Equipping Class FAQs

Can I teach a class?

We love raising up new teachers and leaders! If you’re interested in teaching a regularly scheduled course contact Jesse Orttel to find out your next step. Unfortunately, due to limited space we don’t offer elective courses outside of our listed classes.

How do you choose curriculum/classes?

We regularly review the needs of our congregation, our larger community, as well as reviewing our values as a church to help determine what our current needs are. While we may offer elective courses we maintain that biblical literacy is essential to the life of the believer and will continue to offer a class on how we can grow in God’s Word. A group of Elders at Good News are available to help review classes and curriculum to help ensure that Good News receives quality shepherding and instruction.

Is there a cost?

Not usually! We want to plan for your discipleship, and so the majority of our classes, seminars, and other items are covered! Special and limited topics/classes/courses may include a book/material fee.
