The Messiah School of Christian Living is open to everyone in the community to prepare, explore, discern, and practice what God calls each to be and do in the name of Jesus. Participants have a wide variety of choices and may begin with any of the offerings.

Learning Opportunities allow participants to develop a deeper understanding of self and the nature of God, as well as develop trusting relationships with others in the community. These are specific classes that are offered on a rotating basis and are organized around three main topics: Bible/Theology, Spiritual Disciplines, and Practical Applications. Learning Opportunities will be primarily on Sunday afternoons, Tuesday evenings, and Wednesday mornings.

Covenant Groups are devoted to building healthy biblical community where people can appropriately work through new information they gain from preachers and teachers. Covenant Groups are beginning to form around the Body Building Guide. These Guide Groups are small groups that meet for 45-60 minutes each week at various times and locations for fellowship, sharing, reflection, and prayer related to the daily readings in the Body Building Guide.
