Fall 2026 · Discipleship

Two classes. One hour. Right after church.

Starting Sunday, October 4 - stay in your seat, grab a coffee, and go deeper with people who know your name.

Starts Sunday, October 4 12:15 - 1:15 PM 1974 Coney Island Ave

Why we do this

Discipleship isn't a program you graduate from. It's what happens when ordinary people keep showing up to the Word together.

This fall we're running two classes, both meeting right after the 10:00 AM service. One is about what we believe and why we do church the way we do. The other is about the places where sin still has a grip and what God's Word says about getting free.

Pick the one you need. Both are free - signing up just helps us have your materials ready on the first Sunday.

Calvary Life Foundations discipleship class — Calvary Distinctives, 12:15 PM, starts October 4, Sundays after service.

Class One

Calvary Life Foundations

A walk through the Calvary Distinctives

Just got baptized? New to Calvary Life? Start here. This is the class we point people to before they step into serving - so you know what this church believes, and why, before you help build it.

We work through Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel Distinctives: why we teach straight through books of the Bible instead of picking a topic each week, how this church is led and by whom, and what we hold to about grace, the Spirit, and the return of Christ. Plain language, no prerequisites, no Bible college required.

And if you've been here for years without ever having the whole picture laid out in one place - this one's for you too.

Overcoming Life Dominating Sins discipleship class — 12:15 PM, October 4 to December 6, ten week course, part 2.

Class Two

Overcoming Life-Dominating Sins

Part 2 · Ten weeks · October 4 - December 6

Part 1 laid the groundwork. Part 2 takes it into the rooms where it's hardest - your temper, your marriage, your kids, the fear you don't say out loud, the thing you keep going back to.

Ten weeks, one subject at a time, applying God's Word to specific problem areas. Each week has a memory verse, three core truths, honest discussion in a small group, and something to actually do before the next Sunday.

If you took Part 1, this picks up right where it left off. If you didn't, come anyway - each week stands on its own.

Sign up for Part 2

The ten weeks

  1. 1Dealing With Self - identity in Christ
  2. 2Dealing With Self, continued - serving others
  3. 3Anger and Bitterness - forgiveness
  4. 4Interpersonal Problems - confession, reconciliation
