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 Sermon on the Mount
Location: Equipping Room A
Teacher: Pastor Tyler Sykora
Description: What does it look like to faithfully follow Jesus in this crazy and sinful world? How can you be more devoted to God and avoid being a hypocrite like the Pharisees? In what ways does the greatest sermon ever preached still apply to your life today some 2,000 years later? Join Pastor Tyler as he considers these questions and teaches verse by verse through the Sermon on the Mount.
10:45AM Adult Equipping Groups
+ Practical Discipleship Track
Topic: The Word Does the Work: How Scripture Reverberates Within and Beyond LBC
Location: Equipping Room A
Teacher: Pastor Aaron Trent and Pastor Joseph Kester
Description: Imagine a recital hall where a single musical chord reverberates throughout the space for several seconds. Now picture our church where the symphony of Scripture reverberates across our Lord's Day gatherings, our daily Bible intake, our ongoing discipling and evangelistic relationships, and our regular rhythms of family worship. How does this happen? And how can we continue to grow as a church where God's Word increasingly transforms us into the image of Christ as it echoes within and beyond our corporate body? Join us as we set aside the month of December to establish and strengthen habits of personal and corporate Bible intake for the coming year.
+ Liberty Students Track
Topic: The Gospel Project: Overview of Genesis
Location: Liberty Students Room
Teachers: Description: Starting at the beginning and tracing God’s plan of redemption, students will be led in reading through portions of Genesis together, 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!
