As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17

How Classes Serve You Specifically
New Members
New Members Orientation
The EMCC New Members Orientation, sometimes referred to as Growth Track guides you to discover your redemptive purpose and live the life God created for you. The Growth Track is made up of four steps that equip you to 1) connect to the church, 2) discover the strengths of your purposeful design, 3) develop your personal leadership, and 4) use your God-given gifts to make a difference in the lives of others.
Women
Women's Group
Women’s groups give the ladies in our church family special times of interaction. Our women’s groups, located in several locations throughout our community, are times of Bible study, prayer (and, of course, food). These groups provide a refreshing discipleship opportunity for the women in the church.
Men
Men's Accountability Group
Accountability among men is an act of integrity. Accountability is designed to protect, encourage, and develop men of all ages. Accountability groups consist of three men each. Accountability groups meet together as their schedules allow and keep in touch by email or phone.
Youth
Youth Small Groups
Each Sunday morning, children get to participate in their own classes. Bible lessons are taught in such a way that every child gets to participate and learn. Each of the class teachers is carefully screened and thoroughly trained in children’s instruction. The youth ministry of our church is recognized for their meaningful interaction with kids.
Who We Are
Empowerment Ministries Christian Center subscribes to a set of core beliefs based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
What We Do
Empowerment Ministries Christian Center seeks to "Empower You Completely" by giving you the principles, tools and biblical application to thrive in your Christian walk and everyday life.

You are the difference and we're waiting for you to join us. We believe that God equipped each of us, including you, with special gifts given to make a meaningful impact on the world which we live. Also, we are designed to live in community where our various gifts complement each other and can be used most effectively.
Available Classes
New Member Orientation
New Members Orientation, sometimes referred to as Growth Track, is designed to introduce you to EMCC and help you figure out how and where you fit in EMCC. The EMCC Growth Track guides you to discover your redemptive purpose and live the life God created for you. The Growth Track is made up of four steps that equip you to 1) connect to the church, 2) discover the strengths of your purposeful design, 3) develop your personal leadership, and 4) use your God-given gifts to make a difference in the lives of others.
Baptism Class
Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. We believe that water baptism is a public declaration of three important things: you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are beginning a changed life in Christ, and you are part of a new family.
Freedom Class
During a 12-week Small Groups semester, Freedom Groups gather weekly to discuss the Freedom Small Group curriculum, which is designed to equip you to live the victorious and abundant life Christ came to give you. Freedom Groups build on the foundation of your faith in Christ to help you embrace the truth of God’s Word as it relates to your worldview, your past, your sin, your personal value to God, and your purpose in His Kingdom. This group will help you remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom.
Small Groups
Often, small groups of people are better able to interact and learn about a topic than larger groups are. For that reason, our church has small Bible studies held in member homes. The size of the group is anywhere from six to twelve people. At a time designated by your group leader you can participate in the small group study. EMCC offers a variety of small group studies such as Freedom, The Overcomer, and studies by noted teachers such as Tony Evans and Priscilla Shirer, and The Kendrick Brothers.
