Discipleship
The discipleship process is more than teaching people the right knowledge about God. A disciple models him or herself after someone. Making disciples of Jesus goes beyond teaching facts about Jesus. It means teaching people how to know and be like Jesus — to obey God and seek His best for their lives.
A message about Discipleship & Level Up from Pastor Jim Webb:
When I combine the reminder of discipled education in our faith with the vapid expressions of spiritualism in our modern world; It creates a challenge within my heart. I have expressed this challenge with our company of pastors and various committees all of which agree that there is a need for expanded Christian education uniquely now. They also agreed that we are all in different places of growth within our discipleship journeys. What may challenge and satisfy one group may not be what is needed for others. We are at different levels of need for lack of a better term. From this discussion and collaboration, the concept of ‘Level Up’ was revealed. So, with this idea in mind, our Christian education format will begin a new adaptation to all classes based upon levels of teaching.
Levels are L1, L2, L3, and L4
which reflect the diversity of our membership
and their journey in discipleship.
Please see the schedule below for current offerings.

​Growing Up in Christ: The Means of Grace with Pastor Emeritus Bob Dooling
Level 3
Sundays from 11:30am - 12:30pm
Room 100
On the day I was baptized, the pastor asked this question. Do you intend to make diligent use of the means of grace. I of course answered, “Yes” – even though I had no idea what he was asking.
Sometime later, I discovered that he was referencing a handful of practices that are found in Scripture and that promote spiritual growth in Christian believers. They are habits of devotion, habits of experiential Christianity that have been practiced by God’s people since biblical times.
Come join us as we explore and celebrate these classical disciplines.

"The Problem of Pain" with Pastor Larry Shores
Level 2
Sundays from 11:30am - 12:30pm
Room 117
Pain is a perennial challenge in this broken world. Why Must We Suffer?
“If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?” And what about the suffering of animals, who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it? The greatest Christian thinker of our time sets out to disentangle these knotty issues. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C.S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungering for a true understanding of human nature.
​
This class will read and discuss C.S. Lewis's classic. You may purchase your own book or let us know and we can order it for you a cost of $10. Those needing a scholarship for book, please let us know.
