Adult Classes

Professing Christ is a class for new believers in Christ (of at least middle school age) who wish to make a public profession of faith through baptism or confirmation.

The Berean class will meet this fall with teaching starting at 9:00 am, fellowship starting 8:45 am. We will be doing a series on “HARD QUESTIONS” where we will address a broad range of issues like

• Does God exist?
• Can we trust the Bible?
• Are we saved by faith and/or works?
• How can we know God's will?
• How should we interact with those who disagree with us?
• How should we relate to Israel, political issues, sexual differences, gender roles, etc.

The class will consist of teaching & discussion.

NOTE: We offer a hybrid class of both in-person and Zoom. Reach out to Andy Smoak for more information. You can view previous studies at apttoteach.org.

TEACHER: Jim Abrahamson

Our Bethesda class meets on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month during the 11 am service hour. We are going through each book of the Bible and highlighting the important stories found within each book. We are also working together to learn how each story of the Bible is connected and points us to Jesus.

TEACHER: Ashley Gyori (Adaptive Ministry Director)

The Bridge ESL Bible Study is a "bridge" for you to:

• Getting to know more about American culture
• Improving your English language & conversation skills
• Making friends with American men & women
• Learning about the Truth found in the Bible
• Walking with Jesus and giving your burdens to Him

What does it look like to live in the Kingdom of God? We’ll explore Kingdom Culture and how to depend on the Holy Spirit, rather than on ourselves to live a new life in God’s Kingdom on earth.

For more information, contact Lily Wang or David and Judy Streich.

Crossroads is an intergenerational class. This Fall we'll be studying the book of Galatians. We'd love to have you join us as we explore the richness and beauty of all God has done for us in Christ.

TEACHERS: Rick Hove & Andy Ledbetter

Gospel-Focused Families is a class for parents (of babies through high schoolers) living out the Gospel through Bible study, community, and missions. Rotating studies with adult and whole-family fellowship opportunities. Contact Steven & Amy King for more information.

Our study through November 23 will be on the Hosea: Covenantal Love. We're walking through the book, looking at a love story bound by commitment, forgiveness, redemption, and sacrifice and how that relates to both God's relationship with us and our marriages (as a reflection of that).

TEACHERS: Steven & Amy King

El objetivo de esta clase es tomar responsabilidad y ser competentes en cultivar nuestro propio caminar con Dios, entender las luchas espirituales que experimentan los líderes cristianos y saber cómo enfrentarlas, y adquirir una pasión por la santidad y un deseo de por vida de perseguirla.

"Es triste que muchos cristianos no tengan esta aura de piedad a su alrededor. Pueden ser muy talentosos y agradables, o muy ocupados en la obra del Señor, o incluso aparentemente exitosos en algunas avenidas del servicio cristiano, y aún así no ser piadosos. ¿Por qué? Porque no son devotos a Dios. Pueden ser devotos a una visión, o a un ministerio o a su propia reputación como cristianos, pero no a Dios. La piedad es más que el carácter cristiano: Es el carácter cristiano que surge de la devoción a Dios." - Jerry Bridges, The Practice of Godliness

PROFESORES: Gaby Correa

In this class, we will walk through a curriculum from the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF) to consider the whole person from the perspective of Scripture in order to seek to understand how each aspect of a person's being can impact their spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. More importantly, we will move from theory to practice by discussing how we as the church are uniquely situated to point suffering people to Jesus, to offer spiritual hope in what is often a very isolating experience, and to meet practical needs in the midst of that experience.
