C.L.A.S.S. 201

We strongly believe that to be all God wants us to be we must make some basic commitments. In CLASS 201, we learn how to develop habits of spiritual discipline in our lives which build our faith and prayer life. Our understanding of God’s Word raises the level of our relationship with other Christians. As part of the family of God we need to grow; it is His plan that we grow.

If you have been a Christian for many years or are a brand new believer just beginning your walk, this class is for you. CLASS 201 is held on a regular basis and is open to those that have completed CLASS 101 (all classes build on one another).

We focus on four specific areas in CLASS 201

Daily Quiet Time: We learn the importance of spending quality time alone with our Father. Prayer is our conversation with God.
Daily Bible Reading: We talk about the value of memorizing scripture and learning to study the Bible.
Tithing: Learning that everything belongs to God and we are to give back to him with a cheerful heart.
Fellowship: Our relationship to God is directly related to your relationship to others. We build relationships with others by connecting in Small Groups.

C.L.A.S.S. 301

God didn’t design ministry for just the few with seminary degrees. At Highlands every member of the church is a minister. This is what CLASS 301 is all about. Through the S.H.A.P.E. process, you’ll learn how God can use your Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality and Experience to minister to others in need.

The focus of CLASS 301 is to help you find your S.H.A.P.E.

S – Spiritual Gifts – Spiritual Gifts are special abilities God gave you when you started following Him. God gives us these gifts to build up our church family and reach out to the world with Christ’s love.
H – Heart – God gives each of us a unique passion for particular activities, subjects and circumstances. God uses those things we feel deeply about to show us where we can serve without quickly burning out.
A – Abilities – You have abilities, given to you before you accepted Christ, that God can use. Those abilities will help you in ministry.
P – Personality – God can use your personality. God can use all of us, whether we’re extroverts or introverts; whether we enjoy routine or variety.
E – Experiences – God has placed a multitude of experiences in your life to help mold you for ministry. God can use many of our experiences in our background to help heal hurts in our church and in our community.

By attending Class 301, determining your S.H.A.P.E., and meeting with a ministry guide, you will complete the discovery process for the way God has uniquely designed you to serve in ministry.

Class 301 is held on a regular basis and registration is open to all members who have completed Classes 101 and 201.

C.L.A.S.S. 401

In CLASS 401 we talk about your life mission and how God planned that mission long before you were born! We talk about how fulfilling your mission brings glory to God. We will also discuss how your primary task in life is to fulfill that mission!

In Class 401 you’ll discover your life mission and how you can be a part of God’s plan to reach out to the world. This class will help you:

Develop a personal perspective of the Gospel message
Develop your personal story of how God has worked in your life
Build confidence in sharing your story
Understand the P.E.A.C.E. Plan and how you can begin to be a part of it either locally or globally

CLASS 401 is broken up into four distinct sessions:

In Session 1 we will talk about why God created us and Jesus’ mission on earth and why that matters to you.
In Session 2 we will talk about your testimony and how to share that with others and lead them to receive Christ.
In Session 3 we will learn about becoming “fishers of men!” We will learn how to spiritually fish and how people come to Christ. You will learn about building a bridge of friendship with others.
Session 4 concludes CLASS 401 and deals with becoming a world class Christian.
