Adult Bible Fellowships and Electives
Adult Bible Fellowships are more than Sunday School. Adult: Each class is open to all ages, but they are age sensitive in order to meet their special needs. Bible: They major on the teaching and application of the word of God in their lives. Fellowship: They also focus on relationships and caring love for one another. From time to time we offer electives as well which are open to all ages.

Know God Better
Meets Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. in the Social Hall Overflow
Boomers Sunday School Class
Leader: Andy Padvorac & Members of the Class
The purpose of the Boomers class is to “grow adults God’s way.” It is a place to grow adult friendships, study the Bible, plan outside activities and care for each other (and eat snacks!).
A typical Sunday morning meeting begins with “chat time” to catch up on news with each other, then we pray for each other, and have a lesson. The job of teaching the lesson is shared by class members. The study guides are on books of the Bible or topics of Christian life. The teaching session is participatory and works best when everyone shares their thoughts.
We are currently exploring how to "Know God Better" and we started with Jeremiah 9:23-24: "Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches; But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord." We expect to be in this topic into at least April. Our study material will include multi-week study guides (probably for Psalms 23), one-week studies of passages illustrating the "right way to know God" (i.e. John 15, "I am the Vine"), and passages showing when God's people have failed to "hear and follow God's voice (i.e. Deuteronomy 1, where Israel failed to take the land of the Amorites). We will examine "knowing God" from many different angles. The objective of the class is to challenge class members to examine their lives and find ways to personally "Know God Better!"

Discipleship
Meets Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. in the Library
Berean Sunday School Class
Leader: Steve Smith
Ecclesiastes 3:11: “He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”
“We are growing in our knowledge, but we discover that the more we know, the more we know we do not know. The increase of knowledge only increases the depth of wonder and of delight. In the sovereign wisdom of God we cannot solve all mysteries. As the apostle Paul put it, "we see in a mirror, dimly"; we are looking forward to the day when we shall see face-to-face.” –Ray Stedman
2 Peter 3:18: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”
