DiscipleWorks

DiscipleWorks is our ministry name for Christian growth opportunities on Sundays, Wednesday and other days of the week.  Classes on spiritual development, parenting, marriage, personal finances, Bible background, other religions, and much more are offered.   We offer retreats for couples, and ladies too. You can see the current offerings at the DiscipleWorks Display near the Music Suite. 

Awans is offered for children, age 4 to grade 3 to encourage their spiritual development.  Grades 4 to 6 have Children’s Bible Drill to help their knowledge of the Bible. They enjoy a time of recreation and a snack supper each Sunday at 5:30 p.m.  You can see the current offerings at the DiscipleWorks Display behind the Worship Center near the Choir Room.  You are invited to join any one of the current offerings.  Signup is required to ensure there are enough materials as well as appropriate space for the course.  For some courses there will be a material fee. 

We welcome suggestions that believers need for development in their walk with Christ.  A suggestion box is on the DiscipleWorks desk.

The BodyLife Journey is an intentional discipling process for new members and new believers to help them in their walk with Christ through our church.  This course will help and encourage new believers/members to:

·        Understand church membership;

  • Discover their new identity in Christ;
  • Grow in their relationship with Christ;
  • Develop meaningful relationships; and
  • Invest their lives in personal ministry through service in our church.  Each will complete a Personal Action Plan in the areas of:

-         Worship

-         Bible Study

-         Relationships

-         Ministry Support

-         Discipleship.

  • Learn how their Relational Styles, Spiritual Gifts, passions, and experiences equip them for ministry; and
  • Find their place in a ministry.

BodyLife Journey is a course that every believer needs!  Usually, this is by invitation only to new believers/members, but church members are welcome as spots are available. This 3 hour course is offered about three times a year.

Awana is offered each Sunday for children, age 4 to grade 3 to encourage their spiritual development.  Grades 4 to 6 have Children’s Bible Drill to help their knowledge of the Bible. All the boys and girls enjoy a time of recreation and a snack supper each Sunday too.  Their activities begin at 5:30 p.m.

If you would like to attend or if you would like more information on any of these courses, programs or events, please contact Steve Shumake through email at sshumake@ftc-i.net
