Adult Fellowships

What is an Adult Fellowship?
An Adult Fellowship is an ongoing mid-size group that provides opportunities for friendship, genuine caring, serving and Bible study. These groups meet at various times on Sunday, some in the morning and others in the evening. You’ll not only grow as a follower of Christ, but you’ll build valuable friendships as you meet together regularly.

After I Do (Newly Married, 20+)

First and Third Sundays, 6:00 PM, April-May
Meet in Common Ground at 6:00 PM, then move to Room 201-203 for content at 6:30 PM

This group meets the unique needs of young newlyweds. The purpose is twofold: 1) creating community among young couples and 2) helping them to become grounded in their marital relationship through the application of biblical principles within marriage topics.

Young Families (Parents, 25-35)

Sundays, 11:00 AM
Room 204-205, Led by Bob & Holly Smith

Current Study: Life & Ministry of the Messiah

Author Ray Vander Laan leads us on a journey through Galilee and Asia Minor, a region where the rabbinic practice of selecting disciples was well-known, and where disciples walked the walk Jesus taught them. Filmed in Israel and Turkey, this DVD explores what it means to be a follower of Jesus, not only in the first century, but now in the twenty-first century.

Home Builders (Parents, 35+)

Sundays, 11:15 AM
Schwalm Chapel, Led by Dan Noel

Homebuilders is a relationship-driven group for parents (of infants to teens) which provides opportunities for couples to connect and share their faith. This ministry emphasizes round-table discussions and group interaction. Topics include parenting, marriage, social-justice, personal faith as well as studies through particular parts of the Bible.

Current Study: Sermon Out Takes

The Homebuilders Adult Fellowship will be conducting ‘Sermon Out-Takes’ that are guided discussions focused on the current sermon series. ‘Sermon Out-Takes’ involves looking closer and drilling down deeper into the Sunday morning sermons.  Couples share meaningful questions relating to the sermons and apply them to everyday challenges of building Godly and healthy families. Interactive discussions take place at round tables as well as the larger group. The Homebuilders is a class that is designed for married couples desiring to build healthy homes through Biblical principles.

Current Study: Precedents to the 2nd Coming of Christ

We have all read and/or heard a variety of theories about the end of time (i.e. the second coming of Jesus Christ.) These 12 sessions will develop three precedents that set the stage for the final climax to history as we know it. Historical precedents offer us a clear window that provide clarification to the ultimate conclusion of justice for our world system and of eternal hope for God's people in the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ!

Adult Classes

What is an Adult Class?
An Adult Class is an elective class that is open to anyone. Classes may meet for a quarter or continue longer. If topic and content are what you value most, these classes are for you. Led by gifted teachers, these electives will help you move forward in your journey of faith.

Sundays 9:30 AM

Adult Elective
Nehemiah
Schwalm Chapel, Led by Stephen Julian

Nehemiah tells the story of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem in the face of significant opposition and treachery. It goes beyond that simple story, however, to teach us about Spirit-led leadership and the need for commitment to common principles within our community of faith. It is a reminder that the activities of our lives matter even if those activities and their outcomes fade within the pages of time.

None at this time.
