Biblical Training Center

Biblically-based training designed to strengthen your faith and build God's church by equipping you for service.

Welcome to the Biblical Training Center!

The Biblical Training Center is part of the Discipleship Ministry at FBC. Through a series of intentional classes, our goal is to establish a solid biblical foundation that fosters spiritual growth and deepens our relationship with Jesus Christ. We want to see lives transformed through God's Word and help people to apply Scripture in meaningful, lasting ways.

May Classes - May 10 & 17

9:00 AM - Gospel Fluency

Scott Santmier - Room 2-2

What is the Gospel?  Gospel fluent people think, feel and perceive everything in light of what has been accomplished in the person and work of Jesus. The Gospel is becoming their native tongue because they are growing up in Christ in every way and they are compelled to share that Good News with others.  
God wants you to experience life and the world through the lens of the Gospel – The Good News. This class is just the beginning of your journey to Gospel Fluency – you will be encouraged and equipped to speak the truths of Jesus into the everyday substance of life.

10:45 AM - Practical Parenting

Hunter Mayo - Room 2-2

The digital age has flooded us with endless parenting philosophies. While modern "solutions" sound good, they often fail to address the age-old challenges of the human heart and the practical intersection of Biblical truths and modern family life. Join us for this 2-week class on May 10 and 17. On May 10, we’ll dive into practical Biblical passages on raising young children. On May 17, we will host a live panel to answer your questions on parenting topics and the application of Biblical principles.

Upcoming Summer Classes:
May 31 - August 23

9:00 AM

Intro to Biblical Leadership

Greg Perkins & Tim Sanford - Room 2-1

This class examines the biblical foundations of leadership, exploring God's design for leaders and the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering them. There will be a focus on equipping individuals with the biblical principles and practical skills necessary for effective leadership in all areas of life. This course will provide a theological framework for understanding and practicing leadership that aligns with God's purposes.

Zechariah

Tim Oakleaf & Bo Spires - Room 2-2

As you journey through the Old Testament, Israel’s repeated cycle of rebellion, retribution, repentance, and restoration can feel endless. Does the cycle ever break—and what does it mean for us today?

The book of Zechariah offers a powerful answer. Through vivid visions and prophetic messages, it reveals God’s unified plan centered on the person, work, and future glory of Christ. More than any other Minor Prophet, Zechariah points forward to Jesus in rich, symbolic, and hope-filled ways.

Join us as we explore eight visions and two oracles that not only illuminate Israel’s story, but also strengthen our faith and give us lasting hope and direction today.

10:45 AM

Theology for Life I

Peter LaRock, Mark Carey, & Mike Thomas - Room 2-2

Christian theology can often be viewed as disconnected from our everyday life. Nothing could be further from the truth! A helpful and common way to understand Christian theology is by looking at ten categories of theology that give us a clear, organized picture of what we believe and why it matters. In this class, we’ll focus on five of these categories: who God is, what the Bible says about itself, how God made us, the entrance and effect of sin, and God’s provision of salvation. 

Equipped to Care (6 weeks)

Biblical Soul Care Team - Room 2-3

This 6-week class is designed to deepen your ability to minister to one another within the body of Christ. We invite believers to embrace their calling as instruments in the hands of Christ, learning to give wise counsel and speak the truth in love, no matter where you serve - at home, work, or church!

9:00 AM

Walking through the Word

Micah Doerksen, Mike Thomas - Room 2-1

This Starting Points class is all about helping you see the Bible as one connected story—from beginning to end. We’ll take a journey through the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, exploring key themes and topics along the way. You’ll discover the big picture of Scripture, how each individual book fits into the story, and why it matters for your everyday life. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the Bible, this is the perfect place to start!

Zechariah

Jason and Leila Robertson - Room 2-2

Jason and Leila have been married for 26 years and have four children (ages 15-23). The "secret" to parenting is that there is no secret – it’s a journey of sanctification and discipleship. This class is not meant to be “lessons learned”, but rather the lessons we’re still learning; not a list of tips, but rather themes we are still applying in our family (and wish we’d been more aware of earlier); it’s a time to take biblical truth and discuss how to walk it out in our families. We will share practical advice and honest stories, all grounded in the truth that transformative heart change comes about through beholding and encountering Christ. Join us as we explore how God works through our closest relationships – our families – to help transform us to Christlikeness and how we can participate with God in the process.  
We encourage you to commit to a module (or more) with friends and to use the class as an opportunity to deepen your community within the body of Christ as you study God’s Word and His desires for your family. 

10:45 AM

Supremacy of Grace

Jim Pool, Ryan Andrews - Room 2-1

Ready to go deeper? In this class, we’ll dive further into the content discussed in Walking Through the Word by exploring the powerful truth of 2 Timothy 1:9, which reveals God’s purpose and grace set in motion before creation itself. We’ll journey through the grand narrative of Scripture—seeing God’s heart for humanity unfold from eternity past to eternity future. Come discover just how amazing His plan really is—and why He truly is “the God of all grace” (1 Peter 5:10).

Grace at Work

Joe Houser, Todd Houser, Caleb Pearson - Room 2-2

Paul wrote Galatians to defend the purity of the gospel and to show the power of grace in the life of a believer. This verse-by-verse study of Galatians will show how grace uproots sin, renews hearts, and enables us to keep in step with the Spirit. Each week features close study of the text paired with practical application and discussion, revealing how the grace that opens the door of salvation is the same grace that fuels daily obedience and spiritual maturity.
