2024-2025 Winter Sunday School Quarter

Garmer

Teacher: Bob Ellis Age: 70's+  Room: 1st Floor - Whitaker Subject: "God Gave His Word to Us"
The Father, the Son, and the Spirit each has had a unique role in providing the Scriptures to us.  That should shape how we view the Bible and use it.  It also adds insight to a close relationship with each Person of the Godhead.

Agape

Teacher: Bruce Willson Age: Late 50's to 60's  Room: 2nd Floor - Whitaker Subject: "Covenant"
Come and join the Agape Class this Quarter as we explore the Scriptural concept of “Covenant.”  We will try to answer questions such as:  What is a Biblical covenant? Are there more than one and if so, what are they?  Where in the Scriptures are they found? How do they apply to me?  Someone has stated, “We don’t talk a lot about covenants today. But we should. They’re one of the most important themes in the Bible because they act as the skeletons upon which the entire redemptive story is built.” Considering this statement, how can we NOT study Biblical covenants?

Emmaus

Teacher: Tim Shaw Age: 40's and 50's Room: 3rd Floor - Whitaker Subject: "1 Samuel, the Rise of David and Fall of Saul"
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?

Berean

Teacher: John Breckenridge Age: 30's and 40's  Room: 4th Floor - Whitaker Subject: "Study of Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis"
This term we will study C.S. Lewis' classic work Mere Christianity, which has been termed by some as perhaps the most important book of the twentieth century. This book contains the arguments of a late convert to Christ who tells the story of how only Christianity can explain the purpose of man, and what he must do with the Lord Jesus who has drawn near to his creation.

New Covenant

Teacher: Matthew Burt Age: 20's and 30's  Room: #30 - 3rd Floor Axson Subject: "Hebrews 12: 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.

Jerusalem

Teacher: Kenneth Crowe Age: 20's  Room: #31 - 3rd Floor Axson Subject: "The Doctrines of Grace"
How do the Doctrines of Grace impact our view of God?  Why are these “Five Points” so often misunderstood?  The goals of this class are to clearly define these doctrines, to demonstrate them in Scripture, to look at objections, and to see how the Doctrines of Grace shape the Christian life.

College

Teacher: Evan Gear Age: Undergraduate  Room: Parlor - Hull Street Building Subject: "Study of Proverbs 1-9, The Beginning of Wisdom"
Most of us are familiar with the Proverb, the fear of the LORD is the beginning of Wisdom. But how do we know such fear as our own? How might we begin to know wisdom? I believe the answer to both these questions can be found in the opening chapters of the book of Proverbs. Come and study with us and learn to fear and so know an entry into the path of the wise.

High School

Teacher: Alex Sutherland Age: 9th-12th Grade  Room: 3rd Floor, Hull Street Building Subject: Romans
Among all of the majestic statements of Scripture, the book of Romans stands out as one of the great summaries of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This winter we will study this letter and think about the main themes of the gospel and the benefits we receive from Christ. We will think about the nature of sin, our justification, adoption, sanctification, and God's sovereignty in salvation. We will seek to have a greater understanding of and appreciation of our salvation in Christ.  

Middle School

Teacher: David Lantiga Age: 6th-8th Grade  Room: 2nd Floor, Hull Street Building Subject: "Genesis"
We'll cover the book of Genesis, examining significant themes such as God's covenants with his people, his sovereignty, and the grace he extends to all.
