Winter Semester Begins February 2

6–7:30pm

We invite you to …

see more of God’s work in your everyday life and relationships,

better express what you believe for yourself and those who want to know,

develop closer Christ-centered relationships in tight, focused gatherings, and

get equipped to become a more effective mentor, creator, leader, partner, parent, and friend.

We choose an area of study we think will make us better able to live the kind of life Jesus wants for us.

We get together with people who feel the same way we do.

Courses will include table-based discussions and focus on practical application.

Those of us who want to grow in our faith don’t always know what steps to take. And though we attend church on Sunday, it can feel like a meaningful and compelling Christian life is just beyond our grasp. 

That’s why we created Honour Academy. It features targeted topic-based courses designed for groups of people who want to grow in faith, connect more deeply with others, and become more like Jesus. We offer expert-led classes on how to understand the Bible, strengthen your relationship with God, practice your faith in daily life, and better engage with the world.

The Bible is a tapestry of diverse literary genres, each offering unique insights and layers of meaning. Understanding these genres—whether prophecy, gospel, or apocalyptic literature—enhances our ability to engage deeply with Scripture. 

In this course, we’ll examine three distinct Biblical texts: a prophetic passage from Isaiah, a gospel account from Matthew, and an apocalyptic vision from Revelation. Together, we’ll explore what these texts communicate, uncover their historical and theological significance, and reflect on their relevance in our lives today. Through close reading, thoughtful discussion, and genre-specific analysis, this course will deepen your appreciation of the Bible's literary richness and spiritual impact.
