Equipping Groups exist to equip believers for life and ministry through Sunday morning classes focused on biblical studies, theology & doctrine, and practical discipleship.
In Ephesians 4:12, Paul encourages pastors to equip Christians so that they can do the work of the ministry. In other words, he wants believers prepared to live in this world as faithful disciples of Christ. The purpose of Equipping Groups is to work toward this goal, and we achieve it by offering courses that delve into three tracks of study: Biblical Studies, Theology & Doctrine, and Practical Discipleship. During these classes, a few teachers instruct our members and guests on particular topics, which change every quarter.
We encourage you to attend one of these groups! We offer Equipping Group classes at both 9:00am and at 10:45am, so that you can attend either one of our worship services. Below is a schedule of where they meet and the specific topics taught each quarter. If you have any questions, please email our Equipping Pastor.
We also offer one Liberty Students Equipping Group at 10:45am for students in the 6th-12th grade. For information about what we provide for children from 6 months through 5th grade, see our Liberty Kids page!
9:00AM Adult Equipping Groups
+ Biblical Studies Track
Topic: The Book of Jonah
Location: Fellowship Hall A
Teacher: Pastor Tyler
Description: The book of Jonah contains one of the most well known stories in all of the OT: Jonah being swallowed by a big fish. Unfortunately, that’s all some people know about the book. But what is the message of the book of Jonah and how does it apply to the church today? Join Pastor Tyler as he teaches verse by verse through this ancient book, addressing these questions and exploring the Biblical themes of true repentance, ironic reversals, and God’s undeserved mercy and grace.
+ Elective
Topic: Exploring Membership
Location: Liberty Students Room
Teacher: Pastors
Description: In God’s infinite wisdom and kindness, he has not left Christians to simply figure out “church” on their own, but has given us instruction through his Word. Join the pastors as they consider what Scripture has to say about the structure of the church, the importance of church membership, and how all of this serves to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
10:45AM Adult Equipping Groups
+ Practical Discipleship Track
Topic: More Than Money
Location: Fellowship Hall A
Teacher: Pastor Joseph
Description: “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” This truth should lead us to ask: "How can we wisely steward the good gifts that God has given us?" This class aims to equip members of LBC to faithfully reflect God's generosity in every aspect of our lives. Join Pastor Joseph as he leads us in considering what Scripture communicates about financial giving and how we manage our spending, debt, possessions, time, health, abilities, and more.
+ Liberty Students Track
Topic: The Gospel Project: Overview of Exodus
Location: Liberty Students Room
Teachers: John Rhee and Trent Blake
Description: We continue our study of the Old Testament. As we trace God’s plan of redemption through Exodus, students will be led through portions of Exodus, taught to ask questions and make observations of the text, and guided in learning how God’s Word applies to their lives. Let’s pray for our students as they continue to learn how to study Scripture!
