Environments to form Relationships and strengthen Faith

One of the most telling signs of a faithful Christian is a deep relationship with God’s Word. The mission of the adult education program is to assist our members in knowing the Lord and deepening their relationship with Him through expository and topical studies of the Bible. Our discussion-based classes align with Summerville CoC’s overall vision for the church: Relationships Formed, Faith Strengthened.

Current Adult Classes

May 4th to July 30th

SUNDAYS - 9:00 AM

Adult Class (Family Room): Minor Prophets

Chris Miller & Bobby Behr

We will be covering Obadiah, Habakkuk, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.  We will see the accuracy of historical prophecy, including a lot of Messianic prophecies and their fulfilment. We will see how God can use people and events to carry out His will.

Young Adult (Upstairs Gym): Enneagram Study continued

Allen & Stephanie Cooke

Understanding our individual strengths and weaknesses can help us discern our spiritual strengths and gifts, assisting us in our walk of faith and evangelism efforts. In this class, we will examine how different personalities can best serve in God's kingdom.

Ladies Class (Downstairs Gym): Missing Pieces: Real Hope When Life Doesn’t Make Sense by Jennifer Rothschild

Brenda Williams

Have you ever asked these questions? Does God care? Is He fair? Is He even there? Your questions can be the missing pieces that help you really know God.

Adult Class 2 (Annex): Spiritual Warfare: Biblical Themes and a glimpse of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters

Ben Greene & Wayne Maynor

This class will see to enable us to prepare for battles in our lives that we will face as Christians.  We will use C.S. Lewis’ book The Screwtape Letters as a springboard for our discussions about spiritual warfare, the snares set in our path, and study together how to encourage each other to overcome and prevail against them.

WEDNESDAYS - 7:00 PM

Family Room: Acts: The Church's Origin Story

Len Driskell & Don Alan Riggs

We are continuing our study of the real-life saga of the early church as it was pushed out of Jerusalem towards the ends of the world. The struggles they endured and the obstacles they overcame still inspire us as the 21st-century church. We will join Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and other pioneers of the faith as they travel the Mediterranean world.

Ladies Class (Annex): Women of the Bible

Katy Penick & Latonia Pearson

Reflections on Women of the Bible by Heather Pryor. This study focuses on the lives and character of several fascinating women in scripture and includes sections on cultural background, a connection to Christ, discussion questions, a personal application page, and more. As we reflect on the examples in this study, we also need to take a close look at ourselves and how we can become the women God created each of us to be.
