Built for everyday believers

Equip Everyday People to Lead and Disciple

A plug-and-play learning series designed for people in the pew—guided by your leadership, grounded in the whole story of Scripture.

Foundation The Bible’s Big Story

Scripture as one mission: God bringing His children “home.”

  • Old Testament: God forms a witnessing people.
  • New Testament: Jesus restores and sends the Church.
Building The Church Through History

How believers lived on that foundation: growth under pressure, clarified beliefs, reformations, global mission, renewal.

Aesthetic Our Testimony (Theology)

What our life together communicates: Who is God? Who are we? What’s broken—and how does Christ heal? What is the Church and its witness?

Who It’s For
  • People in the pew: small-group participants, team members, emerging leaders, curious seekers.
  • Hosts & facilitators (pastors or lay leaders): guide the process and multiply mentors—no seminary training required.
How It Works
  1. Gather a group (people in the pew + a trusted host—pastor, elder, or lay leader).
  2. Watch a ~50-minute teaching with Dr. Wayne Brouwer.
  3. Discuss & practice with the host guide, handouts, and a mid-week follow-up.

Flexible format: living rooms, classrooms, or Zoom. Low prep, high engagement.

What Your People Will Gain
  • Clarity in the storyline of Scripture (OT → NT as one mission).
  • Confidence to follow Jesus in everyday life and invite others along.
  • Practical rhythms for prayer, Scripture, sacraments, ethics, and witness.
  • Courage to serve, lead a table, or mentor someone new.
What Your Leaders Get
  • A ready path you can deploy anywhere.
  • Low-prep guides, handouts, and weekly practices.
  • Shared language for teaching, decisions, and culture change.
  • Leadership multiplication without bottlenecks.

Aligned with CLC competencies: Bible, history, sacraments, ethics, integrity/call, preaching, theology, congregational leadership.
