Developing disciples who live and love the word of God
The Adult Education Ministry disciples people at all stages of spiritual maturity to become fully devoted followers of Christ. We strive to transform our people into lifelong students of the Bible, and to develop their ability as teachers and servants to share God’s love.

Spirituality for Couples
Phil & Mary Brookman | Fellowship Central
Many couples ask this question: “How do we walk with Christ together?” Developing a spiritual life is always hard, but marriage adds complexity. Mary and Phil tried many approaches; some were fruitful, and others failed. Phil and Mary will share their victories, defeats, and helpful tools. This class is aimed at married and dating couples of all ages.
Love in John’s Gospel (starts January 15)
Alden Bass | A05-106
In the gospels, Jesus quotes the Torah’s greatest commands to “love God” and “love your neighbor.” In John’s Gospel, He calls His disciples to “love one another as Jesus has loved us.” Only in John does Jesus describe love as “friendship.” This class will examine how Jesus taught about and demonstrated love in His life.
Equipping the Saints
Mitch East | A115-116
Paul says one of the spiritual gifts is teaching, but every gift needs to be fanned into flame. If you teach Bible classes, facilitate small groups, or want confidence to teach, come and hear dozens of practical tips about how to teach well. Men and women, young and old – all are welcome if they want to grow in their capacity as teachers in the church.
Farmer Turned Preacher
Harold Shank | A122
Amos was a farmer who went north to tell God’s people what they were doing wrong. He addresses international relations, greed, materialism, abuse of the poor, and the misuse of religion. He also describes how God’s people could have had a remarkably prosperous future. Come and see what this prophet has to say to us today.
