Pastor & Elder-Taught Classes

Biblical Womanhood

This 7-session class examines the biblical foundation and gospel application of womanhood as God designed it.

Teacher: Tyler Masters
Required Reading: God's Design For Women In An Age of Gender Confusion

Applied Theology

Foundations of Marriage

This five-week class covers God's design for marriage by looking at His purpose, plan, and process through the lens of Scripture. Each session focuses on a different aspect of marriage: the purpose of marriage, sanctification in marriage, steadfast love of marriage, partnership in marriage, and the investment from marriage. Whether you're engaged or married, this class is designed to provide a strong biblical foundation for understanding and pursuing God's design for marriage.

Dates/Times: Tuesdays, 6:30–8pm, starting Sept 1st
Teacher: Mike Fraga

Biblical Manhood

The Biblical Manhood class provides a gospel-centered framework for understanding God’s design for men. Starting in Genesis, we trace God’s calling for men and what it means in light of the biblical charges given to us in the Christian life. This class confronts cultural stereotypes of masculinity, teaching that true manhood is defined not by the world but by God’s Word, our identity in Christ, and His mandate to lead, provide, and protect in the home, church, and society. Open to both married and single adult men, this three hour class is recommended for those who would like to grow as a man of God and participate in Doxa’s Biblical Manhood community.

Dates/Time: Wednesday, September 9th; 6-9pm
Teacher: Ralph King

Other Classes

Financial Peace University

Financial Peace University teaches the biblical principles of stewardship and generosity as well as the practical tools to manage God’s blessings, God’s way, for God’s glory. We'll learn how to make a spending plan (Proverbs 27:23, Luke 14:28), live on less than we make, save (Proverbs 21:20), and plan for the future. Additional topics include having proper insurance, investing, home buying, and more.

Dates/Times: Sundays, 10:45 to 11:45 am, starting September 13th

Evangelism Class

This series will be training to effectively learn how to simply and confidently share the gospel with family, friends, and strangers.  These lessons will teach you how to overcome your fears by using an effective way to make the gospel make sense. You won’t be at a loss for words, and you don’t need to be an expert in apologetics, but rather you’ll learn the forgotten biblical principle of bypassing the intellect (the place of argument) and speaking directly to the conscience (the place of the knowledge of right and wrong)—the way Jesus did.

Dates/Times: Mondays, 6:30-8:30 pm, starting September 14th
Teacher: Jay Lawrence

Caring for the Abused

Abuse impacts many lives, including within the Church. This class will equip participants to better understand the dynamics of abuse, recognize warning signs, and respond with Gospel-centered care. We will explore the heart issues and behaviors behind abuse, the impact on victims, and practical ways to respond. 

Dates/Times: Mondays, September 28th & October 5th, 6:30-8:30 pm
