Christian Education
The place within the church where we grow and learn to live out our calling with strength and wisdom is the heart of any congregation. Sunday Morning Sunday School for all ages is a key part of that effort, but many other venues are available in which we can come together for instruction, dialog, and learning.
Sunday School: At 10:00 AM each Sunday from September through May we provide classes for children and adults which help us all explore our faith and grow in our Christian life together. We currently have a joint Sunday School for children with Resurrection Presbyterian Church, which meets in our building. Each congregation offers its own adult class.
Fall Sunday School begins September 12.
Weekly Bible Study: Each Wednesday afternoon at various times of the year, Pastor Larry Warren offers study opportunities using the latest in Bible Study material from the DISCIPLE Bible Study curricula or other materials. All are welcome to participate in these classes.
The Fall 2010 class is a DISCIPLE Bible Study, Introduction to the New Testament. The class will meet at 1:30 pm for 8 weeks beginning September 15 through November 3. This class will also be offered at 7 pm at Lakewood United Methodist Church on the same days.
Special Opportunities: We offer periodic Bible Study, which is often shared with members of Lakewood UMC. These classes are usually on Wednesday evenings at one church or the other.
Cost: There is no charge for curriculum materials for any of our nursery or children's educational offerings. We traditionally allow the adults in various classes the opportunity to contribute to the cost of the books used in their study. No one will be discouraged from participation if the cost of the books is a difficulty.
