Sunday School
Rising 7th–12th grade students meet for Sunday School each week at 10:45am in the Multi-Purpose Room, then break out into classes (available to all grades; students are also welcomed at any ACE class).
Current Classes:
Starting in January, students will have the option to sign up for one of the following three
classes:
What Do We Believe?
The Purpose of Creeds and Confessions
January 15 – February 19, McLean Room, 10:45am
We recite them together as a congregation nearly every week, but why? In this class, students will gain an understanding of the Church’s historic creeds and confessions and their biblical origin and grounding to help us to know God, to love God, and to live on mission for God in our church, our community, and world. This class requires light reading each week from Scripture and the creeds and confessions. Teachers: Jake Jenkins
Reaching our Friends
Sharing our Faith in a Post-Christian World
January 15 – February 19, Multipurpose Room, 10:45am
As Christians, we believe the gospel is good news for everyone and want our friends to hear it! In practice, though, we are scared, indifferent, or lazy in sharing our faith. This class will be based on a short book by Tim Keller called How to Reach the West Again. The goal is to explore together what a ‘missionary encounter’ can look like and help build a foundation of confidence for us all to engage in evangelism with friends, family, and neighbors. This class requires students to each week read select passages from Tim Keller’s How to Reach the West Again (provided). Teachers: Max Riesenhuber
Christian Ethics:
Applied
January 15 – February 19, Room 19, 10:45am
Why, as Christians, do we think the way we do regarding morals? Some answers are easy to find – the Ten Commandments are pretty clear on idolatry. But what about swearing? Going to a party? Tattoos or piercings? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what the Bible actually says about topics like those? In this class, we will pick five ethical dilemmas to research and discuss through a biblical lens and consider how culture and our faith interact. Teachers: Anna Compton
