Sunday School Classes

WE HAVE SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES FOR CHILDREN!

Sunday School is important for children to learn the teachings of Jesus.  It helps to impart values to children through Biblical lessons, and it allows children to understand, on their level, the Word of God.  Sunday School also gives your child the opportunity to socialize with other children.  We offer Sunday School classes for PRESCHOOL to 4th GRADE and 5th GRADE to 9th GRADE.  We look forward to helping your child develop a closer relationship with God!

GOODWILL CLASS

The Goodwill Class was organized in 1958 to accommodate "young married/single folks."  Well, we are still a class, though not so young, just "young at heart!"  Goodwill is still learning and studying the Word of God.  Several dedicated members rotate as teachers/leaders using Life Guide Studies to delve into and talk over Scripture.  Besides Sunday morning, the class meets once a month to discuss projects, some of which include WE CARE, missions, fun stuff, and of course, prayer needs.  We love the Lord and enjoy sharing, fellowship, and food!

INQUIRING BELIEVERS

The Inquiring Believers Sunday School Class was formed in the mid-90s by members at large.  In 2013, the Believers Under Construction Class merged into The Inquiring Believers Class and is now a joint effort with all members participating in an in-depth study of  Scripture.  The class has grown from a small group of individuals to over 40 members (with a range of 16 through 80 years of age) in search of a deeper understanding of God's inspired word and life application.

The theme of the class is Sola Scriptura (Latin:  By Scripture Alone).  Sola Scriptura means that Scripture alone is the inspired word of God and the only authoritative true source for the faith and practice of the Christian.  As the apostle Paul writes in 2 Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness."  The focus of the class, always, is Scripture and life application.  The class collectively decides the direction of study.  Although the study topic or book of the Bible is the foundation of study, the class is known for frequently going "off-topic" leading the class through an enlightening dive into scriptures that all enjoy.

OUTREACH CLASS:

The goal of the Outreach Class is to learn and grow together in Christ, and to share the love of Jesus with others.  Over the years, Outreach has been a part of many service projects, such as supporting Camp Allegheny, the Adopt-a-Highway program, and Christmas gift bags for Arbutus Park Manor.  Current projects include the Souper Bowl of Caring, supporting Operation Christmas Child boxes, and a card ministry that sends prayers, along with words of encouragement, to members of our church family and community.  Outreach continues in the footsteps of preceding Sunday School classes, by joyfully carrying on the tradition of decorating the church every year for Christmas.

While serving the Lord, there is a lot of fun and fellowship along the way.  Times together are a true blessing.  If you are seeking to learn more about God, Jesus, and the Bible, Outreach would welcome you Sunday mornings.
