Equipping Groups exist to equip believers for life and ministry through Sunday morning classes focused on biblical studies, theology & doctrine, and practical discipleship.
In Ephesians 4:12, Paul encourages pastors to equip Christians so that they can do the work of the ministry. In other words, he wants believers prepared to live in this world as faithful disciples of Christ. The purpose of Equipping Groups is to work toward this goal, and we achieve it by offering courses that delve into three tracks of study: Biblical Studies, Theology & Doctrine, and Practical Discipleship. During these classes, a few teachers instruct our members and guests on particular topics, which change every quarter.
We encourage you to attend one of these groups! We offer Equipping Group classes at both 9:00am and at 10:45am, so that you can attend either one of our worship services. Below is a schedule of where they meet and the specific topics taught each quarter. If you have any questions, please email our Equipping Pastor.
We also offer one Liberty Students Equipping Group at 10:45am for students in the 6th-10th grade. For information about what we provide for children from 6 months through 5th grade, see our Liberty Kids page!

+ Biblical Studies Track
Topic: Genesis
Location: Fellowship Hall A
Teachers: Joseph Kester
Description: A story's beginnings introduce key characters and plotlines. Genesis is no different. In 50 chapters, Genesis lays important foundations for God's global story of His glory: creation, humanity, sin, promise, redemption, and a set-apart people. As creatures made in God's image and new creations through union with Christ, Genesis orients us toward rejoicing in Jesus, the promised Offspring, and following Jesus, the conquering King, through whom all peoples of the earth will be blessed.

+ Theology & Doctrine Track
Topic: Minor Prophets
Location: Fellowship Hall B
Teacher: Jeremy Schwinger
Description: The Spring Session of this class will be an in-depth, verse-by-verse study of the book of Micah. Micah speaks to a vast array of topics, delving powerfully into issues of sin, justice and repentance, but also containing extraordinarily detailed prophecies about Christ's First and Second Comings. Throughout the text of this prophet are strewn many gems of knowledge and application, and its messages, though originally recorded in the 8th Century BC, still ring out with great potency for us today.
