Discipleship Classes

Powerful things happen when believers pray together: the Spirit equips the saints for ministry, the helpless are met with help, and believers experience the joy of being led by the Spirit of Jesus. This 10-week Discipleship Class, A Praying Church: Becoming A People of Hope In A Discouraging World, will help us to learn how praying alongside other believers–as children asking their Father for help–can transform communities into beacons of hope. Through personal stories, biblical examples, and helpful charts we will be given encouragement and practical strategies to implement the practice of praying together in your own communities.

How do our doctrinal positions at PCC inform our understanding of the complex topics and issues of our day? Varying questions surrounding topics like Race, Gender, Sexuality, Baptism, Creation Order, Charismatic Gifts, Sanctity of Human Life and many others can all cause us to wonder how the convictions of our faith relate to these topics? This 5-week discipleship class, Complex Issues Within the Church & Culture, will spend time unpacking our Major Doctrines & Doctrines with Scriptural Latitude & Statements on Contemporary Cultural Issues document. This time will serve to encourage and equip our church family to hold to the convictions of our faith in an ever-changing cultural moment. Despite these changing conversations and questions, the truths of the gospel hold as a sure foundation for those in Christ.

Are you a man who is exhausted from the constant pressures of life, loneliness, and a feeling like you will never measure up? Could there be a better way? This 8-week Discipleship Class, Authentic Manhood: A man and his biblical design, will serve to help men discover a healthy vision for manhood and what it looks like to live out who men are called to be in Christ. This class, hosted by the PCC Men’s Ministry, is intended for men only. It will serve to offer clear, practical, biblical insight on God’s design for manhood that is both refreshing and inspiring. We long for all men to see a gospel-centered vision of life that sets them up to enjoy God’s grace as they pursue the promises of His Word.

Babies grow. Plants grow. Christians are also intended to grow. But how does that occur? This 8-week Discipleship Class will address this important question head-on. Dane Ortlund (author of Gentle and Lowly) answers this question by taking us Deeper into the reality of our union with Christ. Sanctification is not just increasing in knowledge about the Bible, or doing more “good things,” but going deeper into the simple gospel truths that we first believed when we came to know Christ. This study will enable you to more fully embrace your identity in Christ as you journey together with other followers of Jesus.

Do you know how to share the hope of the gospel with a Muslim friend? In this 8-week study, Nabeel Qureshi leads us on a journey into Muslim culture through the story of his own life. He also explains how his own objections to Christianity were answered, showing us ways we can lovingly point Muslims to the reality of the gospel. Nabeel’s compassionate approach helps us understand the core doctrines of Islam and ways to share Christ persuasively with our Muslim friends, co-workers, neighbors, and classmates.
