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.

New Man in Christ

Scott McManigle, Ryan Andrews, & Ray Mead - Room 2-1

The Bible reveals an incredible truth: all believers are new creations in Christ! Because of what Jesus has done—and not anything we have done—our identity is forever changed. These truths aren’t just facts to know; they are meant to transform how we live. In fact, as we’ll see this is God’s design woven throughout Scripture. This class will deepen your understanding of what God has accomplished and how it shapes our lives, highlighting His unchanging declaration of who we are in Christ.

The Shadow of Things to Come

Christy Voelkel - Conference Room A  (women only)

In the midst of his letter to the Colossians, Paul makes the statement that the Sabbaths, New Moons, and festivals are "the shadow of things to come." What does he mean by that, and why would he mention them in his letter? With what issue were the Colossians grappling? Join us for an in-depth study of the Sabbaths, New Moons, and festivals, and see how they speak of the future for us as well as the Colossians.

Romans

Scot Keen & Joe Houser - Room 2-2

Romans is packed with essential truths about what Jesus has done for us. This letter dives deep into core doctrines like human sin, justification by faith, the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, and the hope of future glory. In this verse-by-verse study of Romans, we’ll unpack these powerful themes and explore their significance for how we live, think, and relate to God. Come join us as we discover the life-changing message of Romans together!

Bible Study Methods

Bo Spires & Tim Oakleaf - Room 2-1

In our present day, there is a dire need for believers to be equipped to "handle accurately the Word of truth" so God's message can be understood and communicated rightly (2 Tim. 2:15). Bible Study Methods is a Starting Points class designed to equip believers with the essential skills for interpreting the Scriptures. You will learn simple principles of observation, interpretation, and application using a variety of study methods.  Join us as we explore powerful Bible study techniques that will transform the way you read and apply God’s Word, so that you can confidently study for the rest of your life. 

Philippians

Tim Sanford & Ben Sanford - Room 2-2

Where does joy come from? When life is difficult and at times overwhelming, is there a place for believers to rejoice? The gospel provides the foundation, but in Philippians, Paul teaches that our identity as citizens of heaven transforms how we live today, producing humility and unity. This is conduct worthy of the gospel and truth that brings stability to our hearts and minds. Join us as we seek to know and have the mind of Christ.

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!
An optional supplemental resource, "Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands," will be available for $10 - cash or check.
