ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
*********************************************
We offer eleven different adult Sunday School classes to choose from on Sunday morning. Each one offers something different!
- Bible Class - Originally formed in 1975 as a commitment to intense Bible study, this class contains men and women between ages 45 and 65. A supportive group of individuals who are in varying stages of relationships from marriage to widowhood, members use a variety of materials focused on the Bible. This group has a card ministry for all sick members of the church and provides food and medicine to community families, particularly children, who are experiencing financial difficulties. The class enjoys social get-togethers about once each quarter.
- Drake Class - Members of this class range in age from late 20's to mid 50's with a mixture of couples and singles. Teachers use participatory lesson styles. The class is very active in the church as well as in community projects.
- Genesis to Revelation Class - This class, newly formed in the fall of 1999, is a self-paced study of all 66 books of the bible over a unspecified amount of time. Interested persons are welcome to join at any time, and the class circles back to Genesis at the end of the study. Estimated completion time is around six years!
- Hut Class - This class (so named because of it original meeting place) is for those free spirits, women and men, who like to choose their own study material and discuss the lesson for the day. Meeting informally around the table in the church library, members do not mind disagreeing with each other. Leadership of the discussion rotates among several class members. An ongoing project is supporting the Bethlehem Community Center in Columbia.
- Mason Class - This class was organized in 1945 and was originally the Young Married Couples Class. Currently most members are over 55 and they welcome all visitors, couples or singles, any time. They are also taught by members of the class.
- New Horizon Class - This class is diverse in its composition and creative in the exploration of God's word. Class members join a core of regular teachers to study not only programmed lessons, but selected topics of importance to all Christians in modern society. Together they have examined poverty in America and in the local community, ethics, church organization, and family values. The class composition is couples and singles from late 30's and up.
- The Paul D. Frey Class - Class members list as their purpose "to come together in Christian fellowship to support each other, to study Biblical truths applied to everyday living, and to further the work of the church." Members include singles and couples in various ages and stages of life. Regular social activities help members get to know each other on a deeper level. Class members rotate teaching responsibilities and teach from a variety of Christian literature and the Bible.
- Trinity Class - Formerly the Upper Room-Featherstone Class and The Lawton Class. These two classes formally combined in January, 2005. The class is made up of mostly retired men and women. They use the Adult Bible Study Series as the basis for their lessons taught by a few of their members. They participate in a number of mission projects each year.
- The Coach Dula Class - Members of this class are a diverse group of young adults who are searching for God's will in their lives. From college age to mid-thirties, they are individuals launching into life's journeys including school, marriage, parenthood and career. Through discussion-orientated Bible study led by Shell Dula, they seek discipleship. Their fellowship together also provides opportunities to develop friendships that offer support and encouragement to each other as they discover God.
- Common Ground - This class meets each Sunday over coffee to pray for one aother and explore the biblical passages that Reverend Dennis will be covering in his sermons. This is a "come as you are" class for the casual at heart -- even jeans!
- Cornerstone Class - So then we are no longer strangers…but you are fellow members in the household of God…Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone (Ephesians 2:19-20). Members of this class are students, parents, and professionals who support each other as they grow together spiritually and socially. Through class-led discussions centered on improving their knowledge of the Bible, this class offers a relaxed environment that encourages members to openly ask questions and share their experiences. The class meets in the Susanna Wesley Building.
