Friday Classes
Holy Dating
Trace & Jenna Lee
Holy cow! Dating can be so overwhelming and confusing! However, with the understanding of the purpose that God has for each of his people, we can more fully understand the purpose of dating, setting us up for success. That’s the desire for this class: to clarify the purpose, provide Scriptural principles, and offer freedom through the design that God has always had for his people.
Ministry Spotlight: Encompass Campus Ministry
Zac Wolfe
In this breakout class, Zac Wolfe, the campus minister at Encompass, will be sharing the what, why, and how of campus ministry planting at Ohio University over the past year and a half.
Evangelism You Can Do
Dylan Kirkland & Trish Wilkerson
We all want to share our faith with others, but most of us probably feel like we don’t know how. In this session, you’ll learn why and how to share the Gospel with those God has placed in your life. Evangelism is something you can do!

Real Connection in a Digital World: A Counselor’s Real World Guide to Friendships
Doug Smith
Have you ever felt alone, lost, or completely disconnected even though you may have more digital friendships than you can count? In this breakout class, we’ll take a look at what real-world God-centered friendships look like and what it takes to move toward real-life connection.
Christian Witness in a Politically Divisive Age
Ben Brinkerhoff
This class is not about politics – what policy, party, or politician to vote for. Rather, in this class, we hope to cultivate a Christian posture towards our politically divisive age. How do we hear God’s voice amidst the political messaging that swarms around us?
