What are Growth Classes?

At Walnut Park Baptist Church, we want to worship, grow, connect, and go on mission. The Bible teaches that followers of Christ grow through the study of God’s Word (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). Our growth classes are weekly 45-minute classes that dig deeper into God’s Word and help you learn how to practically live it out. No matter where you are at in life, join us on Sundays at 9:30am for a class that meets you where you are.

Unlocking the Scriptures

Teacher: Mark Henthorn

Location: Gym

We will use Colossians 12:24-29, Galatians 5:16-26, and Philippians 2:1-11 during this elective. The class goal is to become familiar with and regularly use this three-step study process to relevantly apply God’s Word to our personal lives. This elective will require at least one hour per week of preparation in the Scriptures and workbook prior to class.
