About
The goal of our Bible for Life classes is to make disciples by rightly understanding and applying God’s Word to every aspect of our lives.
Join Us Sundays at 9:15am
Our Bible for Life classes are designed to give a comprehensive understanding of God’s Word that can be applied in every part of life.
We invite you to look over these classes and prayerfully consider which class will most help you as you continue growing in Christ.
Current Classes
Bible Study
A Study in the book of Matthew
God’s messianic promise fulfilled in Jesus, Son of David, Immanuel: The only hope for the spiritually destitute and only foundation for the redeemed. A call to the exercise of faith in view of the promises and warnings of The Christ.
A Study in the book of 1 Thessalonians
In Paul’s 1st letter to the Thessalonians, he commends them for their steadfast faith, hopeful anticipation of Christ's return, and their love for one another. This class will examine Paul’s history with them and how he served them and modeled pastoral love. While they were continuing to grow in their faith, we will discover how Paul challenged them to grow even further. This practical letter encourages all believers to excel in love, anchor our hope in the reality of the resurrection, and urges us to take the steps necessary to prepare us for the Lord's return.
External Journey
discovering Christ
This class takes the core concepts of the Gospel of Mark and relates them simply and directly to people who are not yet Christians. The class content is not meant to be exhaustive or deeply theological. Instead, it gives the simplest and most straightforward explanations of the facts of the gospel, what is necessary for sinners to be forgiven of their sins and spend eternity with God in heaven. The class is primarily designed for non-Christians, especially those who are basically unfamiliar with Christianity, and secondarily for existing Christians who desire to learn how to go through the gospel of Mark with an unbeliever.
Church planting: Next Steps
While anyone interested in FBC's upcoming church plant is welcome to attend, this class will focus on equipping Parkside Baptist Church's initial membership as we prepare for a September 15th launch. We'll discuss Parkside's mission, vision, and values, learn more about membership and what worshipping together will look like, review our governing documents, develop our outreach strategy, get to know each other better, and more! If you're planning to be a core team member of Parkside, please make every effort to attend this class.
Internal Journey
Made in the image of God
Who am I? A Biblically accurate answer to this question teaches us what we were made for, provides clarity on the devastating consequences of sin, and then causes us to rejoice as Christ conforms us to His Image. Come join us for a 7-week study on what it means to be made in the Image of God.
