Foundations 1


What is Foundations 1?

Foundations 1 is one of the places we grow deeper in our faith together. This course is a 10-week course designed to close the gap between our current Christian experience and move us toward becoming more mature followers of Jesus Christ. This course will provide foundational teachings to the Christian faith, opportunities for corporate prayer and worship, small group discussion, 1:1 discipleship, and more! It doesn’t matter if you’ve grown up in church or recently started walking with Jesus. We pray that this next step will be impactful for you and those in your sphere of influence.

 

These statements will help you better understand if Foundations is your next step:

• I’m prepared and willing to take on the necessary scripture memory work and homework in Foundations.

• I’m ready and open to allowing the Holy Spirit to convict unrepentant sin and allow the Foundations leadership team to speak into my life.

• I’m ready to receive the truth of God’s Word regardless of my past experiences & former teaching.

• I’m ready to grow & move from where I am to a deeper relationship with God & His church.

• I understand that by registering for Foundations, I’m committing to completing a 10-week course and cannot miss more than two weeks.

• You have the option to take the class In-person or virtually.

• The spring class will begin January 14th - March 17th, registration is now open. 

• Child care is available for an additional $50 per family.


What is confirmation?

Confirmation is a formal process that validates and authenticates a person’s experience. It occurs when the pastors and elders of a church lay their hands on a disciple to validate and impart a further blessing. Confirmation is a definite mark of progress in the disciple’s life.

We desire to see everyone confirmed in the faith through the laying on of hands by our pastors and elders. Although someone may commit to the weekly study and fulfill all course requirements, confirmation of graduates will depend upon each student’s heartfelt acceptance of the truths taught in the course as communicated through discussion, home study, interview, and demonstrated obedience. Those engaged in wilful and ongoing behaviors contrary to the clear teaching of Scripture, what the Bible calls sin, may complete the course requirements and graduate but will not be confirmed. The expectation is that students show humility and an openness to the teachings of Scripture and have a heartfelt desire to turn from sin and receive wisdom and counsel on the next steps toward right living.

Foundations 2:

Instruction is based primarily on the following:

• Relevant scriptural passages
