1 Samuel - Teacher: Dennis Toll # 118

The book of Samuel describes a transitional period in the life of the nation of Israel, as the people moved from a tribal government to the establishment of kingship. The author presents what kind of king is needed and how David becomes the ideal leader of the people. God rejected Saul as king and promised an eternal throne to David and his descendants. We will read and discuss the text of Samuel and draw valuable conclusions about our own relationship to God.

Gospel of John - Teacher: Brian Jaworski # 117

David asks in Psalm 24:8, 10, “Who is this King of Glory?” The Apostle John seeks to answer the question throughout his gospel letter. During our study of John we will examine the “I am” statements of Jesus. He describes himself as the word become flesh, Bread of Life, Light of the World, Good Shepherd, the Way and the Truth and the Life, the True Vine. We will discover the only One who completely satisfies us.

Romans - Teacher: Charles Bascom # 101

Paul's faith-grounding letter about "debtors" made rich by the Lord Jesus; redemption made available to all by faith; the Life within lived out - individually and in community.

Spiritual Disciplines - Teachers: Jerry Humes/Mark Taussig # 118

Rather than being restrictive, as they are often perceived, the spiritual disciplines are actually the means to spiritual liberty. Drawn from a rich heritage left us by the early church fathers, the Puritans, and the Lord Jesus himself, our source text will guide us through the disciplines of Scripture reading and application, prayer, worship, Scripture meditation, evangelism, fasting, solitude, stewardship, and learning.

Systematic Theology - Teacher: Dan Learned # 301

What are the foundational doctrines of the faith? What really do you believe and why do you believe it? A simplified definition of systematic theology simply answers the question “What does the whole Bible teach us today?” about any given topic. We will explore the biblical text to discover the apostolic foundations upon which we stand or fall.

Men’s Elective

Proverbs - Teacher: Bob Burton #109

Class participants have an opportunity to practice processes such as title, outline, cross references, definitions, focus thought and application. All are welcome to attend with or without preparation.

College Class

Transitions - Teachers: David Allen/Greg Bailey #119

College students are at a unique time in life: no longer fully dependent on parents and not quite totally independent. These are often years of restless change and transition. The class will focus on how to address various issues facing college students from a biblical perspective.

Internationals

Teachers: Leon Brown/Steve Graber #115

The international class is open to both international students and Americans. Although we gear the class for those who struggle with English and have little to no background in the Bible, we also try to provide teaching that is of value for mature believers in their walk with God. Some form of the Gospel message is presented each Sunday.

Berean

Christ’s Life – Service & Sacrifice - Teacher: Bill Bockus # 204

We will study the book of Mark. This class is largely composed of the “Sr. Saints” in our church who will be studying the gospel of Mark with a focus on “Christ’s life: service and sacrifice.” The class uses a discussion format to answer questions related to the text. We attempt to mimic the Bereans of old who “searched the Scriptures” to understand truth.

Women’s Elective

Hebrews - Teacher: Karen Lynch # 203

We will be studying the book of Hebrews, the theme of which is the superiority of Christ and thus of Christianity. Readers are warned about the consequences of rejecting Christ’s sacrifice and reminded of the rewards of faithfulness. Women of all ages are welcome.

PeaceMaker Ministries - Teachers: Frank and Loida Leone #119

This class will provide practical biblical guidance for conflict resolution that takes you beyond resolving conflicts to true, life-changing reconciliation with family, co-workers, and fellow believers.Blessed are the peacemakers...

Women’s Prayer Group - Facilitators: Mimi Benedick/ Debbie Peddicord #203
