Equip Courses Starting the Week of August 10th

These live-only online sessions are designed to encourage real-time engagement and active participation. Unlike pre-recorded video lessons, these classes will be interactive, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions, discuss material, and learn together in real time.

While relationship-building events thrive best in a face-to-face environment, Equip sessions are centered on content delivery and discussion—something that can be done effectively in an online format and this move allows us to open the door for more people to join in. Schedules can get hectic, and this gives our church family the flexibility to participate in meaningful spiritual growth without always needing to be on-site.

“Cults and Non-Christian Religions” with Fox Zimmerman 

Tuesdays, 7:00pm–8:00pm

Not everything that sounds spiritual is true-and not all ‘Jesus talk’ points to the real thing. From doomsday prophets to door-to-door theology, the world is full of belief systems that look and sound convincing-but lead far from the truth. In this course we’ll explore the claims of cults and world religions, how they differ from biblical Christianity, and how to respond with both clarity and compassion. Whether you’re curious, cautious, or just love a good plot twist, this class will equip you to spot the fake and stand firm in the truth.

“Optimistic About Endtimes” with Barry Zimmerman 

Mondays, Noon–1:00pm & 7:30pm–8:30pm

Not all end-times views involve fire, fear, and disappearing people. What if the future isn’t all doom and gloom? This course explores postmillennialism-the view that the gospel wins, the church thrives, and history is headed somewhere good. We’ll trace its surprising historical roots, unpack its biblical support, and honestly tackle the critiques. Whether you’re a prophecy buff, a hopeful skeptic, or just tired of end-times panic, come discover a vision of the future that might just change how you live in the present.

“Well, That’s Your Interpretation” with David Hough 

Tuesdays, Noon–1:00pm

The Bible isn’t a choose-your-own-adventure book. Ever heard someone say, ‘Well, that’s your interpretation’? In this fun and practical course on hermeneutics (a fancy word for interpreting Scripture), we’ll learn how to read the Bible faithfully, clearly, and without turning every verse into a fortune cookie. From genre and context to common mistakes and helpful tools, you’ll gain confidence in understanding what the Bible actually says-and how to help others do the same.

“Monsters, gods, and Weird Things” with Dennis Blaisdell 

Wednesdays, 9:00pm–10:00pm

Giants. Sea dragons. Talking animals. Divine council meetings. Wait… what? The Bible is full of strange and surprising things you may have skimmed past-or never heard in Sunday School. This course dives into the weirdest corners of Scripture: Nephilim and cherubim, Leviathan and Behemoth, ‘gods’ that aren’t really gods, and prophetic visions that sound like sci-fi. But these strange stories aren’t just entertaining-they reveal deep truths about God, evil, and what’s really going on behind the scenes. If you’ve ever wondered, ‘Did that really happen?’ or ‘Why is that in the Bible?’-this class is for you.
