The Church’s Role in Restoration
Taught by Brian Dorini & Tracy Troxel | Adult Education Room
God’s grace means that we have hope even when we struggle against sin. How should the church respond when its members struggle with temptation and sin? In this 5 week class, we will explore how God’s Word presents a vision for a church community of grace that cares for us when we struggle but also helps us to repent. While you may have heard this described as church discipline, it is actually a blueprint for restoration.
