Our Bible classes are designed to align with the church’s mission to make disciples who make disciples. A definition for disciple is extracted from Matthew 4:19: “And He *said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Follow me: A head decision to be like Jesus
I will make you: A heart willingness to be changed by Jesus
Fishers of men: A hands commitment to join the mission of Jesus
Our classes will each be labeled according to which of these elements will take the lead.

Fishers of men: A hands commitment to join the mission of Jesus
Our classes will each be labeled according to which of these elements will take the lead.
- A head-oriented class will be most like a traditional Bible class, learning new things.
- A heart-oriented class will be more experiential, with a focus on life changes and spiritual disciplines.
- A hands-oriented class will aim to train and equip, with elements of practice built into the class itself.
