 Adults

Sunday School

Adult Sunday School runs from September - May. This second hour education time meets in the Sanctuary from 11:00-11:45 AM. Classes will be taught by a variety of individuals. See the schedule below for more details.

 

April 21 & 28

The Shepherd and Sheep

Join us for a 2 week mini-series that will expand our learning from John 10. We’ll explore and discuss the meaning of what it means for God to be our shepherd and our role as the flock that follows. We’ll meet in Fellowship Hall.

​

May 5, 12, & 19

Dr. Robert Van Voorst (retired Professor of New Testament at Western Theological Seminary) will lead a 3 part series aimed at helping us consider how as Christians can live into biblical values in the polarized world that surrounds us.

  • Week 1:  Religious Nationalism.  (A look at the international phenomenon, with special attention to Christian nationalism in the US.)

  • Week 2:  Religious Pluralism.  (What can we learn from other religions?  How much of their ideas and practices can we adapt without compromising our Christian faith?)

  • Week 3:  How to be a Christian Citizen.  (The special duties of Christians in a democracy.)
