Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2

Discipleship
Taught By: Derek Best
If you’ve been a Christian for any amount of time, you have probably heard words like “disciple” or “discipling” used in a number of different contexts. At Woodridge, we use the phrase “making disciples” in our mission statement, and making disciples is a command from the Lord Jesus Christ for his followers. But what exactly is “discipling”?
In this 8 week course, we will dig into what a disciple is, why we are called to disciple others, and overcoming some of the barriers that keep us from doing so.

The Six Covenants of Man’s Fall & Restoration
Taught By: Jovan Bjegovich
The Bible is a collection of books that describe how humankind broke covenant with their Creator and subsequently how their Creator repaired that broken relationship. In this way, the Bible is a book of covenants—six in total. This class will provide an overview of the six covenants, giving attention to how each fit into God’s overarching plan to redeem a fallen creation.
- The Covenant of Works (sin enters the world)
- The Covenant with Noah (sin will not end humanity)
- The Covenant with Abraham (the blessing to humanity)
- The Covenant with Israel/Moses (which we call the Old Covenant, since it was superseded by the New Covenant)
- The Covenant with David (the Messianic hope)
- The New Covenant (Messianic hope is here)
Youth Group
Taught By: Herman and June Restrepo, Claire Kronshage, and Matt Erdman
We will continue with the Road Trip to Truth, finishing the video series’ first season. In it, we will learn how the Bible verifies itself, Christianity is intellectually consistent, and what hope Jesus Christ provides.
