Adult Education

The mission of the Adult Education ministry is to help every adult fulfill his or her potential as a disciple of Jesus Christ. To support this mission we offer a variety of opportunities: Bible studies, Inquirers’ Classes, topical classes, guest lecturers, and other occasional events.

Sunday mornings from September through May, there are three Adult Education offerings: a Bible study, a topical/issue class and a practical application class. Signs in the churchyard provide class information and directions.

Summer 2010 Adult Education Offerings:

Summer Study: Shaping the Sermon – A Behind-the-Scenes Look at How One Pastor Gets from the Bible Passage to What Is Preached on Sunday Morning. Join us on Sunday mornings, July 11, 18, 25, and August 1, from 9 – 9:45 am. We’ll discuss the Scripture passage for the day, and the preacher will share the process of how she made her way to the day’s sermon, considering other perspectives on the text as well. Meets in Heritage Hall. Childcare provided.
