Adult Sunday School (9:30AM)

current study: Clarifying the good news that keeps us growing

Adult Sunday school is temporarily suspended during the pandemic.

Our discipleship plan emphasizes four key areas of growing maturity:

  • Thirsting for Christ (the gospel),
  • Reaching out with Christ's love,
  • Exalting God in worship, and
  • Evangelizing the lost.

These four key areas form the acronym TREE. We teach through each major area of discipleship theme in regular rotation. 

 

Small Groups

1st and 3rd Sunday evenings

Small  groups are also suspended during the pandemic.

We currently have two small groups that meet on first and third Sundays for fellowship and a time of prayer, singing, and Bible study. See the bulletin for details on times, locations, and current studies. Newcomers can join either group, anytime. Details on time and location are provided in that Sunday's bulletin.

 

 

 

WHY SUNDAY SCHOOL?

Christ called us to be and to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching to observe all that Christ commanded. At Bethel we have developed a plan for making disciples. First, since only the gospel grows believers, we proclaim the good news of what God has done for us in Christ as the sum and substance of every Sunday school lesson—without exception. Second, we focus on four key areas of growth and plan our teaching around them. Based on Scripture, a mature disciple is characterized by four basic attributes, summarized in the acronym TREE:
  • Thirsting for Christ
  • Reaching Others (loving others as Christ has loved us)
  • Exalting God (in all of life)
  • Evangelizing (sharing the good news with others)
Adult Sunday school regularly teaches through these four topics to stir growth. By working out the implications of the gospel for each topic, we trust God will grow and mature us in Christ.
