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
Classes Offered Starting May 1
Why Worship in Song Matters
Teacher: Drew Hacker
Do you ever wonder why we sing the songs that we sing at Woodridge? Why don’t we have solo performances on Sundays instead of our preferred style of congregational singing? What is the role of the worship team during corporate worship?
Join Pastor Drew as we learn about these topics and more as they are related to worship in song, who “worship leaders” are, and the role of the church. We will be watching some video teaching from Bob Kauflin’s book called worship matters for part of the class, and answering questions with edifying discussion.

Types and Shadows of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament
Teacher: Mick Steiner
A study on how persons, events and objects in the Old Testament foreshadow the person and work of Jesus Christ.
We’ll look at people like Joseph who is a type of Jesus in dozens of ways, how Noah’s Ark and the Tabernacle picture our salvation, and other in-depth studies such as theophanies, biblical numerology, and how Gospel narratives like the Good Samaritan are also a snapshot of the mission of Jesus over the New Testament age.

Christ's Message to the Church: Revelation 1-3
Teacher: Ed Mcllveen
Jesus Christ spoke to the Apostle John giving him a message to have read before the seven churches in Revelation. The teaching given to the churches back then is instructive for the church today.
We'll review the letters to each church independently as well as in aggregate. The letters reveal what pleased the Lord, what needed to be corrected, and what He promised to those who are obedient.

Membership Matters
Teachers: Woodridge Elders
Prospective members are invited to attend our Membership Matters class. The curriculum is supplemented with material from the book Church Membership: How The World Knows Who Represents Jesus (available at the church book shop).
The material discussed includes our statement of faith, church covenant, history, outreach and missions efforts, life as a local church, and the biblical basis for joining a church in formal membership.
Courses are offered in a Sunday school format. Upon completion, those who attended all the classes are able, but not obligated, to sign up for a membership interview—the third step of the membership process at Woodridge.
