Classes

Our Sunday morning CLASSES are a series of core classes designed with Discipleship in mind. It is through discipleship, Christians come to look more and more like Christ (2 Cor. 3:18). More Specifically, these classes: ground us in basic disciplines, improve our understanding of scripture, expose us to church history and theology, apply God’s wisdom to our relationships, and teach us how to engage the world as Christians. If you would like more information about any of the current classes being offered please call the church office.

Our Spring 2024 classes begin April 7th.  Register below!

Spring 2024 Classes

Sundays at 10:00AM – beginning 4/7

Understanding of Islam

Timotheus Paul | Gym  *Begins 4/14

These sessions aim to provide a comprehensive exploration of the principles, beliefs, and practices that form the foundation of Islam. And most importantly, what can a person do to reach a Muslim for Jesus Christ.

The Christian and Politics (Part 2)

Pastor Brian Fuller | Auditorium

Should churches exert any influence in politics? Should pastors preach about political questions? Is there only one ‘Christian’ position on political issues? Does the Bible teach anything about how people should vote? And election seasons (like 2024!) can cause division on a variety of issues. But what happens when you disagree with someone in your local church community? We will endeavor to answer these questions and more during this two-part Sunday class. In a world where religion is more and more private and faith is fine as long as it isn’t shared, many would seek to keep God out of their politics. But is that right, and is it Biblical? Please join us!

1 Timothy

Phil Sturgill, Bob Ault, Bill McNamara | Room 106

The book of 1 Timothy was written by Paul to Timothy whom he had send to the church at Ephesus to be the pastor. While Paul had complete trust in Timothy, he warned against sinister developments in the Ephesian church that Timothy would face. The main problem was false teachers. Paul’s message in 1 Timothy, in addition to false teachers, is sound teaching based on the Gospel, the responsibilities, and qualifications of church leaders, appropriate conduct for Christians, and guarding the church’s reputation in the world. We can use Paul’s message in this letter to determine if a church today is following scripture in their structure, leadership, and conduct.

Biblical View of Humanity

Harry Fletcher | Room 108

“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?” ~Psalm 8:3-4
This study seeks to answer the question, “What is man?” from a Biblical perspective. We will consider the ORIGINS, the IMAGE, and the PURPOSE of humanity.

 

Starting Point

John Bitzer | Conference Room

This study is for anyone considering church membership or just wanting to know more about EBBC. We will cover our church history, our church governance and constitution, as well as, what we believe. In addition there is a 4 week Bible study on the character of God called The Exchange. This class will run for 8 weeks (4 weeks about EBBC and 4 weeks The Exchange) over the course of 9-10 weeks. 

 

Baptism Class

Pastor Joe Bolduc | Room 107

Have you trusted in Christ’s death and resurrection for your salvation, but haven’t been baptized as a believer? You are invited to a four-week baptism class starting April 7th in Room 107. We would like to slow it down and really soak in the gospel as we study baptism. To help us do that, we will be following a four-week study from Mez McConnell called Preparing for Baptism ( a free copy will be provided to each student who attends). Here are the major topics we will cover over the four weeks: 1. Why should we bother anyway? 2. Am I ready for baptism? 3. Preparing for your big day and 4. Running the race. We do ask that children under twelve be accompanied by at least one parent or guardian. There is no obligation for anyone who attends the class to be baptized.

Winter 2024 Classes

Sundays at 10:00AM 

Revelation : The World of the End

Dr. Barry Keiser | GYM

An exegetical study of the prophecy that tells us where we’re headed.  God promised blessing for all who read, hear and keep the words of this prophecy (Rev. 1:3).  We will try to understand what the text says about the end times, in a Bible-based panorama of future events.

1 Thessalonians

Phil Sturgill, Bob Ault, Bill McNamara | Rm 106

Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians is thought by many to be the earliest of Paul’s letters and was probably written earlier than the gospels. Acts 17 describes the details of the Thessalonian church’s beginnings. After spending a short time there, Paul had established an effective ministry, proclaiming that Jesus was the Christ. This caused the Jews to evict him from the city and Paul the traveled on to Berea, Athens, and eventually, to Corinth. After Timothy joined Paul in Corinth and provided a good report on the Thessalonian church, Paul wrote I Thessalonians in response to Timothy’s good report.

Even though the book of Thessalonians is probably best known for its writings about prophetic events, the letter also includes other topics coming from Paul’s concern for the flock; encouragement and comfort to the persecuted church, expressing his joy in their faith, the importance of moral purity and the exhortation of the basics of Christian living. These topics are still applicable to all Christians today.

It is our hope that each class can include discussion and sharing.

The Christian and Politics (Part 1)

Pastor Brian Fuller | Auditorium

Should churches exert any influence in politics? Should pastors preach about political questions? Is there only one ‘Christian’ position on political issues? Does the Bible teach anything about how people should vote? And, election seasons (like 2024!) can cause division on a viariety of issue. But what happens when you disagree with someone in your local church community?  We will endeavor to answer these questions and more during this two-part Sunday Class.  In a world where religion is more and more private and faith is fine as long as it isn’t shared, many would seek to keep God out of their politics.  But is that right, and is it Biblical?  Please consider joining us begining January 7th.
