Center for Faith and Culture offers flourishing classes
01/04/2023
The Center for Faith and Culture's inaugural season of personal flourishing courses continue for the spring semester. Taught by local pastors and Jewell faculty on faith as it relates to literature, science, politics, the arts, music, health, finance and Biblical studies, sessions are four weeks each, offered on campus or at a Center for Faith and Culture partner congregation. One course is virtual.
Each class is unique, taught from the perspective of flourishing and faith from each faculty member’s discipline. Alumni and friends are welcome to participate. Classes are $45 each, or free for members of our four partner congregations and Jewell students and staff.
