What is Discipleship Institute?
The bible teaches a discipleship which encompasses every facet of our life and promises us the power to change. This teaching has been arranged into a framework which we call: Discipleship Institute.
The institute exists to enhance our understanding and practice of this kind of discipleship – fully biblical & life changing.

Learning and Loving the Church
Chris Von Holt & Dan Waterman
“I love and need Jesus, but not the Church.” Have you ever heard this or even thought this yourself? The Church is Jesus’ Bride whom He loves, died for, rescued, and will one day bring home! The biblical understanding of His Bride, the Church, has been skewed and misunderstood for centuries and a false understanding of the Church has grave consequences. Whether you are a new believer, or have followed Christ for decades, join us as we look at this often-neglected doctrine and learn how it impacts our spiritual growth, our ministry, and our mission to the world around us.
Genesis 1-11: The Foundation of the Bible
Glenn Felty & Dave Kohler
While this course is open to everyone, we encourage parents of pre-teens and teens to attend. Participants will be equipped to answer questions such as: Which gives us the truth about the origin of the universe – Evolution or the Bible? If there is a good and loving God then why is there so much suffering and evil in the world? Was there really an actual ark and how could they get all the animals on it? Was there really a worldwide flood? If so, what is the evidence? Where did all the people groups and languages of the earth come from? Participants will be prepared to confidently answer these questions based on the authority and accuracy of God’s Word.
Financial Stewardship and Biblical Wisdom
Duane Peoples
What is your view on money? Have you ever given thought to the fact that Scripture tells us all things belong to King Jesus (Col. 1:16)? As His followers, we are called to care for and use what is His for His glory and His purposes. This does not just apply generally to our money; in fact, Scripture speaks specifically about money and its relation to our lives over 2,000 times! So, whether you are just starting out, retired, or somewhere in between, God has spoken to you about earning, spending, saving, investing, planning, giving, debt, and so much more. Join us as we learn to be faithful stewards with the money God has so graciously entrusted to each of us!
