Adult Ministries
Believers City Church adult ministries are geared to making disciples. Therefore we offer discipleship classes, fellowship groups, and service opportunities.
SCHOOLS
SCHOOL OF BELIEVERS
The School of Believers is to help new or young believers understand the great doctrines (i.e. teachings) of the bible and what the bible says about belonging to a church (i.e. church membership). The purpose is to prepare students to serve through their local church and get on track to fulfill the plan for their lives. Upon completion of this class, students can apply for Covenant Membership.
Prerequisites:
- Regular attendance and participation at Believers City Church.
- Commitment to weekly discussion-based classes on Sunday mornings.
- Outside of class assignments including multi-media and book reading.
Applications are available at the Central Desk at Believers City Church. Students can join anytime.
SCHOOL OF DISCIPLESHIP
The School of Discipleship provides continuing education to those seeking to grow as disciples at Believers City Church. The curriculum is taken from the Scofield Bible Correspondence Course, including:
- Volume I: Introduction To The Scriptures
- Volume II: The Old Testament
- Volume III: Matthew to Acts
- Volume IV: Epistles and Revelation
- Volume V: Great Works; Volume VI: Doctrine and Index
Lessons are handed out weekly and outside of class Bible reading is required. Classes meet weekly on Sunday mornings to discuss the current lesson in a discussion-based format. The curriculum includes periodic exams and a final exam for each volume.
Prerequisites:
- Covenant Member of Believers City Church
- Regularly serving in a ministry of Believers City Church
Applications are available by request.
SCHOOL OF MINISTRY
This is a 3-year training program for disciples who are "called" to higher ministry. The training is hands-on and requires a life beyond that of the average Christian. It is a school designed to "make you or break you". This School has a two-part approach:
- Attendance in weekly lecture-based classes
- Participation in Application-based church roles where leading and teaching can be experienced
Prerequisites:
- Regular attendance at church services
- Weekly service in the church
- Calling of God
This school is not "open enrollment" as you might find with a seminary. Applications are available by request. If you are looking for more information, talk to your fellowship ministry leader first.
We also offer a variety of other classes such as periodic SEEDs classes on Saturday mornings in the Blind Munchies Coffeehouse and Community Life mentoring for those looking for one-on-one help.
FELLOWSHIP MINISTRIES
KINDRED SINGLES
A Fellowship Group for Single Adults
The Kindred Fellowship exists to provide biblical fellowship for single adults. We meet a couple of times each month for a fellowship activity, to serve the community of Believers City Church, or to serve the greater community of Menomonie. We also host summer campouts, winter retreats, and discuss biblical curriculum geared for the Christian single adult.
Email Pastor Jason and Faye Gilbert at kindred@jfbelievers.com to find out more information about our group and activities.
ONELIFE COUPLES
A Fellowship Group for Couples and Families
OneLife is a group for couples and families. We meet a couple of times a month for fellowship with the desire to get to know each other better. We exist to minister to each other and encourage each other to reach out to the people who live in our neighborhoods and to our coworkers. Our fellowships have us in parks or hanging out in various places or at local events. We host retreats for personal growth and periodic outreaches to meet people in our local community.
Email Matt and Susan Hansmeier at onelife@jfbelievers.com for more info about our group and activities.
