Biblical Leadership Study at FBCO

First Baptist Olney will be offering an eight-week study for Fall 2021 on biblical value-driven leadership development. The study will begin Aug. 22 and will end Oct. 17. The class will be held from 5:00-6:30 p.m. each Sunday evening on the FBCO campus. The cost of the course is $7 per person to help cover the cost of workbooks. All are welcome to attend the study.

The study is called “Lead Like it Matters to God.” It will explore values that will help believers consistently serve as a witness for Christ. The study will also explore how the church, developing strong leaders, can influence the broader culture and create healthy workplaces where people and teams flourish.

This unique course is composed of three key elements: personal study, group discussion and teaching time (in that order). Not only will you become a better Bible student, but the study will also provide you with fellowship as you participate in this unique style of learning.

Unfortunately, this sort of study is not often offered at churches because most church members have grown used to passively receiving teaching instead of actively engaging in learning the Bible.

FBCO University is a learning setting that will require you to personally study and do some thinking about what God’s Word says. That may seem scary, but you won’t be alone. Your small group will think through a passage together each week, and then one of our teaching pastors will pull all the puzzle pieces together in a large group setting.

You don’t have to know anything about the Bible to participate in FBCO University. You don’t have to be a member of FBCO. However, it would help if you had a good attitude and a willingness to study and learn. Child care is available up to sixth grade. The FBCO Youth will continue to meet at their regular time this fall.

If you would like to sign up for the course, please contact Jan at First Baptist Church at 940.564.5594.
