 City Church Connections:
Foundations
Bible Baseline
 This is a nine week course that will be
taught on Sundays during the 11 AM sermon
time. Each class starts as the children are
dismissed from the worship service, and
lasts a little less than one hour.
The
purpose of the class is to provide a survey
of the Christian faith. It is open to
everyone, whether or not a part of Anchorage
City Church. It is led by Dr. Jim Strutz.
The class meets in Room 103, which is just
across the hall from the main auditorium.
 There is no registration fee. Students
should bring a Bible and a notebook or pen.
There is no examination. Class discussion is
welcome. These Baseline classes are taught
three times a year.
The "Foundations" courses
are designed like the foundation of a
building. These Bible Baseline
classes are like the poured concrete which
forms the building footer. Extending the
analogy, the Bible
Truths classes are like the individual
concrete blocks which are carefully laid on
the footer to complete the foundation. Once
a solid foundation is laid deep in the
ground, a straight, tall building can be
raised.
