Church School Classes
Sunday Morning 9:45-10:45


There are Church School classes for 3 year olds through adults that meet at various locations around the church. This hour of Christian learning is filled with opportunities to grow spiritually, learn the Bible, and find new friends in faith who would like to join you on your Christian journey.

Adult Classes
Perspectives Class - Christian Doctrine
The class continues their focus on Christian Doctrine, written by the late Dr. Shirley Guthrie of the Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, who was highly respected as a teacher and friend to his students and colleagues. Both of our pastors studied under Dr. Guthrie. A review of Dr. Guthrie's book by Books of the Bible website declares: "One of the clearest and most popular expositions of Protestant teaching and doctrine in print. Helps take the mystery out of the attributes of God, the incarnation, sanctification, the Holy Spirit, and the resurrection."
Revelation Class
Led by Dr. Negley, will focus on the book, Breaking the Code - Understanding the Book of Revelation by Bruce M. Metzger. Breaking the Code serves as a key for understanding this powerful and puzzling book from the first century of the Christian era. This class meets in the back of McLeod Hall.
The Thoughtful Christian (Faithful living in a complex world).
The resource for this class can be reviewed online at www.thethoughtfulchristian.com. The Thoughtful Christian concept is to offer studies ranging from one to four sessions on a variety of subjects grouped into five categories: Contemporary Issues, Popular Culture, Bible and Theology, Christian Living and Spirituality. This class requires a covenant of understanding between students, and the students themselves will take turns leading each subject. The class meets in the Edinburgh Annex (the old choir room) on the second floor of the sanctuary building.

Three and Four Year Olds
Hands On Curriculum: Joseph and His Brothers, David and Goliath, Daniel and His Friends
Kids will love the hands on approach to learning, using sounds and songs, drawings, props and puzzles to explore each "relationship." This curriculum proves to be a winner with teachers as well.
