Core Classes:

Class Expectations
At The Institute, our prayer is that God would not only teach you more about Him but also transform you from the inside out. As usual, we ask each student to arrive on time, be prepared and be present at ALL scheduled classes. Some of the best learning comes from conversations had by students in the classroom. In addition, you might have reading assignments that will need to be completed at home.
The Summer Seminars will be offered on two different dates, June 10th and July 22nd. The $15 cost per class covers dinner, childcare, and class materials. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at institute@crosspointcity.com
