Course 1: Fasting & Prayer
Course Description: This course explores the Biblical foundation, purpose, and
power of fasting and prayer as pathways to deeper intimacy with God. From the
practices of Moses and David to the teachings and example of Jesus Christ,
students will examine how fasting humbles the heart and how prayer aligns the
soul with God’s will. Through guided study of key passages in Scripture,
participants will learn practical principles for personal and corporate fasting,
discernment in prayer, and cultivating spiritual discipline without legalism.
Designed for believers seeking spiritual renewal, clarity, and a deeper
dependence on God, this course invites you to move beyond routine devotion
into transformative communion.
Day/Time: Sundays @ 9:00 a.m.
Facilitator: Elder Donald Gammon
Course 2: Theology 101
Course Description: 2 Timothy 2:15 states: "Study to show yourself
approved.” It commands believers to be diligent in studying Scripture to present
themselves to God as faithful, unashamed workers who correctly understand and
teach the truth of God’s Word. This involves accurately handling the Word to
avoid error and grow in maturity. The Theology 101 course is designed to help
ministers and aspiring ministers to 1. Know the construction of the Bible, and
thereby avoid misapplying passages, 2. Develop Key foundational skills for
properly studying the Bible and 3. Establish methodologies that will enable
ministers to present the teachings of scripture that faithfully align with God’s
intent.
Day/Time: Tuesdays @ 6:30 p.m.

Course 4: Attitude of A Servant
Description: In the Gospels, Jesus provides vivid examples of how we should
live. In His teachings, He stressed the attitudes of the heart. Jesus shows us a
true servant, one who was determined to do the will of God from the heart. He
demonstrated that having a servant’s heart is not a sign of weakness but, rather,
a sign of strength and inner peace. You can never be a true servant until you
know your rights and privileges as well as your responsibilities. In Christian
terms, a good servant completely identifies with the Master. To properly
represent his master, a servant must be familiar with all that his master is. The
servant’s attitude directly affects his ability to serve his master in any situation.
Likewise, your attitude is one of the most vital aspects of your Christian life. Your
attitude must be right in everything you do for the Master’s perfect will to be
carried out.
Day/Time: Tuesdays @6:30pm
Facilitator: Eld. Ernest “Rock” Roddy
Course 5: The Second Coming
Course Description: This course explores the Biblical teaching on the “end
times,” tracing prophetic themes from Daniel to the vivid visions of the Book of
Revelation. Students will examine key passages about tribulation, judgment, the
return of Christ, and the promise of a new heaven and new earth. With careful
study and thoughtful discussion, we’ll distinguish symbolism from speculation,
fear from faith, and mystery from message. Above all, this course emphasizes
the central Biblical theme of hope — that history is not random, but guided by
God’s redemptive plan. Designed for learners seeking a deeper understanding,
balanced theology, and confident trust in God’s ultimate victory.
Day/Time: Thursdays @ 6:30 p.m.
Facilitator: Bro. Ronald Stephens
