At North Dallas Community Bible Fellowship, we believe the best way to live a meaningful life is to grow deeper in Christ and to build relationships with others. It's bigger than classes, but opportunities to impact your life and the lives of others. Jesus was very intentional with pouring Himself into the life of His disciples. This life was an example to teach us the discipleship process. All of us are on a spiritual journey and we don’t travel on this journey alone. We invite you to discover your discipleship journey with us! Be open to learning, growing, and embracing every opportunity along the way.
All classes are at no cost, however, some classes require workbooks that may be purchased in the church bookstore. Please use the navigation bar or the buttons below to review and/or register for classes offered this fall.

Essentials of Discipleship
Study of Colossians and Philemon | Tuesdays at 7:00pm-8:30pm | Begins Tuesday, September 13th
Instructor: Minister Don Bookman
The books of Colossians and Philemon complement each other as two New Testament texts that gloriously display the gospel and its implications for how God’s people should live today. This study will help you see how both letters resonate with the apostle Paul’s overriding passion: magnifying Jesus Christ as the supreme manifestation of God’s redemptive purposes.
Register
Book of 2 Samuel | Tuesdays at 6:30pm-8:00pm | Begins Tuesday, September 13th
Instructor: Minister Michael Richard
David is known as Israel's greatest king, but he was not a super-hero. He had to fight many battles to establish his throne, and when he did become king, he committed murder, adultery, and brought disaster on his family. He was a man with human failings, yet he was also a man after God's own heart. David depended on God's grace for forgiveness when he stumbled—the same grace that is available to us today.
In this study, we will guide you through an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with David's struggle to establish his throne, continuing through his sin and repentance, and concluding with the tragic rebellion of his son Absalom.
