Document Actions
We encourage every believer to prioritise their growth in God firstly by developing a strong devotional life where they learn to dig into the word of God and apply it to their lives and secondly where everyone takes advantage of environments that will accelerate their growth in Christ




At His People Church we have been blessed with Bible School. Over
the years we have seen a great culture of faith form as the truths
learnt at Bible School were put into practice. Our Church has become a
Bible believing environment where lives are changed and God is
glorified. We have truly seen the words of Jesus in action when he said
"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8vs31,32


As a leadership team we have been dreaming of how we can better
equip every believer.

We have listened to numerous suggestions that
have be made of how we can improve Bible School.
GROW Evenings
We have asked ourselves the question of how we could better fulfill the mandate “for

the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up
of the body of Christ until we all attain to the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure
of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ
Ephesians 4vs11-13.

We believe God has answered our prayers and questions.

What is GROW?

GROW is our equipping initiative. GROW is catalytic environments

that we have put together to help every believer become more like
Christ.

GROW is all about applying the word of God to our lives. Research

confirms what we already know; the number one predictor of spiritual
growth is reading and obeying the Bible (Brad J Waggoner – The Shape of
Faith to Come).

We desire to develop a culture of every believer growing strong in

God. In order to do this we have set aside Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm
till 8:30pm as our “Grow Sessions”.

What is the goal of GROW?

The goal of GROW is to be a catalyst in helping every believer
become more like Christ. The apostle Paul said it well he said he
labored until “Christ will be formed in youGalatians 4v19

How is GROW different to Bible School?

We see spiritual growth as the lifelong pursuit of every Christian,
  • the need to grow does not end after one or two years of Bible School.
  • One of the things that we are very excited about is the opportunity
    to offer a modular approach to learning God’s word. This will allow you
    to attend any course at any time. No longer do people need to have a
    year or two free in order to be equipped in God’s word. You only need
    to sign up for the modules that you want to attend.
  • On our Tuesday nights we will be reflecting the particular emphasis
    that we believe God has called our Church to focus on for a particular
    season. While at the same time we will be offering modules that have
    been proven to be essential to spiritual growth irrespective of the
    season we may find ourselves in.
  • We will also be bringing in special guest speakers to minister on various topics. Watch the Church calendar for these nights.
  • All the teaching will be practically orientated in order to help apply the truth to our words.

If I’ve done Bible School can I still come to GROW? (if I’ve done Bible School do I still need to do grow?)

Yes! There is something for everyone. We have tried to ensure that

people at different stages of maturity in Christ will be able to
benefit from some of the courses on offer. We encourage everyone to
continue to take intentional steps to keep growing in their walk with
God.

When is GROW on?

We have set aside Tuesday evening as the primary evening for our “GROW Sessions

Where should I start? (So many choices where do I start?)

The first steps that we recommend for every believer to GROW are as follows:
  • Foundations Module
  • Victory Weekend
  • Members Course
These modules are designed to lay a solid foundation

of God’s word that will set the path for the future growth of a
believer. We recommend that as you plan your growth you would
prioritise these modules.

It is time to GROW

We encourage every believer to prioritise their growth in God
firstly by developing a strong devotional life where they learn to dig
into the word of God and apply it to their lives and secondly where
everyone takes advantage of environments that will accelerate their
growth in Christ

Single & Successful

Starts 04 May and runs for 1 week

 

This course is designed to equip single people to comprehend what the biblical definition and purpose of singleness is, to help them maximise their season and exhort them to enjoy the blessing that God has in that season. The course will help single people to avoid unhealthy habits that can conveniently develop during the season of singleness. Marriage is about two individuals (male and female) committing to walk the journey of life together and the smoothness of that road can be greatly impacted by how they each spent their season as singles. Wasted single life can as a result cause strain to the cleaving process in marriage. Therefore, the season of singleness is a treasure to be discovered and enjoyed and not to be forsaken
