What is this? To fulfill our vision to Win, Build, Equip and Send, we believe we must teach the Word of God. The Word of God has all that we need for life and godliness, and apart from studying it, we cannot grow in our relationship with the Lord. So we are offering classes that will lead us systematically through the Word of God. These classes will be during our normal Sunday school hours, and also on Wednesday evenings during the Jr. High and Awana programs. We want to offer the classes during these times, so that we can make them available to as many people as possible while there are programs for the rest of the family provided. Pastor Matt and Pastor Mike will be teaching Bible classes with the following goals: 1) making it understandable 2) making it practical. These classes are open to everyone as a normal Sunday Morning Equipping Class, or Wednesday night Bible Study. For most of us, this will simply be solid teaching and training in the Word of God. We highly encourage you to attend the classes so that you will be equipped for every good work, and prepared for life and godliness. For others, they can take advantage of a new benefit—they will be able to earn credit toward a Certificate or Degree in Biblical Studies. We are partnering with Tyndale Theological Seminary & Biblical Institute in order to offer this benefit. The reason we are doing this is because we have a number of individuals in our church who desire to someday serve the Lord in missions or another ministry. By taking our normal Sunday school or Wednesday evening Bible classes, they will be able to earn the certificate or degree they need to enter that ministry! This allows them to study here at the church and apply the Word of God to their lives here. They can continue at their current employment, and in their current ministry roles at the church while earning a Bible college education. This has tremendous benefits for those individuals, and for our body of believers! Others find benefit in taking the classes for credit because it gives them more discipline and accountability in studying and growing in the knowledge of the Lord. Back to the top What can you earn?
