In January Dwell will be offering the class, Survey of the Bible, taught by John Cleary. John answers some questions about the class, and shares why you should consider taking it:

What is Survey of the Bible? 

John: Survey of the Bible? Snooze alert--why even consider it? Our familiarity with the Bible may not necessarily bring satisfaction, delight, or daily usefulness. You are familiar with a soccer ball—but that doesn't mean you really enjoy kicking it around. We all have g...

Dwell’s College Connection event is coming up in a few weeks, giving high school juniors and seniors a taste of Dwell’s college ministry. It can be a critical experience for students who are making significant decisions about their future.

The end-of-year holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve) can be the most  wonderful, joyous, and hopeful times of the year. But many times it is our family and friends who give the holidays special meaning. So after the death of a loved one, holiday celebrations can go from joyous occasions to tedious events that must be survived.

But there is hope! The Dwell Grief Ministry will provide a 90-minute workshop,...

How do you resolve questions about the problem of evil, how God and science can coexist, and how God is portrayed in the Old Testament?

This fall Dwell is offering a 5-week apologetics class, “Reasons to Believe,” looking at these questions and how they can be answered, but, beyond that, how those answers can lead to more confidence in Biblical Christianity. 

Doug O’Malley is teaching it. He says these topics are explored in Dwell’s Leadership Training Class, LTC, but he thoug...

For many months Sarah, along with fellow Endeavor Home Church members, operated the ministry out of her home, collecting donations and setting them up like a store, so people could shop for wh...
