Equipping classes
Maranatha Bible Church’s equipping classes are designed to help believers grow in their relationship with Christ while learning how to live out their faith in everyday life. Matthew 28:18-20 calls every believer to be actively involved in making disciples. 2 Timothy 2:2 gives us an idea of how we are to engage in disciple-making by passing on what we have learned to others so that they can do the same. Maranatha’s equipping classes are designed to help each learner understand the truth of God’s Word, embrace that truth by faithfully applying it to their lives, and then equip them to confidently share that truth with others. Our desire is not only to encourage personal spiritual growth but to equip believers to disciple others, thereby replicating faithful followers of Christ who will continue the work of making disciples.

How to share your faith
This elective will explore how to share your faith in a natural and biblical way. We will look at the Bible’s call to declare the good news to all nations, examine the posture of our hearts as we represent Christ, and learn the importance of praying for those who do not yet know Him. Participants will also practice practical steps such as planning how to share their personal testimony and engaging in simple conversations about faith.

Over 8 weeks, you'll build practical skills week by week through instruction and group practice, walking away with a toolbox of tools and confidence to know God more deeply and lead others to Him.
