Living Faith Seminars
Our goal with Living Faith Seminars is not just to teach on a certain subject, but to practice living out our faith in that area in order to joyfully become Biblically Obedient, Intentional Disciple-Makers, Unashamed Ambassadors, and Sacrificial Servants.
Beginning Fall 2026, we are offering 5 seminars across 4 quarters.
You do not need to register in advance or purchase any materials for these courses. Simply attend the seminar you would like to begin with at the start of each quarter.
Sep. 2 – Oct. 7 (6 Weeks)
Wednesdays | 6:30 – 7:30 PM
God created each of us for a purpose. “For we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).
Becoming a Servant uses the PLACE experience to help you learn how God has uniquely designed you to serve. Through biblical equipping and personal assessments, you will discover how God uses personalities, spiritual gifts, abilities, passions, and experiences to give every believer a ministry. Our goal is for you to know your design and discover how God has called you to serve Him and others.
C104 | Facilitated by Rev. Tim Hawkins, Discipleship Pastor
Leadership is followership. Leading as those in Christ is inseparable from our union with, and following of, Jesus. This seminar will examine biblical and theological foundations for leadership, outlining characteristics and practices of a qualified leader. We will also explore leadership and followership in the family, community, marketplace, and the church.

A Study in Ecclesiastes
The culminating class of Living Faith Seminars
April 1-22 | Room C101 | 6:30 – 7:30 PM | Facilitated by Dr. Shane Parker
*No class on April 8th
Consider all of life’s messy circumstances and difficult experiences. Now think about your dominant pursuit—to find enduring happiness. Is it even possible to experience a genuinely joy-filled life? If so, where, and how could we uncover this rare jewel? The Book of Ecclesiastes demands that we honestly consider life and contentment, perhaps in a uniquely eye-opening manner. During our three-week study, we will explore and apply the truths of Ecclesiastes to the complexities and experiences of our day-to-day lives.

Culminating class of Living Faith Seminars
Apr. 2 – Apr. 23 (3 weeks)
6:30 – 7:30 PM
C101
*No class on April 16th due to spring break
Paul’s Letter to Philemon reveals that living faith involves a joyful commitment to Scripture, disciple-making, servanthood, and evangelism. Our study will challenge us to consider:
(1) how Scripture must shape our actions;
(2) the significance of interceding for others in prayer;
(3) how seeking reconciliation reflects Christlike service; and
(4) how recognizing gospel transformation compels us to declare the gospel and intentionally devote ourselves to discipleship.

Exploring the Essentials of Biblical Manhood

Through this BetterMan study, you’ll experience more than information—you’ll experience formation. Men leave with biblical clarity about who they are, what they’re called to, and how to lead with courage, humility, and conviction. You’ll build real brotherhood with other men, confront the lies and passivity that keep men stuck, and walk away with practical tools to become a stronger husband, father, leader, friend, and follower of Christ.

Knowing Him
The Attributes of God and Everyday Life
Jan. 3 – Apr. 24 (17 weeks)
6:30 – 7:30 PM
Fellowship Hall
A.W. Tozer notably wrote “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” To think about and truly know God shapes everything else that we think (and how we live, based on those thoughts). How we envision and approach life, relationships, family, school, work, recreation, decision-making, even sickness and death, are a direct result of what we believe about God.
So, what comes to your mind when you think about Him? This study will allow us to better understand God, in all his glory, and genuinely consider aspects of our daily lives in light of who He is. Our approach will be biblical, theological and practical, so that every one of us might live more faithfully everywhere, every day.

Connect + Grow
Confident in the Face of Hard Questions
As Christians, we find ourselves in a position where simply knowing what we believe is not sufficient. We must now also know why we believe it and why what we believe is the truth. This study looks at prominent questions individuals in secular society use to attack the Christian faith. Additionally, it equips believers with a way of understanding why biblical beliefs are true, along with an apologetic for standing strong against the untruths hurled against them. What the Bible teaches is true, and every Christian should put themselves in a position to express that truth in their words and through their daily lives.
- Does It Really Matter Which “Truth” I Believe?
- Is Jesus the Only Way to God?
- Won’t All People Ultimately Go to Heaven?
- Is Hell Real?
Oct. 25 – Nov. 15 (4 Weeks)
6:30 – 7:30 PM
B201
Led by Tim Hawkins, Discipleship Pastor. This study is ideal for anyone new to Riverland Hills or seeking a group Bible study experience. Studies are interactive and everyone will be encouraged to participate but not pressured. No homework, but reading your Bible is highly recommended. Open for all adults and you’re welcome to join any Wednesday night or Sunday morning!
