Christian Education Classes Offered
All classes listed below meet at 10:05 am on Sunday mornings, unless otherwise noted.
New Disciples Class
This class, made up of all ages of adults, meets in the Believers class room on the south hall. The class uses books or studies and selects a new book/curriculum ($10-$15) whenever a study is completed. Currently they are studying Serving from the Heart: Finding Your Gifts and Talents for Service by Carol Cartmill and Yvonne Gentile. Those new to the group will find a warm and unintimidating class who enjoys "apply it to life" Bible study and discussion. Led by Kent Burris.
Semper Fidelis Class
This class meets in the parlor and follows the Adult Bible Studies Quarterly which is provided by the Church. No additional materials are required by class members. Most members bring their own Bible but verses are included in the quarterlies so a Bible is not required. Visitors are always welcome and made a part of our family group. Each class begins with sharing joys and concerns as well as singing a hymn. Group participation is encouraged.
This class has three teachers. Monty Waldron teaches the 1st & 2nd Sundays, Walter Webb teaches the 3rd & 4th Sundays, and Stewart Arthurs teaches the 5th Sunday. This provides a variety of teaching methods to class members.
We generally have one or two social functions throughout the year that includes games and a meal generally at one of the class members* home.
Wesley Class meets at 9:30 am
This class meets in the Clyde Bowen room. The focus of study is God's word. The class uses the Adult Bible Studies Quarterly Sunday School materials provided by the church.
Inter-Generational Class
This class has adults ranging in age from 18-80+. They meet in the Intergenerational Classroom on the south side of the church. Look for the class with pews arranged in a square, an aged rug on the floor, a variety of crosses on the wall, music and the smell of fresh coffee.
The I-G class focuses on Bible study with an emphasis on "who, what, when and where." Books are read aloud and dealt with as a whole. Theology and historically important Christian leaders through the ages are also studied in depth, with special note of their historical context.
Class participants are encouraged to bring all versions of the Bible. If there is a topical study, the teacher provides the leadership with supplemental materials brought by all who are interested. Those new to this class may be surprised by the free-flowing and spirited discussions that occur. These discussions are the focal point of the class, encouraged by the leader and spring from the material. This class is made up of fun, loving, serious Christians who are working hard to learn more about their Christianity and how they might better put Christ in their lives and carry his Spirit into their new week.
