The C.L.I.M.B.

The C.L.I.M.B. is the “Christian Learning Institute for Maturing Believers”

A ministry of Hope Fellowship Church, the C.L.I.M.B. is designed to help people become healthy, mature followers of Christ. Courses and seminars are offered to provide training and instruction in understanding the Bible and living out the Christian life. The core courses are directly related to the main points of the church’s mission statement.

Our Mission
"To help people learn to know, love, serve and share Jesus Christ while being a family beyond the family."

Course offerings for June - August 2007

Managing Life: The Stewardship of All of Life

Led by Dr. Dennis Dewey

Everything we have and everything we are has been entrusted to us by God – our resources, time, abilities, body, and mind. How we “manage” all of those things is important to God. In this class, we will look at how we can do that successfully for the glory of God and the good of mankind.

Little House on the Freeway: Help for the Hurried Home

Led by Curt Myers

Does it seem you’re always in a fast-forward mindset? This study will address that challenge. About this book, Billy Graham says, "Hurry and busyness are everyday parts of modern life.  True priorities of things that matter most may be lost. Little House on the Freeway offers biblical insights and principles to our hurried existence--help from the Word of God for the life being lived in the fast lane."

Bible Book Study: Jonah

Led by Pete Richardson

The prophets of old were spiritual men of God—much more mature than we are…right? Well, not always. Jonah had some struggles of his own; and his struggles can help us learn. Are you ever tempted to head in a direction that is different from what God wants? Struggle with feelings of prejudice or bitterness? Get upset by petty things and get priorities misplaced? Join the “Jonah Club.” (Join this class, too.)
