#2011 Baptist Doctrine { What We Believe And Why } Available In Class or Virtual 

We are rooted in God’s Word and empowered by His Spirit. Baptist doctrine isn’t just tradition—it’s truth that sets us free. Our churches stand on the Bible, led by Christ, and committed to making a difference. What we believe gives us strength, and why we believe shapes our hearts through Spirit-led discipline, aligning us with God’s will.

#7010 Discipleship as a Ministry: Equipping for Impact

Available In-person or Virtual 

Equipping the Church to sow, cultivate and multiply through intentional discipleship.  This course is a call to grow people, not just fill seats but engage with body of Christ.  Discipleship as ministry is walking with others, planting seeds of faith, and helping them to take root.  You will learn how fellowship and guidance for new, and seasoned believers can lead to spiritual maturity, and strengthen individuals in their walk. This results in becoming a place where sheep want to graze — a place where growth is intentional and multiplication is possible.

       SPECIAL TOPIC WEDNESDAY NIGHT:  RETRACING OUR STEPS

This Special Topic training raises a clarion call to the church: to return to its sacred work of seeking the lost and leading them into the life-giving power of salvation. It challenges us to not only reengage the mission but to examine the condition of what has already been sown—ensuring that seeds of faith have not withered from neglect, but are still being nourished, discipled, and prepared to bear lasting fruit for the Kingdom.

This training workshop will equip church members to serve as Mental Health Advocates—trusted, compassionate listeners who offer support to those facing emotional and mental challenges. The class also provides tools for establishing a church-based referral system, hosting awareness events, and leading biblically grounded support groups for individuals and families. Through this ministry, the church becomes a safe place where healing begins and no one struggles alone.

#9907 Expository Preaching for Staff & Associate Ministers

Preaching is not performance—it is a sacred trust. This course invites staff and associate ministers to step into that trust with confidence, conviction, and spiritual authority. Through biblical training and Spirit-led development, students will learn to rightly divide the Word of truth and deliver it with power, clarity, and relevance. This is more than a preaching class—it’s a call to awaken your voice, sharpen your understanding, and stand ready to proclaim God’s Word in a time when truth must be spoken with boldness and grace.
