In the first trimester of 2011 The Westside Church is excited to offer 4 top-notch classes. As usual, these will all take place Sunday mornings before church at the Veteran’s Auditorium. For more information on how these classes are organized, see our FAQs as well as the church’s main site.
Online Registration now available! We have found that not everyone has the time after church to register for a ROCK class, so we set up a way for people to sign themselves up for a class and pay online via credit card.
FYI – You can still register at church, before and after the Worship Service.

THIS TRIMESTER IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN JANUARY 16th
Understanding the New Testament – A Sweeping Overview
Instructor: Mark Shaw
Length: 5 week class, starting March 6, 2011
Start time: 8:45am
Cost is $25 (price includes the book)
Book: New Testament Survey by Merrill Tenney
Have you ever wondered how the letters of Paul fit into the chronology of Acts? Then this class is for you. Have you ever wondered what Jesus’ cultural experience was like – the people, the politics as well as the power of Rome? Then this class is for you.
And the bonus is that we will spend one class focused on the (surprising) single greatest issue that threatened the early church. And it was very likely NOT what you might be thinking.
Every class will be taught from the angle of “what practical lessons can we learn that affect our day to day lives in the 21st century church”.

Are you excited to share the Gospel with your friends? Is it your ambition to learn how to lead your friends through the scriptures and guide them towards salvation? Then this class is for you! We will take you by the hand and walk you through how to help your friends learn the basic Bible studies – that will equip them to make the best decision of their lives. We will offer many practical tips as well as mistakes to avoid.
We are excited about the new study series as it has a few exciting enhancements… The first introductory is called “The Good News”, the study following the Cross is also new and called “New Life”. There are more scriptures in this series on the heart of the matter and the grace of God. It will be a great time to learn the new study series as well as brush up on your own Bible knowledge.
