Spring Classes
From Joshua to Kings
The history of the people of Israel spans many years. We are familiar with the story of Moses and how he led the people of God to move away from the slavery in Egypt. So, what happened next? Who succeeded Moses, and how did the people fare after they conquered the Promised Land? Who were the “judges” and how did the people turned into a nation? What were the stories? This class will give us an overview of the history of the people of God which presents us many wonderful lessons about life. It is fascinating to learn how God unfold his promises to Abraham.
Date: Wednesday, April 11 - May 16 (** please note the date change)
Time: 7.30pm
Venue: Room A, 8th floor
Membership Class
Similar to the way that we identify with Christʼs death, burial and resurrection in baptism, membership provides an opportunity for a Christian to identify with a local church. God has chosen the church as His medium for spreading the gospel and it is the visible expression of the body of Christ. Island ECC wants to enable those who desire to find ways to be an active part of our local body of Christ and to serve along with us to advance God's Kingdom work. We do this thorough our membership classes.
Date: Sunday, April 15 & 22
Time: 3.00pm
Venue: 9th floor
Book of Hebrews
The Book of Hebrew is an intriguing book. It contains very important spiritual truth about Christ and practical teaching about how we shall live. It teaches us the supremacy of Jesus as the ultimate High Priest and the Lamb at the same time. The Hall of Faith inspires us to persevere in our Christian living. This 6-week class will gives us an overview of the whole book, the important theological lessons of different parts, and also how we as Christian should live out our faith.

Faith Seeking Understanding Series
The Christian faith is a faith that speaks to both the heart and mind. For a very long in history, the study of the Christian faith is the highest academic pursuit one can aspire to. The “Faith seeking Understanding” series is an attempt to tackle tough issues that we face in a logical and reasonable way. We believe that if we are honest to mind, we will be able to understand God in a deeper way. The class is designed for everybody who wants to learn to exercise their mind in order to better understand what they believe.

Divorce Care
Divorce and separation bring deep hurts and raise complex issues that need to be resolved so that the fullness and joy of life can be restored. Rev Jim Smoke, a pioneer in Divorce Recovery, has said, "You can go through a divorce or you can grow through a divorce." The mutual support and concern of others dealing with similar issues can be tremendously helpful in adjusting to one of life's most difficult changes. This support group uses video sessions by experts and facilitators for discussion for both men and women. Come and join with a group of people who are experiencing the same feelings that you are, and who will be able to offer you encouragement.
