At New Covenant, we strive for our church family to be always in community and always equipping. We believe that as Christ-followers, we must continually equip ourselves well to Pursue + Practice. Our core Discipleship Classes echo the three phases of our mission statement: Pursue God, Pursue Others with His Love, and Practice His Ways.

DISCIPLESHIP CLASSES

Class sizes are kept small to facilitate a sense of community within the group. We recommend everyone at New Covenant complete these three courses to benefit their spiritual walk. We think it's best to begin with the Pursuing God class before continuing to the Pursuing Others class, as well as the Practicing His Ways class. If you have questions, contact Andrew Boone.

PURSUING GOD CLASS

The Pursuing God Discipleship Class brings opportunities to equip ourselves well to Pursue + Practice, something that all Christ-followers are called to do. The class aims to help you cultivate a personal devotional life that includes Bible study, prayer, and spiritual disciplines. For anyone new to pursuing God through those means, the class will guide you in developing essential skills for your daily walk with God. It also builds on the fundamentals and offers time-tested ways to keep the pursuit of God vibrant and fresh.

PURSUING OTHERS CLASS

In the Pursuing Others class, participants will be equipped with skills for evangelism and discipleship:

Evangelism - those taking the class will learn and practice how to use their testimony to share the gospel. They will also develop some basic skills in Christian apologetics.
Discipleship - the class provides the opportunity to develop the skills needed to help other believers grow in their faith. Throughout the class, participants will engage in rich practice outside of class time and then debrief and discuss how it went with the teachers during class time.

Please complete the Pursuing God class before taking the Pursuing Others class.

PRACTICING HIS WAYS

Practicing His Ways explores what it means to live all of life as worship. Focusing on spiritual disciplines, vocation, family, church life, and cultural engagement, this class helps us grow in maturity by aligning everyday habits with the way of Jesus.

Men's & Women's Bible Studies

Content will vary between book studies or Bible studies based on various topics and/or books of the Bible.

WOMEN'S WINTER BIBLE STUDY

Spiritual Strides: Women's Discussion and Walking Group

This winter, we invite women to join us at Coe College indoor track Thursdays (Dec 11, 18, Jan 8, 15, 22) from 6:15-7:15 PM. We will read two chapters of Jen Wilkin's book "None Like Him" prior to each session and discuss while we walk. This is a great way to meet some new ladies and a casual chance to get movement and discussion.

Study Description:

Sometimes we ask What is God’s will for my life? when we should really be asking Who should I be? The Bible has an answer: Be like the very image of God. By exploring ten characteristics of who God is―holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, patient, truthful, and wise―this book helps us understand who God intends for us to be. Through Christ, the perfect reflection of the image of God, we will discover how God’s own attributes impact how we live, leading to freedom and purpose as we follow his will and are conformed to his image.

Cost: $20
