Sunday Morning Discipleship Electives
Winter 2011
College & Career Class
We will continue our study of growing into Christlikeness as outlined in 2 Peter 1:5-7, as well as topics relevant to our Chrisian walk and purpose.
Becoming A Woman of God
This class for young ladies between the ages of 13 and 18 focuses on the crucial need for developing character and abilities that girls need to face their futures with confidence. Some topics will include: developing a disciplined walk with God; developing a close relationship with your mom; cultivating Godly relationships (friends, influences, courage to stand alone); developing manners, etiquette, and hospitality.
If you would like the support and prayers of other Christian moms as we train our daughters to become women who love and honor God, this class is for you!
Woman to Woman
This class will continue to study the women of the Bible, challenging the faith of participants through examining their walk with God. Join us as we discover the “who, where, when, and why” of their lives and how God used them for His specific purpose. We are learning how He helps and sustains His people, including each of us!
Becoming Men of Renown
This class for men and young men is divided into three sections:
1) The right mindset to overcome the flesh in Christ “Out with the Bad”
2) Developing habits and a right heart with new vision “In with the Good”
3) Get a life long vision for turning good into great
Our goal is to charge each of the men in our class to forsake evil and pursue good with men who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Re-Starting Class
This course utilizes video presentations and class exercises designed to further and deepen knowledge and experience in personal spiritual and emotional health as well as ministry to others who are hurting. Class size will be limited for the effectiveness of the material used. A required pre-requisite is having completed the Caring for the Heart training offered by the Owens. Please see Pastor Johnston to enroll. A workbook is required, which may be purchased by individuals or couples.
What Does the Bible Say?
This class will examine Old and New Testament passages that deal with a variety of topics such as: creation, life, liberty, property, worship, work, wisdom / knowledge, business / entrepreneurship, education, politics, capitalism, socialism, and competition. There will be practical applications that affect any and every calling. The class will also look at a variety of historical events and see their impact on these topics. “Seest thou a man diligent (quick and skillful) in his business (calling or ministry)? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean (obscure) men.” Proverbs 22:29.
Learning To See Life From a Better Perspective
This class focusses on getting the Bible, the Church, and God back into the center of life focus. Believers today must contend for the faith and preparation for this involves replacing the adopted secular and humanistic mindsets with a worldview centered on the Word of God. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Through the use of graphics presentations, this class will seek to map and review several current worldviews and attempt to eliminate and replace them with Christ—centered worldviews in such a way that they become mindsets not easily forgotten.
Think we are losing the battle? Feel like our country and our world are falling apart all around us? Does it appear that everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes? Have the world’s philosophies undermined the Bible? Is there anything that we can do to stop it from falling apart? Join this class to explore a better worldview, to gain perspective, to seek to make sense of it all.
Discipleship Hour Nurseries
Some individuals may choose nursery service during the Discipleship Hour from 9:45 to 10:45 AM each week. We are in need of both infant and walker nursery workers and assistants. Anyone signing up for this must be at least 18 years of age. This is not a long-term commitment, but only for this elective semester.
Led by David Hadden and Pastor Doug Huggins
