Our third “E” stands for “Equip Disciple-makers”.  We believe Jesus has asked every one of His followers to not only be disciples, but to make them as well.  One of the jobs of a local church is to equip God’s people for this important work of disciple-making.  Here at New River, we have developed a disciple track that includes an introduction called “New Friends Lunch”; Life Groups; Leadership cohort; Ministry Teams; and a set of classes that we cycle through every year called “Foundations”.  In these classes we cover four areas of life where our faith gets lived out.  These four areas also are where many folks get tripped up, which is why we repeat them annually.  These four classes are: Marriage; Family; Finances; and, Theology. 


This Winter - Spring 2025, we focus on Theology and this year Pastors Robin and Doug are each teaching a class!  You can sign up for both of them or just one of them.  These classes are intended to expand your knowledge of the Bible, equipping you to better understand and apply it to your life

BIBLE DOCTRINES

In this class Pastor Doug will teach you the 20 foundational doctrines of the Christian Church.  You will learn what the Bible says about topics like: The Trinity; The Deity of Christ; The Church; Sin; the End Times; and 15 other Christian essentials.  You will be able to talk about them intelligently and know how to defend them from Scripture.  


Each student will be given a book to read, so it is important to register and get your book before the class begins on January 22nd - April 2nd!


This class will be offered Wednesdays on ZOOM from 7-8pm

BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION

In this class Pastor Robin will teach you how to discern the difference between Biblical poetry and history.  You’ll learn the difference between a “gospel” and an “epistle”.  And you’ll learn so much more!  The truth is, a student must read Genesis differently than they read Psalms.  But how?  Pastor Robin will equip you! 


This class will be offered on Sundays at New River Church from 5-6pm (Feb 2nd - April 13th) No class March 16th.
