There are plenty of images in our Christian culture about heaven – a city in the clouds, pearly gates, streets made of gold, a mansion in the sky – as well as hell – the devil with a pitchfork, unquenchable fire, weeping and gnashing of teeth. But what does the Bible say about death and the afterlife? What are the different words used for “heaven” and “hell” that are spoken by Jesus and written by Paul in the New Testament? Who’s in and who’s out? And why does it matter?
Join Rev. Tammy Heinrich for this four-week study in fellowship with our Fair Haven community at our Gessner Road campus as we explore a confusing and intriguing topic! We will use the Bible and “Death and the Afterlife in the New Testament” by the Rev. Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles. The style of the class is lecture format, with plenty of opportunities for questions and lively discussion.
The class will begin on Monday, July 14, in the Trinity Center at our Gessner Road campus and continue weekly through Monday, Aug. 4, 2025. The course will be offered in-person and by zoom and recorded each week for those who miss a session.
