Grow in Faith

How do Equip classes help people grow in their understanding of Scripture?

When members of our church family participate in an Equip class, they experience more than just learning; they embark on a journey of spiritual growth and transformation. These classes are designed not only to deepen their understanding of Scripture but also to guide them beyond a surface-level reading, encouraging intentional and thoughtful engagement with God’s Word.

In what ways do these classes encourage a deeper trust in God?

Equip classes equip believers to grow spiritually and practically. Participants develop a stronger grasp of biblical truths, cultivate meaningful spiritual disciplines, and gain practical skills for serving others in ministry. As they study passages that reveal God’s character and promises, practice prayer, reflection, and other spiritual habits, and actively apply Scripture in their daily lives, they experience a relational confidence in God.

Through this process, Equip classes foster not just knowledge, but trust. Over time, this ongoing engagement with Scripture and spiritual practices helps believers experience God more intimately. By incorporating case studies and real-life scenarios, Equip classes create space for honest and Biblical conversations. 

Scripture is not some abstract concept; it is the Word that we are called to follow. It is deeply relevant to our decisions, priorities, and perspectives, ultimately helping us to grow in our faith.

What does spiritual growth look like over the course of an Equip class?

According to Adult Education Minister Tim Young, he explains that “spiritual growth in Equip looks like knowing Jesus more, becoming more like Him, and living on mission with Him.” For example, one can expect:

  • Increased curiosity and engagement with Scripture
  • Greater awareness of spiritual habits
  • A clearer understanding of biblical truth
  • More consistent prayer and application
  • Observable life change (attitudes, priorities, obedience)
  • Greater confidence in sharing faith or serving
  • A clearer sense of calling and next steps


2 Timothy 3:16-17 (CSB)
All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
