11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

Ephesians 4:11-12

Equipping the Saints is the second responsibility of North Swan’s four-fold purpose.  As we examine scripture, it becomes clear that every believer has a function within the church as well as a mission to the world.  In order to enable our members to fulfill their God-given assignments, we offer multiple methods of teaching and training that focus on bringing each believer to maturity and competency in their Christian lives.   

 Sunday School, very simply, is bible study on Sunday mornings.  From 10:00-10:50 AM, classes are offered for believers of similar passion or life-stage to delve deeply into scripture.  Each class is directed by qualified teachers who present the Bible in context while providing relevant applications for life today.  Through Sunday School individuals can gain a greater understanding of scripture while enjoying friendships, accountability, and the perspectives of other believers. 

Our current classes include:

Nursery – Children 4 and under

Kindergarten - 3^rd Grade – Bible Teaching for Kids

Wednesday Night Bible Study features a blend of worship and bible study for the whole congregation. Beginning at 7:00 PM on Wednesday evenings, our congregation gathers together to worship through music.  Once the music, lead by the Praise Band, finishes; the congregation breaks up into smaller groups.  These groups include Nursery for the infants and toddlers, Team Kids for children through 6^th grade, Youth Group for 7^th-12^th grades, and Adult bible study.  These divisions allow for the effective communication of scripture to every attendee of every age. 

Men’s Bible Study is a study for men, which occurs every Tuesday at 7:00 PM.  During this time men fellowship together as they systematically delve chapter by chapter through various books of the Bible.  Each week a new chapter is introduced until a particular book is completed.  Men are encouraged by the Word of God through this study and are able to encourage each other to be the men, husbands, fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers that God has called them to be.
