Equipping Studies are short term bible studies that are held on Sunday evenings at 6:00 PM or on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM. These studies are on a variety of topics taught by a variety of teachers. When Equipping Studies are approaching, you'll find class details and sign-up information here.

7 STRONG is not a program, it is a series of habits.
Most everyone would agree that more people seem to struggle today to be strong and resilient. Though it isn’t new, there has been a renewed awareness of the mental health struggles of people since the pandemic of 2020. Consider a few statistics:
The world is shifting, and in many ways it does not appear to be for the better. Most of our efforts at resolving the mental health crisis have focused on healing the sick. We want to actually keep people from getting sick by helping them to be healthier now.
7-STRONG has one primary objective: to help you be stronger and more resilient today than yesterday.
With 7-STRONG, we aren’t working to raise the ceiling. We want to raise the floor. Too many people can’t even think about raising the ceiling because they are not standing on level ground with people around them. We can’t fix everything, but we can help them to get a little healthier, a little stronger, and a little more resilient so they have a fighting chance.
Students will join the adult classes for multigenerational study and conversations.

A Profile of a Spiritually Competent Adult: Malvern Dave and Malvern Debbie
Sundays, 6:00 PM
March 2-30
Discipleship, Leadership, and Spiritual Formation
The primary purpose of our adult LifeGroup model is to equip disciples to make disciples. This resource is designed to equip leaders with tools to guide LifeGroup members toward spiritual maturity. The profile describes an adult disciple we seek to create in our MHBC LifeGroups. This class is appropriate for all LifeGroup leaders and anyone who is actively seeking to disciple others.
In Malvern Dave and Malvern Debbie, we will explore the profile of a spiritually competent adult and provide resources and practical strategies for discipleship. We believe that a spiritually competent adult:
Each week will target disciplines for personal spiritual growth and offer resources and practical application for use with a LifeGroup or other relationships where you are actively seeking to share the Gospel with a non-believer or disciple another believer.

Strong Kids
For kids in kindergarten through 5th grade
Most everyone would agree that kids and even young adults struggle today to be strong and resilient. Though it isn’t new, there has been a renewed awareness of the mental health struggles of young people since the pandemic of 2020.
We want to establish healthy habits, routines, and rhythms into our kids lives so that they are resilient and can escape some of the struggles that seem to be plaguing young people today. 7-STRONG KIDS Is focused on starting positive habits instead of stopping negative ones. When you implement positive habits, you get the benefit of that habit, plus you take away the negative impact of the negative habit you replaced.
The positive habits of 7-STRONG KIDS result in opportunity profits for your child's mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health.
7-STRONG KIDS features a fast-paced rotation of fun activities led by adult leaders and Malvern Hill Students who regularly implement the habits from 7-STRONG into their routines. Rotations will include:
