Equipping Hour
Winter 2025 Rotation
On Sunday mornings we have several opportunities to engage with others in fellowship. One of those outlets is though equipping classes that enable smaller groups to learn together and apply God’s Word to different aspects of our lives. The courses are 11 weeks long and change seasonally. If you miss one that you desire to attend, don't worry, most will be offered again at a later date!
First Service | Scripture Memorization and Meditation | Mark Hardy
This class aims to help you grow in the very profitable practices of Scripture memorization and meditation. Together, we will explore the reasons we should memorize Scripture and the many benefits of doing so. In addition, each week we will memorize verses, with class members choosing their own levels of challenge and preferred passages. We will help each other to grow in our knowledge and love of God’s Word!
First Service | Parenting: The Middle Years | GBC Elders
In the first chapter of Proverbs, Solomon cries out, "Hear, my son, your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching." The middle years of parenting (ages 6-12) provide a crucial time for instruction, teaching, and training. Having established a pattern of obedience during the early years, parents can now shift their focus to teaching their children "the full counsel of God". This class will discuss what discipline, instruction, and encouragement look like during this key training phase. We will see how critical it is for parents to grow in their own relationship with Christ as well as deepen the relationship they have with their kids in advance of their teen years. All are welcome, though space is limited and priority will be given to parents with at least one child between ages 6-12. Married couples are encouraged to take the course together, if possible.
Second Service | Building a Christian Worldview | Pastor George
Whether we realize it or not, we all have a worldview, a lens through which we view and understand reality. The question is, do we have the right one? This course will develop a thoroughly Biblical worldview and show how it alone accurately explains reality and enables us to live in God’s world. This course will also evaluate competing the major worldviews, comparing them with the Biblical worldview and exposing their shortcomings.
Second Service | Youth Equipping Hour | Youth Staff
Jr. Higher's are studying through the Fundamentals of the Faith (with Luke Bussey and Rodney Thompson). High schoolers are studying through Forerunners of the Faith (with Kelly Salas and Jeff Curtis). Please join us if you are a student and looking to grow in your relationship with Jesus!
