EQUIPPING HOUR CLASSES

Sundays @ 9:30am - 10:30 a.m.   


Adult equipping opportunities come in various forms (classes, small groups, and seminars) to help us grow as we are transformed into the image of Christ. Scroll down to explore the possibilities below. Accountability happens in the midst of relationships as we connect with one another in small group settings or while in the midst of serving.  

We live out our faith in practical ways as we engage in service in our church, community, and the world, bringing honor and glory to God. Visit our SERVE page to learn about the opportunities to use your gifts and talents for God's Kingdom. If you don't know your gifts or want to confirm them, check out this gift discovery tool.


It is our personal contact with others wherever we are that provides a witness of our faith that draws others to Christ.


Care for our church family happens through hospital visitation, shut-in visitation, prayer ministries as well as in the context of our home and ministry groups as individuals care for one) another.

Classes offered here at First Church reflect the church’s vision of “Raising disciples of Jesus Christ." These classes are designed to "equip and nurture individuals who love and serve God with all their being and one another as Jesus loved, and who carry life to everyone they meet."


We offer classes for: 

      Enrichment ... Empowerment ... Transformation ... Fellowship

Our intent is to offer discipleship classes, seminars, and encounter experiences that will equip First Church disciples in the full range of core discipleship competencies. We believe that these core competencies are essential skills and knowledge that every disciple needs.
