Discipleship Ministries
Real people meeting the real God in real relationships
Our desire is to disciple adults into mature and devoted followers of Jesus. We have several opportunities for adults to learn the Word of God! On Sundays, our Faith Fellowship Groups learn about God’s Word from our elders. Throughout the week, during the school year, we have Bible studies for men and women.
Faith Fellowship Groups
Who God is and what He is like will be the focus of Foundations (2 Timothy 2:19) under the guidance of Jeff Hoplin, Chad Williamson, and Web Gehring so that we can get to know God better. Foundations will help you truly know God from His Word instead of just accumulating information about Him. J.I. Packer’s classic work, “Knowing God” will help us search the Scriptures that reveal the great and only God!" Sign up for Foundations!
In Crossroads, Doug Rambeck and Lowell Nelson are excited to lead a 3-part study consisting of the Spiritual Gifts, the Fruit of the Spirit, and the "Let Us" passages contained in the book of Hebrews. Our study will be heavy on personal and church body life application meant to build up the church body as we grow together in service to others (Jeremiah 6:16). Sign up for Crossroads!
Believers are called to bear the fruit of the spirit, but it is hard amidst a culture that pushes us in the opposite direction. Come and explore the richness of Galatians 5 (Fruits of the Spirit) with Nick Zaccardi, Scott Hulst, and Jason Holm. In Anchored, we will seek to encourage believers at Faith through study, dialogue, and discussion. Sign up for Anchored!
Our newest fellowship group invites you to embark on a transformative journey of biblical discovery and a renewed appreciation for the Bible’s role in the life of a believer. With Tim Bartel and Anton Van Straaten, we will explore how to become Steadfast in our faith and firm in our love for one another here at Faith. Sign up for Steadfast!
The Scooter Society
The Scooter Society is a Monday morning discussion group where the theological rubber meets the road of real life at Scooter’s Coffee on South Washington Street! Every Monday at 8:05 am, Pastor Anton leads an engaging conversation with other believers. Sometimes, the coffee is even free! Contact Pastor Anton to let him know you’ll be joining the Scooter Society!
Weekly Groups and Studies
Bible studies, prayer groups, and discipleship courses
Sojourners Fellowship Study
Wednesdays at 10:00 am, join Scott Hulst for a study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Sojourners places a high value on bearing one another’s burdens in prayer and often closes their study in song. Join the group here!
Monday Prayer Group
Faithfully, every Monday afternoon, a group of us meets for prayer in room 209. All are welcome to join us in prayer for our brothers and sisters in Christ, our church, our community, and our country. Contact us if you have questions!
By Heart Bible Memorization
Have you left Scripture memorization behind in your discipleship? Do you think that you "just can't memorize?" Do you know more passwords than God's Word? If so, consider getting Scripture memory work into your daily time with the Lord. "By Heart" is a small group that is serious about Scripture memory. When you join "By Heart," you will choose a passage you'd like to learn and share your progress as well as memorization roadblocks. You'll be able to share how God uses what you have memorized. You will learn from others' approaches to memorizing Scripture. "By Heart" is definitely a "no pressure" approach to Scripture memory and meets every other Friday at 1:00 p.m. in the church Lounge.
