Deepening by Learning...
Sunday School Training at 9:00amSunday School exists in order to teach the truths of God so that your relationship with God may grow in understanding, sincerity, and practice. The following three classes are currently being offered. Classes are held in the Fellowship Hall.
Survey of the Old Testament Prophetical Books - Greg Chalfant
This class will provide an overview of the Old Testament Prophetical Books: Isaiah through Malachi. We will consider what prophecy is and how it functioned in ancient Israel. We will consider the prophets and their message in their historical, literary, and Biblical context in an attempt to properly understand and apply God's Word to our own lives.
Doctrine of Salvation - Dave Schwaderer and Kyle Orr
This class will treat of the various components that make up salvation. Discussion will be divided into consideration of the things that happen prior to conversion, the things that happen at conversion, and the carrying on of the work of salvation to completion. Topics include illumination, conviction, effectual calling, justification, reconciliation, adoption, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification.
Evangelism to the Nations - Nick Lauer, Jim Hebda, Greg Nelson, and Jay Ridenour
As we continue to pray for the Lord to do a great work in our city, we are reminded that God is calling all the nations to His name. Come and hear how worship, prayer, and suffering all are apart of Christ’s call and the Christians responsibility in bringing glory to Christ.

Evangelism - Nick Lauer
Do you have a desire to share the truth of Jesus Christ, but you are convinced you never present it right? Perhaps you have friends who see faith as important but are not sure where to place it. These next nine weeks, Nick will lead you to apprehend both the importance of these questions and a clear and concise way to present the saving truth of Jesus Christ.
The Message of the Bible – Adam Johnson
The Bible is made up of 66 books written by dozens of human authors, but one Spirit inspired them all. When we understand that God is the ultimate Author of all Scripture, we can start to read the Bible as a whole and understand the themes that run through both testaments. Come join us as we spend five weeks in the Old Testament and four in the New, discovering God's message of the Good News of the Kingdom.
Methods: Studying Scripture – Don Kim
Studying the Bible is more than just reading text. Oftentimes, it doesn't take long to get weighed down by its intricacies. Learn to observe, interpret, and apply. Build a theological framework. Let the study of the Word become an integral part of your life, and most importantly, shape the way you view God, humanity, and eternity. Hermeneutics, it's what you need.
“It All Happened Here.” – Jon Hinkson
Stories of the people of God in New Haven across the centuries, including the Christian vision in the founding of New Haven; the Christian vision in the founding of Yale; Revivals and Awakenings and Mission Exploits.

What do Christians Believe? – Greg Hendrickson
With so many voices in the world claiming to know what real Christianity is, how can we be confident in what we believe? Based on the Scripture, come listen and dialogue through foundational principles of faith and doctrine that will draw you closer to God in your everyday life.
