Rimrock Growth Classes
Growing in our Understanding of God’s Truth
Through our Growth Classes we hope to bring fuller understanding of God’s Truth to your walk with Jesus Christ. . . to give you the Biblical foundation for addressing those times when life presents you with a need to know or chance to grow moment. With an ultimate goal of all of us enjoying our “whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”(Eph 4:12-13).
So what are Growth Classes????
· 10 Week Long Classes (Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions) meeting generally on Sunday mornings at 9:01 and 10:31 AM. Classes are offered each hour to provide you a chance to discuss God’s Truth in a smaller group setting.
· Balanced Diet of Instruction - - a variety of topics are being offered to address many interests and needs with the desire to encourage/train you regardless of where you are in your walk with Christ. Studies will range from building the foundation to practical discipleship to sending you out to your mission field (neighborhood, workplace, family, etc).
· Practical Interactive Teaching - - the smaller, informal environment is a great place to ask questions, get to know others, and wrestle with making God’s Truth applicable to everyday life. A lot of prayer and thought has been put into the curriculum selection to bring the most relevant, potentially life-changing portions of God’s Truth into your life.
· Easy to Join - - don’t wait for a new class session to begin; jump in whenever you want. They meet on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights since this normally is our “church” time and there is ministry for your kids and teenagers.
· Cross Generational - - to help gain the experience from age and the energy of youth, Growth Classes will not be life-cycle focused but open to anyone regardless of age, marital status, gender. It is a great way to meet other Rimrockers.
