Adult Discipleship Classes - Trimester 1 of 2026
Doctrine and Life Class: Marriage
Teacher: Steve Watson
Location: Large Adult Classroom in the Education Building
Meeting Time: Sunday Morning 9:00 am
Date: Starting January 11, 2026 - March 29, 2026
Summary: Marriage is a divine institution. It was designed by God for the purpose of companionship, for childbearing, and to foreshadow the relationship between Christ and His church. It is a fundamental building block of human society. In all these ways and others, marriage is one of the greatest gifts God has given to us as His image bearing creatures. However, marriage can also be the source of great conflict and pain because of sin. Even as Christians we still struggle to maintain peace by loving one another the way we ought. We desperately need God to wash us with the water of His Word so that we might be able to do so.
This class is designed to provide a context in which that can happen. We will be utilizing an excellent video series by Paul Tripp. Each session we will watch an episode together and discuss the issues it addresses. Please consider attending this class.
Biblical Studies Class: 1 John
Teacher: Sam Klass
Location: Sanctuary Bookroom
Meeting Time: Sunday Mornings 9:00 am
Date: Starting January 11, 2026 - March 29, 2026
Summary: How do we know if we are saved? The Letter of 1 John was written for the explicit purpose of helping us think through the validity of our profession. In I John 5:14, we read, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life." God does not want us wandering through life wondering if we are really saved. However, he also does not want us to be falsely assured of a salvation that we don't possess. First John helps us by giving straightforward and practical categories to examine ourselves, and to think biblically about the profession of others.
New Adult Discipleship Classes - Trimester 2 of 2026
Doctrine and Life Class: What the Bible Teaches About The Church
Teacher: Jeremy Twombley
Location: Sanctuary Bookroom
Meeting Time: Sunday Morning 9:00 am
Date: Starting April 12, 2026 - August 23, 2026
Summary: Summary: Jesus famously said in Matthew 16:18, "I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." This underlines the importance of the church from God's perspective. So what is the church? How did God design it to be ordered? What is its purpose and function? Given the importance of the church to God, these are urgent questions to answer. To do so we must look to the Scripture where God has revealed the truth on these matters. That is what we intend to do in this class.
Biblical Studies Class: Matthew
Teacher: Sam Klass
Location: Large Adult Classroom in the Education Building
Meeting Time: Sunday Mornings 9:00 am
Date: Starting April 12, 2026 - August 23, 2026
Summary: The book of Matthew holds a special place in my (Sam) heart. It was the first full book of the Bible I ever read, and God used it to convict me of sin and draw me to repentance. Since I first read it as a senior in high school, my love and appreciation for the Gospel of Matthew has only deepened. Throughout this course, you will undoubtedly be challenged by the radical calls to discipleship that Jesus makes upon his followers. But you will also see the richness and beauty of Christ as the fulfillment of all the OT covenants and promises, and thus the One who is worthy of such devotion and obedience!
