Getting Prepared for College

In addition to securing the required finances for college, there are other important needs as well.  Specifically, are you prepared for the various worldly philosophies that will be taught to you as part of your required college curriculum?  Some of these philosophies, like Individualism, Relativism, and Humanism, can be presented by unsaved professors in a manner that can be harmful to your Christian faith.  At RBC, we've developed several courses that will help you prepare for these and other college challenges.  Come join our new Young Adult Bible Study and take part in courses like:

• Apologetics (how to defend your faith)
• Understanding Your Purpose (why you're here)
• Discovering Your Gifts (how you have been gifted to serve)

and many other interesting courses designed to prepare you for your college experience.   

If you're between the ages 18-24, you may join our Young Adult Bible Study.  We meet on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM, in Room 205.
