Biblical Training Center

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

December 8 & 15, 2024

Coming Soon:

When to have a phone?  How much screen time?  The practical questions about technology and young people abound. In order to really discuss a biblical approach to technology, we need to start with a biblical approach to identity.  This 2-week class will begin with a biblical consideration of ‘identity," then address technology and how it interacts with, informs, and complicates our understanding of our identity.  
While especially relevant to parents, this class should be fruitful for anyone grappling with the issue of technology.  

Spring 2025 Classes - Starting January 5

Why Did the Christ Have to Suffer?: Participate in the Road to Emmaus Discussion

Mike Thomas, Butch Holliday, John Elyard - 9:00 AM
Did Jesus benefit from his suffering? We know WE benefit, but do we contemplate how He benefits from it and how knowing these truths affect our lives? On the road to Emmaus Jesus explained this to the two disciples as he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself. Luke 24:26-27.
Join us as we look through the Old Testament at why Jesus had to suffer before He entered HIS glory. Transform your thinking from a self-centered to a Christ-centered view of life.

Complete in Christ: A Verse-by-Verse Study of Colossians

Joe Houser, Micah Doerkson, Ben Sanford - 10:45 AM

This verse-by-verse study of Colossians will focus on the theme of Christ’s supremacy over all things and His sufficiency for all things. We will explore the importance of living a life rooted in Christ, recognizing and resisting false teachings, and being who God has declared us to be. Through in-depth study and practical application, you will gain a deeper understanding of the richness of the gospel and its relevance for today's believers.

God's Highway Project

Christy Voelkel, Conference Rm. A
(Women Only) On the eve of her Babylonian exile, God gives Israel words of consolation to bring her mentally and spiritually through the trials ahead. Join our discussion of Isaiah 40-66 as we look at God's model in preparing a way for the return and restoration of His oppressed, abused, exiled people and apply it to our own experience.

The Gospel of John

Bo Spires & Brad Den Hartog, Rm. 2-2
Jesus lived an abundant life. So much so that He claimed, “… I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10b. Jesus Christ, despite His circumstances, lived an abundant life and He desires the same for you! Join us as we explore the Gospel of John and discover how you can live life and live it abundantly!

New Man in Christ

Scott McManigle & Ryan Andrews, Rm. 2-1
Christians all over the world are plagued by an “identity crisis” that has led to much confusion on “how” to live the Christian life. Most Christians think they must “do” in order to “be” but, God’s word teaches the exact opposite. That we “do” because of who we “are” in Christ. The purpose of this class is to help take us to deeper levels of faith and confidence in the fact that, who we are as a child of God, has been determined by the blood of Christ and power of God and not by anything that we “do.”

10:45 AM

The Book of Amos

Tim Oakleaf, Rm. 2-1
Amos has a lot to say about who is really in charge of world events, and how it will all work out in the end.  Here are some questions for our consideration: What impact does moral relativity have on a nation and its culture/society? What happens to “the remnant”? Are “the silent” held accountable? Ever hear of “spiritual leprosy”? What are the limits to God’s patience? Would you like to get a peek into the future?  We will have some fun learning about Amos and his prophesy, while at the same time taking away some things about Israel’s status and God’s character.  My prayer is that we will see God’s Word, as delivered by Amos, turned into Living Water. If that happens, it will impact our walk with God, our church, our community, …and who knows what else!

Discipleship Foundations

Tim Sanford & Drew Sanford, Rm. 2-2
What does it take in order to grow in Christ? In this class, we will look at the foundations that contribute the most to that maturing process. We will grow in our confidence that God can use each of us in the life of another person as we help them grow, even as we are growing too. We don’t have to be perfect but rather simply maturing in the Lord ourselves to be used by God in the life of another. Come join us as we discover what contributes to a healthy, mature disciple of Christ
