EQUIPPING Classes

We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me. — Colossians 1:28-29

Equipping classes are designed to provide Christ-followers with biblical, theological, and practical ministry training. The goal is to equip disciples of Jesus with the knowledge, skills, and character needed to love God supremely, one another humbly, and the world sacrificially.

*Some classes may involve personal study and homework in preparation for weekly discussion and teaching times.

LIFE Group FAQs

We feel that LIFE Groups are an important part of church ministry. They’re the place where ongoing fellowship occurs as we study God’s Word while supporting and sharing our lives with one another. We believe that meeting together on a regular basis is time well spent. Our goal is to have everyone “doing life” together in a LIFE Group.

Turn to Acts 2:42-47   in the Bible to help answer this question.

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in prayers… So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
 

Notice they met in the temple for corporate worship and teaching but they also met from house to house in smaller groups for community. There were four attributes given which describe what they were devoted to on a regular basis:

  • Apostles’ Doctrine (the Word of God)
  • Fellowship
  • Prayer (includes Worship)
  • Breaking Bread (Food)

We are pleased to offer several different Life Groups for all ages and stages. They are available both on our church campus and at homes within our community, on Sundays and throughout the week.

Review the Life Group listing and choose a group either studying the material you’d like to learn or in a place and time that works for your schedule. We suggest contacting the Life Group Leader before visiting them for the first time, to let them know you’ll be joining them and to confirm their schedule for that week.

Lastly, you’re also welcome to contact the church office (818.776.1500) and we’ll be happy to assist you in choosing just the right group for you!

Our desire is to have LIFE Groups meet in homes throughout the week, with 1-2 hour gatherings once or twice a month. The emphasis of these groups includes a study of God’s Word, practical application, prayer, and fellowship. We want these groups to provide an opportunity for further “one another” care, encouragement in personal evangelism, and support for neighborhood outreach events.

Click on a group and hit the “Ask to Join” button. An email will automatically be sent to the LIFE Group leader and they will get back to you just as soon as possible.

We’d love to help connect you to a group that is right for you. Stop by the Welcome Center on Sunday mornings or contact the church office.
