LCC SUMMER SESSIONS

June 7: Ageless Service: Unlocking Your Potential to Serve God (Colleen Jumper)

• At its heart, discipleship is about learning to live like Jesus. It’s a journey shared with others—through community fellowship, quiet moments alone with God reading scripture and praying, and by serving those around us. This lifelong dedication knows no age limits; everyone, no matter where they are in life, can join God in His amazing mission. When people of all ages come together, they create a beautiful mix of wisdom and energy that enriches both the church and the wider community. Truly effective service comes from a heart willing to embrace new roles, no matter your age. In this workshop, we’ll explore what the Bible says about serving, talk about common barriers that might hold us back, and rediscover the joy and purpose that come from serving in ways that fit our unique interests and talents.

 

June 14: Discerning AI: Theological Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence (Trey Hardimon)

• Artificial Intelligence is rapidly shaping how we live, learn, and relate, but how should followers of Jesus think about it? In this class, we will explore AI through a theological lens, asking thoughtful questions about technology, humanity, and the character of God. Together, we’ll examine what Scripture and Christian tradition have to say about wisdom, creativity, ethics, and the limits of human innovation. Rather than simply accepting or rejecting AI, this course will equip you to engage it with discernment, faithfulness, and a renewed vision for what it means to be made in the image of God in an increasingly digital world.

 

June 21: Progressive Christianity: Understanding the Shift and Responding Faithfully (Daniel & Kelsie Koch)

• This class explores the rise of Progressive Christianity, examining why it matters and how its key ideas—such as a diminished authority of Scripture, the elevation of personal experience over objective truth, and the redefinition of core doctrines—reshape the historic Christian faith. Participants will be equipped to discern these shifts and respond thoughtfully, holding fast to a biblical understanding of truth, love, and the gospel centered on sin and redemption.

 

June 28: Navigating End Times: What to Know About the Second Coming (Andy Turner)

• Jesus said that if He goes that He will return again. What does that mean for us? How should we prepare? What do we need to know? Join us on June 28th as we talk about how Jesus’ second coming impacts our lives.

August 9: Faith in the Workplace (Mike Vaughn & Cheryl Fields)

• ​Come and learn how to see work as worship, integrity, service, and witness, not just a paycheck or a platform for self-promotion. Scripture teaches that work is done for the Lord, that our conduct should adorn the gospel, and that our words should be gracious and ready to give reason for hope.
