Spring Sunday School Quarter 2026
Spring Quarter Sunday School Classes begin Sunday, March 8, 2026
Garmer
Teacher: Rev. Bob Ellis Age: 70s+ Room: 1st Floor - Whitaker Subject: "Renew Your Mind"
When Romans 12 calls us to the renewal of our mind, it challenges our thoughts, emotions, and motivations. As powerful forces in today's world seek to influence our mind, without the Lord's enablement each day, we will succumb. This class will study Scriptures specific to godly mindfulness.
Agape
Teacher: Rev. Tim Shaw Age: 60s Room: 2nd Floor - Whitaker Subject: "1 Samuel"
What are we to learn from the examples of David, Jonathan, and Saul? What are their stories recorded for? What are we meant to glean?
Emmaus
Teacher: Mr. Ben Field Age: 50s Room: 3rd Floor - Whitaker Subject: "Jeremiah"
Few biblical characters were given more challenging missions than Jeremiah, and this quarter, we'll look at the highs and lows of his life and message. For over four decades, Jeremiah stood as a lone minister of the Lord during Judah's darkest days. From oracles of destruction and exile to promises of a new covenant and a branch of David, the book of Jeremiah plays a central role in our understanding of both God's wrath and His mercy.
Berean
Teacher: Rev. Dr. Matthew Burt Age: 40s Room: 4th Floor - Whitaker Subject: "Running Like a Hall of Famer"
After his catalogue of the inductees of "Faith's Hall of Fame," the pastor/author of Hebrews encourages his readers to "run with endurance the race that is set before us." He then follows this exhortation with several truths that will help us to finish the race successfully. This class will work through Hebrews twelve preparing us to run with joy, encouraging us to persevere in our running, and giving us a clear picture of the great reward awaiting us as we cross the finish line.
New Covenant
Teacher: Dr. Gordon Hassing Age: 30s Room: #30 - 3rd Floor Axson Subject: "The Universe - Eternal/Developed by Chance or Designed/Created"
Cultural Elites (universities, media, thought leaders) are mostly secular humanists and thus atheistic. They hold to Darwin's theory of evolution as an absolute, despite the evidence. We will explore how using relatively recent scientific discoveries demonstrate the universe had a beginning and displays strong signs of design. This is true for the cosmos as well as for all living creatures, including the uniqueness of humans. Thus there must be a Designer, i.e. our God.
Jerusalem
Teacher: Rev. Dr. Bruce Willson Age: 20s Room: #31 - 3rd Floor Axson Subject: "Pneumatology"
The Study of the Holy Spirit will be the subject of our examination this Quarter. Many believers have neglected this study with alarming results. Come and join us as we see how the Scripture describes the Spirit as a person, fully divine, fully equal with the other members of the Trinity. He brings the Father's plan and the Son's mediation to completion. He indwells His people and conforms them into the image of the Son. He provides gifts to those who belong to Christ and brings forth fruit in their lives. Come and learn and be struck with the glory and majesty of the Third Person of the Trinity!
College
Teacher: Mr. Andrew Becham Age: Undergraduate Room: Parlor - Hull Street Building
Subject: "Matthew"
The first Gospel shows the character and priorities of Jesus Christ on his earthly mission, who came as a Savior, Champion, Example, and King for the citizens of his heavenly kingdom. Who is this Son of David, Son of man, Son of God--and who should he be to us?
Youth- High School
Teacher: Mr. Dennis Boatright Age: High School Room: 2nd Floor, Hull Street Building
Subject: "Who Is on the Lord's Side"
God calls his people to be lights in a world of darkness. Throughout the Bible we see God using ordinary people to do extraordinary things for His kingdom. This quarter we will study some of the biblical characters to see how God used them and to continue to build the foundation based on God's Word so we too can be salt and light in our world for God's kingdom.
Youth- Middle School
Teacher: Rev. Alex Sutherland Age: Middle School Room: 1st Floor, Hull Street Building
Subject: "Churches in Need"
One of the most common things we find in the New Testament are the Apostles confronting errors and problems in the various early churches. These were not only problems which the church faced long ago but these are also dangers and errors which we could fall into today. This quarter we will look at several situations in the early church which the Apostle addresses and try to learn from them what we should believe and how we should live as faithful Christians today.
