SUNDAY MORNING ADULT CLASSES

 In addition to our Bible classes for young people we have developed a special vision for our Sunday morning adult program.  Our leaders, assisted by the Bible School Task Force, see this program as enabling our adults to not only grow stronger as individuals, but also to grow closer with a specific group of fellow Christians who share the same circumstances in life. 

You have the opportunity this spring to select one of the following classes.

YOUNG SINGLES –  Library                       Hosts:  Rick & Teresa Brown   

Class Topic:  "Images of Jesus"                    Teachers:  Chris Reaves and Paul Vines

Staff Liaison:  Dan Williams

Life Focus:  If you are a young single from 18 to 35 years old then you find yourself at a unique stage in life:  enjoying the freedom of being single while at the same time facing the challenges of making major life and career decisions.  If that describes you, you’ll fit right in with this class!

FOUNDATIONS –  Room 308                             Hosts: Alan and Cynthia Meadows    Class Topic:  "Love and Respect"     Teachers: Jason Laird, Alan Meadows, Eric Moree, and Adam Simmons

Shepherd:  David Ponder                

Life Focus:  The first years of marriage are a crucial period in life because it is the time when couples are laying the foundation for their marriage and family.  We recognize there has never been a time when it has been more important to provide resources to strengthen and encourage young families.  That is why we are providing this class specifically for young couples who are in the early years of their relationship.  It will include newlyweds, those with no children, and parents with small children. 

TAXI PARENTS – Annex                       Hosts:  Jeff and Tammi McKinnon        

Class Topic:  "My Daily Walk with God"      Teachers:  Yancey Kyle, Jeff McKinnon, Lewis Whatley

Shepherd:  Mike Arnold

Life Focus:  Once our children enter grade school our lives seem to revolve around their activities, as we suddenly find ourselves “taxi drivers,” chauffeuring them from one event to another!  If your children are in the first through twelfth grades, and you are on the exhausting and exhilarating merry-go-round of extracurricular activities, then you’ll find kindred souls in this class.

SINGLE ON SUNDAY CLASS- Room 300   Hosts - Kathy Reaves & Susan Rhodes

Class Topic:  "My Daily Walk With God"                   Teachers:  Mike Meadows & Mark Moore

Shepherd:   Mike Meadows

Life Focus:  Have church assemblies ever seemed to you like Noah’s Ark, with everyone entering “two by two”?  Individuals who walk into a worship service by themselves appreciate the warm welcome of an invitation of a friend to “come sit by me.” Those who choose this class, however, will quickly realize that while they may arrive solo, they are certainly not alone once they get here.  Whether you are never married or single again; whether you have a spouse who remains at home on Sunday mornings or you are now widowed;  if you are over 35 and you are “Single on Sunday” for any reason, you will find this class inviting.

FREE AT LAST – Room 200     Hosts:  Bruce and Sheri Simpson                                     

Class Topic:  "Practical Christianity- Studies in James"                 Teachers:  Larry Walters and Dan Williams

Shepherd:  Allen White

Life Focus: Adjusting to an “empty nest” provides the opportunity to build a “full life”!  This period of life, after your children are on their own but before you take on the responsibilities of being a full-time grandparent, can bring a fresh burst of energy as you try on new activities and redefine yourself.  If that describes you, you’ll find good company in this class.

CROSS TALK – Room 302        Hosts – Steve & Judy Ward     Class Topic:  "A Textual Study of Hebrews"                         Teachers:  Bret Garrett, Jack Reynolds, and Steve Ward

Shepherd:  Bret Garrett

Life Focus: Once your children are grown and have established families of their own, you are relieved of the responsibility and stresses of being a parent and are freed to focus more on Christian ministries.  The “Cross Talk” class is a spirited and caring group of praying Christians dedicated to active discussions of Bible texts. 

HEROES OF FAITH – Room 305                     Hosts – Roy & Jenny Duncan Class Topic:  "My Daily Walk with God"       Teachers:  Roy Duncan, Robert Waddill, and others

Shepherd:  David Hogg

Life Focus: With maturity comes the wisdom to discern and appreciate the truly important values of life.  Once you’ve escaped the rat race of work, and are enjoying the fruits of retirement, you are ready to enjoy the good company of your peers and cherish lasting friendships.  If that describes you, check out our “Heroes of Faith” class!  It is so called because the Bible tells us that those who have demonstrated a lifetime of faithfulness are examples to the rest of their brothers and sisters (Hebrews 11;  James 5:17):  they are truly “Heroes of Faith”!

SON SEEKERS- Room 100                                        Hosts:  Jack & Pat Webb

Life Focus:  Because the churches of Christ are an undenominational fellowship of believers, we have no creed or “rulebook” other than the Bible.  When someone from another church background comes to us and asks what we believe, we offer to walk them through a short, eight-week class using the “Open Bible Study” curriculum.  This guided study plan enables the learners to read a Bible passage for themselves and then immediately answer a question based on that verse.
