Welcome to PGBC
 
Discipleship Classes

Believing that God has called us to "make disciples", discipleship is central to our ministry to adults. Discipleship is the call to follow Jesus, the spiritual growth of maturing in the faith, the equipping for ministry, and the doing of ministry. Opportunities are available through personal study, worship, discipleship classes, evangelism, and small group studies. Our goal is to assist, equip, and facilitate opportunities for carrying out the work of Christ. Discipleship is the key to that process. Classes are available at various time throughout the week. 

See schedule below for this term's classes.
