ADULT CLASS DESCRIPTION

Adult Classes meet each Sunday at 9:00a & 10:30a.  They are designed to help you grow in Christ through understanding your faith and practically applying it to day-by-day life.

CORE CLASS DESCRIPTION

We believe every person who is involved at FBG should go through the three core classes at some point. These classes are foundational to helping you know and follow Jesus minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. We offer all three core classes during every eight week cycle and you can take them in any order. You will be encouraged and challenged as you learn through teaching and engage with others in discussion groups. These core classes are for anybody no matter where you are in your journey with Jesus. If you are searching for answers or have been walking with Jesus for generations, these classes will encourage and equip you right where you are. These classes are unique in that once registration is full they are closed for that specific eight week cycle.

CORE CLASSES

Available at 9:00a & 10:30a
STORY | What God Says

We love good stories and are regularly inspired by stories of courage, sacrifice and generosity; especially when these stories are true. God’s story is the greatest story in all of existence. So isn’t it important to make sure we know God’s true story so we can build sturdy beliefs and right practices in our lives? In this core class you will learn God’s story from beginning to end and build a framework for how to dive deeper into God’s story for the rest of your life. 

BELIEF | What We Believe

Our beliefs shape who we are and what we do. They determine the decisions we make about our families, how we choose to spend our time, and what we are willing to sacrifice for. In this core class you will learn the foundational beliefs we hold from the Bible, why we hold them, what they mean and where they are in the Bible. This class will help you grow in the confidence of what we believe as Christians and why.

PRACTICE | What We Do

Who do your actions say you are? The practices of your life are really good indicators of what story you hold as true and what beliefs you have built your life around. In this class you will take a look at the core practices Jesus calls his followers to live out regularly. By the end you will know these practices, have some specific ways to live out these practices regularly and understand how each of these practices help you grow in faithfulness in your relationship with Jesus.

ELECTIVE CLASSES

Creating a Family Crafted Discipleship Plan

Every family is unique and that means that a generic plan for discipling your family will not typically work well.

At the end of the eight weeks, your plan will be made and ready to implement. This plan isn't just for people with kids. It can be built out for empty nesters, grandparents, and single people without kids!

Why Trust the Bible?

The Bible stands at the heart of the Christian faith. But this leads to an inescapable question: why should we trust the Bible? In this class we want to help non-Christians, longtime Christians, and everyone in between better understand why God’s Word is reliable.We will explore the historical and theological arguments that have helped lead millions of believers through the centuries to trust the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

How to Read the Bible for Yourself

Have you ever heard others talking about what they have learned from the Bible and felt discouraged because it does not seem so clear to you? God's design is for you to be able to read the Word and learn what it says as you read it for yourself with the guiding of the Holy Spirit. In this class we want to show you how to read the Bible and enjoy the discovery of what the Lord has for you in its pages.
