fall 2026 discipleship opportunities
At Woodland Park, we want to equip believers with the tools and community necessary to taking next steps in the faith. Our Bible studies focus heavily on the Word of God and learning how to apply its timeless truths to daily life. Alongside these studies, our equipping courses offer focused, practical classes designed to strengthen your theology, build essential ministry skills, and help you navigate modern life with a solid biblical foundation. Whether you are new to faith or have been following Christ for decades, these spaces provide the perfect environment to learn, ask questions, and grow alongside others. Beginning September 13, the following opportunities will be offered:
