SChool of faith and theology

At Imago Dei, we believe discipleship is a lifelong journey of being formed into the image of Jesus. Through learning & practicing the way of Jesus together as a church community, we want to become people who increasingly reflect the life and love of Jesus.

One of the primary ways we learn and grow together is through our casual class environment called the School of Faith & Theology, intended for everyone from those new to the faith or the life-long Christian.

Our classes are designed to help you grow in both the knowledge and love of God.

Our Annual Rhythms

Core Classes (throughout the year)

These are the foundational classes we want everyone in our church to have the opportunity to experience. These include teachings on baptism, the Bible, and our core beliefs & practices as a church. Offered regularly throughout the year, they help us build a shared foundation for following Jesus together.

Summer Studies

Each summer, we make space to slow down & explore topics that help us follow Jesus more faithfully. Summer Studies vary from year to year and draw from every area listed below.
