to be part of a focused effort to encourage, enable and inspire the intentional engagement of grandparents to support the parent’s role of raising God seeking, fearing and following children. It will cover worldviews, intentional prayer, family relationships and grandparenting in today’s culture. Grandparenting with Grace uses Larry McCall’s book of the same title.

THE GLORY OF ISAIAH (no charge, 15 weeks)

Wednesdays 7:15 p.m., B207, begins 1/28/26, Dan Crabtree

This spring, The Glory of Isaiah class will continue studying through Isaiah together, verse by glorious verse. On Wednesday nights, the class will show how Isaiah speaks to us today about the saving glory of God in every area of our lives. The prophet extols the sovereignty of God, both now and forever, over his own people and all the nations. He preaches the powerful promises of God for the coming global kingdom, bringing comfort to the broken and rest to the weary. And at every step, Isaiah’s eyes are fixed on the incarnate Holy One of Israel - the Branch, the Vine, the Teacher, the Servant, the King - Immanuel himself, Jesus Christ. Sign up to join us for an epic study through the prophecy of Isaiah. The class will split time between teaching and table discussion. Childcare is available.
