Equipped Studies

Home » Equipped Studies

Equipped Studies provide a wide range of ministry and discipleship opportunities for our church body each spring and fall. We realize that families are busy during the week with school, work, sports and recreation, social events, and a variety of other commitments. So we have opportunities nearly every night of the week to fit your schedule. Our Equipped Studies have three main goals:

  • Community – We want to strengthen our sense of community as a church
  • Mission – We want to work to accomplish our Gospel mission in our community and around the world
  • Transformation – We want to be transformed by God’s Word through various forms of discipleship

Community Bible Study – The Gospel of John

(for men and women)

Written from the perspective of the “disciple whom Jesus loved,” John proclaims the Lordship of the Christ whom he loved in return that all who believe may have life in His name. Join Pastor Nate Wednesday nights at 6:30 in the Worship Center for an in-depth journey through the Gospel of John

Veritas Wednesdays

(Middle/High School Students)
Wednesdays beginning Aug. 19, 6:30 PM at the Edge

Throughout the New Testament, the Gospel advanced through the church’s witness, especially in leaders like Paul. But do you ever feel like you lack a fiery urgency to share the Gospel? Have you become comfortable being silent about the greatest news? Does guilt keep you from being bold in your faith? Join us for our fall series called “Advance” as we follow Paul’s journey in the book of Philippians to see how the guilt-crushing grace of Christ propels our passion to advance the Gospel wherever we go.
