Training Classes

Discovery

Discovery is our 3-week membership class, offered about four times a year (typically in February, May, August, and November). This is the first class required before taking any of the other training classes. Membership is also required to be baptized/confirmed, to serve as a volunteer and to join small groups in our church. We hold a high standard for membership for the sake of accountability and commitment.

Panorama:

Old Testament 1 & 2

Divided into two parts, this series consists of two separate 8-week classes:

• Part 1: Covers Genesis through the Divided Kingdom

• Part 2: Covers the Divided Kingdom through the book of Malachi

This class provides a panoramic overview of the Old Testament's historical background and redemptive history in chronological order with the lens of covenant theology.

Panorama:

New Testament

This 8-week class covers the entire New Testament, beginning with the intertestamental period (the “400 years of silence”) and continuing through the book of Revelation. The course explores the historical background and redemptive storyline of the New Testament in chronological order with the lens of covenant theology.

Christian Life

This 14-week class offers a series of topical studies on various aspects of the Christian life. We cover topics such as sexuality, marriage, abortion, money, success, the problem of evil, politics, church polity, and more.

• Part 1: 7 weeks

• Break: 1 week

• Part 2: 7 weeks

Table Talk

This 12-week class is for YM parents and YM students who must take the class together (as parent and child). We cover various topics consisting of a lecture time and a "table talk" discussion time between the parent(s) and YM child(ren). The class is designed to help restore broken "tables of conversation" and instill biblical values within the home, in order to build healthy Christ-centered families.​
