These weekly meetings provide time and space for Fellows and leaders to share meals, laughter, conversation, teaching, and prayer requests. Roundtables address different topics each week, all related to connecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every aspect of life. Guest speakers from the community share with Fellows and facilitate discussion. In preparation for each Roundtable, Fellows have discipleship homework. Roundtables are scheduled for Monday evenings, 6:00-8:30pm and take place in Sams Hall at St. Andrews Mount Pleasant Campus. Dinner is served at 6:00pm.
LEARNING THROUGH STUDY
Fellows engage in biblical and theological coursework, deepening their understanding of Scripture and God’s redemptive purposes in the world. Through reading, online talks, and written reflections, the Holy City Fellows curriculum helps Fellows comprehend the fullness of God’s plan for the world and how the Gospel applies to all of life. The curriculum is divided into six parts:
PART ONE: The Gospel Story and our Response
The Gospel is the story of how God pursued us through Christ and formed a relationship with us, and how he calls us to respond in faith and obedience.
PART TWO: Draw Near To God
Exploring our personal stories through prayer and scripture to see how Christ offers us freedom and peace through his unfathomable love.
PART THREE: Love The Church
Developing healthy relationships through church, family, and practicing conflict resolution.
PART FOUR: Dating and Marriage
Creating gospel centered dating and marriage foundations. The gospel is foundational for thriving relationships. Exploring the heart change needed to produce the character change by embracing the life-death-resurrection of Jesus Christ.
PART FIVE: Faith and Work
We want to present work through the lens of its Creator. We will ask questions like Why Work? And discover how we answer that question impacts how we work. We will discover how to integrate our faith with our work and use our careers for God’s Kingdom.
PART SIX: Bearing Witness to the Gospel
We were meant to tell our stories. How to share with others your life changing encounters with Christ.
