SUNDAY CLASSES
COME. LEARN. KNOW.
Sunday Classes for all ages are offered January-June and September-November at 10:00 AM. Our classes are an extension of our Sunday Services, helping people understand what’s in the Bible and why, and how it applies to their lives.
When you read the Bible, Jesus invites you to know him, learn from him, and find rest in him. God repeats that invitation through the New and Old Testament. For example, in Matthew 11:29 Jesus says, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
SUNDAY CLASSES ARE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW JESUS AND LEARN FROM HIM.
We usually meet in smaller settings, and dive into a specific book of the Bible or a topic. Church leaders and guest speakers lead the classes, which often include time for questions during or after the class. Classes meet at 10:00am between our worship services and new classes are available each quarter.
WINTER QUARTER 2026
JANUARY 4 - MARCH 29 @ 10:00 AM
ESSENTIAL CHRISTIANITY
Pastor Scott Gilchrist | Room 121
This class is for those who are looking into Christianity for the first time, want a refresher course of what they have learned in the past, and those who want a clearer understanding of the essential, foundational truths of the Christian faith.
JAMES: TRUE FAITH WORKS!
Pastor Gary Dozier | Room 224
Although James says less about the Master than any other writer in the New Testament, his speech is more like that of our Lord Jesus Christ than any of them.
Like the Sermon on the Mount, this is not just some moralistic teaching, whereby if you do all these things: “You’re IN!” No, when we are made alive in Christ, we then desire to live out our faith in a manner that pleases Him. This practical book will help us:
• Learn how to face trials
• Overcome temptation
• Practice what the Bible teaches
• Learn to control our tongue
• Make peace rather than trouble
• Pray the way God desires
BECOMING MORE LIKE JESUS
Pastor Justin Vanier | Room 223
Do you ever feel stagnant in your walk with Jesus or frustrated that you aren’t changing? When we place our faith in Christ, we are made right with God and set aside for His purpose. Learning to walk in this new freedom takes time. God is patient to bring about what the Bible calls ‘sanctification’ in our lives. This class will unpack the Biblical passages associated with sanctification and get practical about how we can become more like Jesus.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE PENTATEUCH
Pastor Dave Martini | Room 222
We will look at the five books of Moses. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. We’ll take a look at the history found in them as well as stopping along the way for the major events (creation, fall, flood, nations, exodus, wandering), and the people (Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses). We’ll see how these books fit together, what period of time they span, and where they fit into the larger Old Testament.
APARENTING ADULT CHILDREN
You Never Stop Being a Parent
Pastor Tom Aylward & Pastor Larry Elliott | Room 221
Did you think your parenting days were over when they became adults…only to discover that you are not yet finished? This stage of parenting can become very challenging in maintaining a good relationship with your kids. We will examine this topic together using the Scriptures and You Never Stop Being a Parent, by Jim Newheiser & Elyse Fitzpatrick to prompt our discussion. (This book is not required but can be purchased at Amazon.com.) All who are entering into, or are already in this stage of life can benefit from this class.
