Trinity Class
A Critical and Joyful Bible Study
The Trinity Sunday School Class is a discussion oriented Bible study group. Members of the class suggest books of the Bible and related subjects for consideration and the class selects a topic of interest to the majority. Utilizing selected study guides, the Internet and Church library resources, lessons are prepared and led by any and all class members who desire to discover or utilize their gifts of teaching and leadership. You don't have to lead a lesson just because you take part in the group, but if you are interested, the class structure is arranged to facilitate it.
Location: Upstairs Education Wing.

Sola Scriptura Class
Examining our lives in the light of the Logos
Bible Study: Paul's Letter to the Galations
This class, led by Rev. Tom Robinson, is a traditional Bible study engaging the mind and the spirit by delving into the Scripture itself. In Rev. Robinson’s words, “We seek not so much to understand how the Scripture is relevant to our lives--we presume that it is--but rather to discern "how" and "whether" our lives are relevant to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Our study, therefore, attempts to de-emphasize "who" we are and to emphasize "Whose" we are.”

Connect & Deepen
What is Theology?
Discover the form of our faith
What do we mean by God, Jesus, revelation, the Church, salvation, worship, ethics, mission, sin and redemption? In some way, all of us are trying to take what we read and hear from the Bible and in worship and figure out how they connect with our experience and outlook. This is the task of theology, and this class will be an exercise in “connecting” and “deepening” ourselves as more reflective theologians so our work and worship in life will be more meaningful, more “connected” and “deepened.”
Those interested in participating will be expected to covenant to attend regularly, attentively read the chapter for each week, participate in discussion, and help lead on one Sunday. Led by Dr. Carl Badger

George Watts Class
This class teaches bible scripture and puts all lessons in the context of its historical time and of its importance to Christians in the twenty-first century. This class begins each Sunday morning with the singing and the fellowship to be found in this class is unique and pervasive. The class needs ‘a few good men,’ but there is no warrior requirement, as the cross is its emblem and not the Nike check. The class believes that its Lord and Savior is a God of wonderful good humor (else why would mankind have been created?). So, if you would like to worship with a class of cheerful gentle men who are seeking Christ through scripture, then please join the George Watts class.
