"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
1 Peter 3:18
We value discipleship and desire to see believers grow in their knowledge, love for, and likeness to Christ. To that end, we offer theological seminars or comprehensive Bible studies throughout the year geared toward helping individuals grow in their faith and knowledge of scripture and theology.
We have begun a new year of study here at New Century. EQUIP is our Sunday morning discipleship hour. We hope you will join us as we take a deeper look at some of the most important questions a believer in Christ should be asking.

EQUIP
Sunday Morning 9:00am
EQUIP is our Sunday morning discipleship program (some churches call it "Sunday School") designed to equip believers of all ages to faithfully love and live for Christ in their day-to-day lives. Firmly rooted in Scripture, our EQUIP program seeks to train believers in theology, apologetics, hermeneutics, critical thinking regarding cultural issues, and various disciplines/skills (i.e., prayer, evangelism, conflict-resolution etc.). The EQUIP program, with its various electives, serves as a supplement to our corporate worship by allowing us to offer specific, in-depth training on specific topics.
