Equipping Classes

Classes for the Christian Life

Equipped for Discipleship

Equipping Classes form whole disciples for the whole of the Christian life. This is Christian theology for the Christian life.  

Equipping Classes are our adult education hour. They take place at 9 am on Sunday mornings. These classes are designed to equip members to live and think theologically. 

Theology is not simply the study of God, but the living for God with our whole lives. Theology is for every Christian, for every part of our lives. Our heads, our hearts, and our hands. 

Whether it is to know God more deeply, to experience His love more profoundly, or to walk with Him more faithfully, our Equipping Classes intend to "help the body grow so that it builds itself up in love" (Ephesians 4:16).

The Story of Christianity in the West

6.7.26 - 8.30.26 (Chapel)

This class traces the story of the church from the early centuries to the present, following God’s faithful work through seasons of growth, controversy, reform, decline, and renewal. More than simply learning historical facts, the aim of this class is to deepen our confidence in Christ’s promise to build His church. 

Teachers: Cole Penick, Jacob Moore, EJ Roussell, and Jacob Killion
