The Bible calls us, in 1 Peter 3:15, to “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” That said, the goal of our Equip Classes is to do just that; to supply you with the tools and teaching necessary for having a vibrant and thriving relationship with Jesus while we work out our faith in our world.
Equip classes that meet on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM. for kids, students, and adults (Pre-K all the way through senior citizens!). Plus, babies and toddlers have a cool place to hang out with caring, background-checked adults during our Sunday morning classes.
Our Kids and Student Equip Classes are on a three year journey through the entire Bible. Each week they dive deep into the big story of the Bible—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ, and see how the entire Bible is one beautiful story of redemption.
Each session of Adult Equip Classes we will look to offer the following types of classes….
Application Classes which tend to be more topical, help-based studies that tackle what the Bible has to say about the struggles of daily life. How does the Bible impact parenting, marriage, overcoming sin struggles, navigating relationships with people, etc. Think practical application theology.
Foundation Classes that are meant to form, fortify, and frame your understanding of the Christian faith. What make us Christians and how are we to understand the Bible? Whether you’ve been a Christian for 10 minutes or half a century, what you believe about God influences how you live, interact with others, and where you spend your time. Let’s build our foundations strong so we can live with our confidence in Christ.
Growth Classes are aimed at helping us grow deeper in our faith. We all struggle with feeling spiritual stagnant at times where our faith walk becomes routine. How do we be more intentional in our walk with God? That’s what these classes will tackle. How to grow deeper in our faith, freer in talking about our faith, able to engage in theology in deeper ways that lead to a fresh and vibrant relationship with the Lord where we are continuously growing into His likeness.
