Fall Quarter (September 2009 - November 2009)

"Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."

The Apostle Peter closes his second letter to the church with these words. It's a challenge that continues to stir us 2000 years after it was written. We believe that we cannot continue to grow /files/mission, vision, values/j0400138.jpgin our knowledge of God and be transformed by that knowledge without being purposeful in our study of His Word, His teachings, and the experiences of others who are journeying towards Him in faith as well.

Our Adult Sunday School classes are designed to assist you in fulfilling Peter's call to growth. They provide a comfortable and safe environment to examine God's Word with others on the journey of faith. Our teachers are well-equipped to challenge your mind and motivate your spirit to pursue a deeper walk with the Lord.

The goal of the Adult Sunday School ministry is to increase the practical application of Biblical truth in our everyday lives.

Our classes vary in size, lesson content, and structure. Some classes appeal to the younger members, while others focus more on the needs of the older generation. All are based on a quarterly theme, book, or Bible study. Because the topics change from quarter to quarter, you may want to participate in a different class next quarter. However, as you develop friendships in a class, you may decide to make that your "home" class.

Christian Builders

Dorothy Gish & Ron Miller

 You come on a Sunday, hear the sermon, and your mind is still racing with thoughts and questions as it ends.  Wouldn’t it be great if there would be a forum where you could continue to discuss the morning’s message with others who want to grow in their faith in God and love for others?  Well this fall, this class is the place.    The basis of the class will be a discussion of the morning’s message which was just given in the service preceding this class.  All are welcome to join this class, but it is especially designed for fellowship and challenge of adults whose children are grown.

Community activities will be performed in small groups or teams working on projects chosen from a suggested list agreed upon by the class members and selected according to personal interest .
Sunday class time will use David Jeremiah’s book “Signs of Lifeas a devotional guide and will be a time for reflection, sharing, praying for needs as we encounter them, and a general time of encouragement as we share together living out basic authentic Christianity.
