Adult Sunday School Classes
Sunday school for adults is the core of our Christian Education Program. Currently, we have one adult classes which vary by age, size, style of teaching and learning, choice of curriculum, and theological learning. This class meets throughout the year. All are welcome both visitors and new members. They include:
Christian Forum: The Christian Forum Sunday school class is made up of active, earnest seekers of the Word of God. They seek a personal biblical and theological awareness so that they may have an informed personal witness in their daily lives.
As seekers, they are encouraged to share their diversity of faith experiences through unconditionally accepting class comments and discussions. Several members share responsibilities for teaching.
The class-selected curriculum includes biblical studies, social and ethical issues, theological commentaries, world religions, etc., in hard copy that is presented in lecture/discussion style.
