Discipleship Classes

Fall Discipleship Studies (starting September 9, 2026)

Wednesday Nights @ 6:00 pm


  • Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

    Often disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. As you walk with him, you’ll begin to identify today’s many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he’s a true follower of Christ when he’s really only trusting in himself. 


    Each character represented in this allegory is intentionally and profoundly accurate in its depiction of what we see all around us, and unfortunately, what we too often see in ourselves. But while Christian is injured and nearly killed, he eventually prevails to the end. So can you.

  • Happiness  by Randy Alcorn

    Do you ever wonder whether God even cares if we're happy?


    This world can be so hard, and we aren't promised an easy road. But that's not the whole story. The Bible is filled with verses that prove that ours is a God who not only loves celebrations but also desperately wants his children to experience happiness. Why else would he go to the lengths he did to ensure our eternal happiness in his presence? We know that we will experience unimaginable joy and happiness in heaven, but that doesn't mean we can't also experience joy and happiness here on earth.


    We will be answering questions like:

    • Why Do We Long for Happiness?
    • Does God Want Us to be Happy?
    • Is God Happy?
    • Is Happiness Unspiritual?
    • What (or Who) Is the Primary Source of Happiness?
    • Can Happiness be Enhanced Through Confession, Repentance, and Forgiveness?  
    • Did God Promise That We'll Live "Happily Ever After?"

  • The Jesus You May Not Know by Dr. David Jeremiah

    The Jesus You May Not Know answers probing questions about the Jesus you may not know.

    • Is He From History or From Eternity?
    • Is He From the Old Testament or New Testament?
    • Is He the Son of Mary or the Son of God?
    • Is He the Teacher of Truth or the Truth to Be Taught?
    • Is He Seeking Us or Are We Seeking Him?
    • Is He Praying for Us or Are We Praying to Him?
    • Is He Doing Greater Works or Are We?
    • Is He Living or Did He Die?
    • Is He Past or Is He Present?
    • Is He King of the Jews or King of Kings?

    Jesus is the mystery of the ages and the marvel of history. He is also personal, and knowable, and He longs for your fellowship. Your life will overflow when the Jesus you may not know becomes the Lord you'll always love.
