Equipping Classes

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.

Current Equipping Class Offerings

Sunday Mornings at 9:00 am

  • Join us as we study 1 & 2 Thessalonians this Fall. Below is a preview for the class adapted from the book To Walk and to Please God

    “1 & 2 Thessalonians…highlight the life cycle of Christian discipleship- turning away from idols, trusting in the gospel message, hoping in the Lord’s promised return, and continually seeking to please the one true God until Christ’s appearing.”

  • In God’s infinite wisdom and kindness, he has not left Christians to simply figure out “church” on their own, but has given us instruction through his Word. Join the pastors as they consider what Scripture has to say about the structure of the church, the importance of church membership, and how all of this serves to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you know someone who would like to participate, please direct them to our website with the link below. Classes will be held from September 6th-October 4th at 9:00 am in Classroom 101 and will cover

  • We continue our study of the New Testament. As we trace God’s plan of redemption, students will be led through portions of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, taught to ask questions and make observations of the text, and guided in learning how God’s Word applies to their lives. Let’s pray for our students as they continue to learn how to study Scripture!
