Things Are Moving Forward
Here’s the schedule for the upcoming RHBI spring session. This will be a light session, but don’t take that to mean that we’re winding things down. We have exciting plans for the fall session (10/11 – 12/6) as well as for 2012. For the moment, however, we decided to keep the spring session light since Easter was especially late this year and it pushed RHBI into the summer.
Simplifying
RHBI has a lot going on in the background. To help simplify some of that, the registration process will change this session. We’re no longer offering pre-registration. Instead, you’ll register in class by filling out a form that will get sealed in a provided envelope with payment. Please bring either a check (made out to RHCC) or exact change. Instructors will not have change for cash payments.
One side effect of this change is that we will no longer offer the $25 pre-registration discounted price. The price for a class is $35. But don’t fear, if cost is ever an issue, you can take advantage of the Harle Damon scholarship (full and partial scholarships are available). No special action is required for the scholarship. Simply check the appropriate box for the scholarship on your first night of class and either make a partial payment (if possible) or take advantage of the full scholarship. You don’t even have to explain the circumstances of your need – we work on the honor system.
You’ve probably also noticed that the RHBI website is quite a bit simpler than before. Don’t worry, this is just a starting point. I’ve changed platforms and I’m recreating content. The hope is that this new platform will make it easier to keep everyone up to date (you might have noticed that the old RHBI website was often out of date).
Cost
Each class is $35 per person. Early registration discounts are no longer available. Full or partial scholarships are readily available. There is no special requirement to take advantage of the Harle Damon scholarship; it’s honor based. Simply pay what you can for the class (including nothing). We do ask, however, that if you take a book under the scholarship that you commit to doing the class work as well as completing the reading assignments. Registration will take place the first night of class.
Up Coming Class Schedule
Below are the classes being offered. Classes start May 10th and run through June 28th from 6:30pm through 8:20pm. Childcare is available.
- Christianity and Cultural Hot Buttons, Andy Noch & John Thill, Room 293 (Main Campus)
Pastors Andy Noch and John Thill will team up for this course which takes a Christian world-view at cultural hot buttons such as abortion, gay marriage, stem-cell research, relativism and other subjects. The course will include video teaching segments by Greg Koukl, Norman Geisler and Paul Copan. The goal of the course is to help Christians develop a biblical worldview and to charitably articulate that view with others in society.
- Marriage Revival, Rob Orr, 296 (Main Campus), moved to Conference Room (Main Campus)
This course offers an exciting, challenging & potentially life changing walk through God’s design for marriage as revealed in Scripture. It will focus on understanding & learning to rely upon the resources God has given us for a healthy & joyful marriage, with a special emphasis on the role of agape love, the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, prayer, fellowship, forgiveness, & intimacy. It will be taught in a small group setting, with time for interaction, questions & a discussion of the practical application of God’s timeless truths to our lives & marriages.
