Classes and Seminars
We live in a time of unprecedented access to books, online classes, and podcasts from experts and thought leaders on any topic. While this is exciting, we know we weren’t made to go it alone. We want to engage with others as we learn, especially when it comes to our faith.
At Redeemer East Side, we offer a range of classes designed to help you grow spiritually as you connect with others. These classes are taught by Redeemer pastors and staff who are passionate about equipping you to follow Christ’s call where you live, work, and love. We hope to see you in class soon!

2022-23 Classes
Sunday Bible Study: Making Sense of the Christian Scriptures
Register | Sundays starting September 11 at 11:15 am at Temple Israel Room 64
The Bible can be overwhelming whether you've been a Christian for a while or you're just curious about God's word. In this Sunday Bible study, bring your pen, paper and your questions. We'll come together to walk through God's word, and gain tools to see what God is revealing in his Scriptures. Together, we'll better understand how it all fits together and points to Jesus.
20s & 30s Bible Study
Register | Sundays starting September 18 at 9:30 am at Temple Israel Room 65
What does the Bible have to say to us in this particular season? Join us to read and discuss the Bible and how it applies to our everyday lives. We meet at 9:30 am on Sundays at Temple Israel. Bring a Bible and something to take notes on.
From September 18 to November 20 (breaking October 2 and 30), we will focus on Relationships: A Mess Worth Making with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Lois Kehlenbrink.
Neighborhood Advocate Cohort
Contact Iain Coston to register | Sundays Sep 25-Dec 11 and one full Saturday
Put what you know about loving your neighbor into action through this 12-week cohort that promotes change through worship, discussion and action. Participants will work together to build mutual relationships, serve justly, and bring the hope of Christ with neighbors nearby and in need.
Premarital Seminar
Register | Saturday, October 15, February 11, or May 13
Getting married? Just considering it? Plan on attending Redeemer’s Premarital Seminar. You don’t have to be engaged to participate in the seminar. Even if you’ve just begun considering the possibility of marriage, this is a powerful way to discover whether you should continue in your relationship. This seminar is a lively day of biblical teaching on marriage, exercises that help a couple learn more about each other, and ending with a time of Q&A. This seminar is required if you wish to have a Redeemer pastor officiate at your wedding.
Dating Panel
Registration Coming Soon | Sunday, October 30 at 6:30 pm
