Equipping The Saints
The Scriptures are inspired for the purpose of training us and making us adequate for every good work. The primary job of pastors is to teach the saints the Word and how to live it out in everyday life. To that end, we offer several classes at Redeemer Bible Church. Our Gospel Growth classes offered on Sunday mornings at 9 am and 11 am are focussed on applying God’s Word to everyday life. On Saturday morning, the Redeemer Bible Institute classes are focused on biblical and theological equipping so that God's people can know God better and live more fully for Him by faith.

Redeemer Bible Institute
Saturday's 7:30am - 10:30am
We believe God’s Word is sufficient for every good work, which is why we founded Redeemer Bible Institute. Our desire is to equip the saints for the work of ministry by teaching the body how to diligently study, accurately handle, and faithfully apply God’s Word in every area of life.
Gospel Growth Hour
Sunday's 9:00am and 11:00am
Our longing is that each and every follower of Jesus at Redeemer Bible Church would walk worthy of the gospel. And so developed the Gospel Growth Hour — practical equipping from the Word of God on Sunday mornings in Room 1. Our 6-week electives are designed to equip and encourage you to better walk with God by faith.
Connecting at Redeemer
Connecting at Redeemer is our class for new members, those being baptized, and anyone who wants to learn our core values. It is also our chance to get to know those joining the church. We want everyone who is committed to this faith family to understand and embrace the gospel and learn how to live it out together. We believe that the gospel is central to all of life and is vitally connected to a gospel-transformed, grace-saturated, Christ-centered, Word-proclaiming, life-together local church that is crucial to the life of faith.
To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ..

Redeemer Bible Institute FAQ

All of the RBI classes themselves are available for free. You will need to purchase your own books and materials. However, for the classes that can be taken for seminary credit, there is a fee to get that credit . Note that this fee is greatly reduced from what a typical seminary class would cost.
Can I pop in or do I have to enroll for the whole time?
While we won’t require people to come to every class, the lectures are designed to build upon each other. So we really encourage people to think about what classes they want to take and commit to finishing an entire class. Most of the classes will have a roughly three or six month commitment.
Will there be homework?
The classes will all have homework, although doing the homework is optional if you aren’t taking a class for seminary credit. To get the most out of the class we do recommend that you do as much homework as you can. We will list multiple levels of homework for each class so students can decide how much time they can invest in the class.

The classes will all be held at the Redeemer Bible Church building, either in Room 1 or the Main Worship Center, depending on the sizes of the classes.

We are planning to record the classes and make them available to students who miss a class, or in the future to believers who want to take the class as an independent study.
