Immanuel Bible Institute

Knowing what you believe and why you believe it is essential for every Christian. “Deep, rich, and well-organized,” “essential in my walk with Jesus,” “grew together as a couple by doing the homework,” and “the best Christian principles class I have taken,” are some of the comments from prior students.

Whether you are a seeker, new believer, or a Christian wanting theological grounding, FoF Part 1 explores the basic questions: Who is God and what is He like? What is the Bible, and how did we get it? What is salvation and why do I need it? I think I’m a Christian, but how can I know for sure? FoF Part 1 integrates the Fundamentals of the Faith (Moody Press) curriculum, audio messages by Dr. John MacArthur and classroom discussion with comprehensive notes to build believers and future leaders at Immanuel.

The Fundamentals of the Faith, Parts 1 and 2, is Immanuel’s “flagship” course, since it thoroughly explains what we believe. It is strongly recommended for every Immanuel member, especially those who teach in any capacity. (13 weeks)

How do we regard grandparenting from a biblical and theological perspective? How does that affect you as a grandparent? Beyond making fun memories with your grandkids, do you understand your gospel role in their life? How do you reach them for Christ? How do you support the parent’s role, even when you aren’t on the same page?

This course is designed to be part of a focused effort for encourage, enable and inspire the intentional engagement of grandparents to support the parent’s role of raising God seeking, fearing and following children. It will cover worldviews, intentional prayer, family relationships and grandparenting in today’s culture. Grandparenting with Grace uses Larry McCall’s book of the same title. Participants need to purchase Larry’s book before the start of the class. There will also be exposure to supplemental information and resources to reinforce the biblical grandparenting role. The course will be held live in Room B207 on Sunday mornings. (10 weeks)

Same description as above. With Zoom flexibility, this offering is available for those unable to attend the Sunday, 10:45, in-person session and also extend the course invitation to remote grandparents of IBC attenders (wherever they may live).

Women and men are facing pregnancy decisions all around us, and while there are many ways to engage over the issue of abortion, God has given us the best solution: discipleship. In this course you will be equipped to care for people facing a crisis that may end in life or death. It is a noble and worthy thing to be “pro-life.” But more than that, Jesus calls us to be about “pro-abundant life,” rescuing people from both physical and eternal death. It is about others… and it is about you as well as God works in your own heart regarding the sanctity of human life. Making Life Disciples will inform and equip you to converse with women and men in the midst of their crisis. It will enable you to know how to really help them. Finally, it will give you an expanded perspective of how God would use you in the most emotionally-searing issue of our modern day. (10 weeks)
