Get a Grip Classes

 Would you like to really learn the basics of God's Word? Get a grip on the basics of your faith?

In the same way that physical laws - like the law of gravity, the law of thermodynamics and other laws - govern the natural world; God has set in motion spiritual laws that govern our relationship with Him and our experience (or lack of experience) in living the dynamic, victorious Christian life?

In our "Get a Grip" classes, we get into the Word of God to discover the basics of our faith and the spiritual laws God's has established.

If you'd like the Lord's help to "connect-the-Bible-dots" - this is the class for you! If you've felt like you have "pieces" to the puzzle of God's Word, but you've never really understood what the "box top" of God's plan really looked like; we invite you to take our "Get a Grip" classes and allow the Lord to reveal more of His Word to you. He will help you to see the bigger picture - the "box top" - of His redemptive plan and HIs purpose for your life.

Start with Get a Grip 101: Basics and then move on to Get a Grip 201: Serving. Here are more details:

Get a Grip 101 - Basics

As soon as you're ready, we encourage you to take this class! Whether you're a new, young or seasoned believer, this is a great class for learning God's Word and being reminded of the basics of God's Word. In this 14 week class, we use the popular "Getting a Grip on the Basics" workbook to cover important topics like:

How to be Sure You are a Christian

How to Talk to God

How to Hear from God

How to Experience God's Love and Forgiveness

How to be Filled with the Spirit

How to Grow in Faith

How to Get Involved as a Member at VFC

...and more!

(This class is a prerequisite for anyone who wants to serve as a volunteer on any of The Valley Teams or who wants to attend the EPIC School of Ministry.)

Please join us for a special 7 week accelerated Grip Basics session held on Thursday nights beginning September 9 from 6-9pm in the Elementary Auditorium on 2500 Vincent Drive. It will be a unique version using both live teaching AND video from P. Beth's recent Grip Basics class.
