Wayfinders
Imagine being out in the woods with nothing but a compass. Along the way, your journey may take some twists
and turns around mountains and rivers, but ultimately, your compass continually guides you. So when we think
about our lives of faith, what guides and orients us? In this course, we’ll embark on a journey to assess (and
re-assess) what we hold as central to our Christian faith. We’ll also accompany one another as we learn (and
re-learn) how what we believe impacts our lives, society around us, and the church.
