During Spring Break HSM will be going to New Mexico to minister to the Navejo reservation.  We will be working alongside the churches their to serve their community.

Registration forms are available at the Refinery.

Spaces are filling up, so don’t miss out!

We start our brand new series called "Q" this weekend in HSM. Here are the topics for the next 3 weeks. Look out - this stuff is PERFECT for a friend to be exposed to. Invite someone!

Why Any Serious Religious Quest Should Begin with Christianity
The goal of this talk is simply to persuade people that if they seriously want to know truth, then Christianity is the place to begin. The following reasons make this clear: 1) Christianity is testable; 2) Christianity offers free salvation; 3) In Christianity you get an amazing worldview fit; 4) Christianity has Jesus at the center. This is a great talk for a skeptical or non-believing audience.

Understanding Intelligent Design
In this session we will explore the most recent scientific data in cosmology, physics, biochemistry, and biology that point toward an Intelligent Designer. David was right that the heavens give us knowledge about God (Ps 19:1-2). Those who open their minds to the possibility of an explanation beyond the natural world will find the design hypothesis best accounts for the scientific evidence. This talk is based upon Sean’s book Understanding Intelligent Design (co-written with William A. Dembski)

Why the New Testament Can be Trusted
In this session students will be challenged to consider how accurately the Bible has been preserved through history. Research indicates that the Bible is more reliable than any other ten documents from ancient history. We will explore internal and external evidence supporting the reliability of the New Testament.

Here's the fun countdown video for The Sex weekend teaching series the past two weeks. Stay tuned for a special encore performance of The Sex, week 1 for small groups in the coming weeks. Thanks for all of the interest in this series!
