Adult education classes
Fulfilling the responsibilities of the church to make disciples and to educate them in the teachings given by Jesus and the Apostles (Matt. 28:19-20; 1 Cor. 11:2; Eph.4:11-16), the Adult Education classes provide regular and in-depth teaching on biblical doctrine and Christian living. The material in this class is more exhaustive and requires more work from attendees than the adult Sunday school class, giving a greater depth than that available during Sunday morning classes.
Current Adult Education Class
Gospel In Life Class
Gospel living changes the world. The Gospel in Life class is an 8-session course on the gospel and how to live it out in all of life— first in our hearts, then in our community, and ultimately out into the world. This class runs Tuesday evenings, 7:00-8:30 PM, April 23rd-June 18th.
Course fee: $15 (Scholarships available | Materials provided).
Past Adult Education Class
Sound Doctrine Class
Thinking rightly about God affects everything, from guiding us in practical issues to growing a church’s unity and witness. In this class, we learned how sound doctrine is vital for living a godly life, and the essential role of theology in the life of a healthy church. This class ran Tuesday evenings, 7:00-8:30 PM, February 19th-April 9th.
Course fee: $15 (Scholarships available | Materials provided).
Adult Sunday School
Adult Sunday school is a class that meets weekly at 8:30 AM, prior to Sunday worship service, to provide small-group teaching in sound doctrine and Bible study with opportunities for attendees to engage in discussion and dialogue with each other and with the facilitator. The object of this program is to give greater understanding of God’s Word to God’s people, encouraging them to serve the Church body and to glorify our Lord Jesus with what they learn.
Current Sunday School Topic
Currently, the Adult Sunday School class is using John Stott’s, Jesus Christ Bible study guide to explore the Christ of the New Testament. In it, attendees discover Jesus as the proper object of worship, witness and hope.
Family Ministries Classes
Responding to our cultural need to minister to young families, an after-church teaching program equips parents and spouses with biblical knowledge and tools. Calvary Community Church hosts two of these classes per annum, in the Spring and in the Fall.
Past Family Ministries Class
Calvary Community Church hosted a 6-week study on Tim Keller’s, The Meaning of Marriage. The course showed everyone, “Christians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engaged the vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible”.
Doulos Pastoral Residency Program (DPRP)
The Local Church requires spiritually mature, doctrinally sound and wise pastors and elders to lead it biblically and to the glory of Christ. Rather than hope these kinds of believers can be found, the prudent and responsible course to take is to raise these leaders from within the church family. This can be done by investing in the biblical instruction of persons who are gifted and called to leadership within an ecclesiastical context. The Doulos Pastoral Residency Program, is a two-year residency designed to train and educate people from our own church family through intensive instruction to be the future leaders that will be needed in the Local Church going forward.
Second year currently in session. — Closed enrollment.
Upcoming class begins in September of 2019. — Open enrollment.
Ezra Gospel Program
The Ezra Gospel Program is a leadership program designed to create disciples who make disciples. The goal is to create mature followers of Jesus who are not only trained and equipped to serve as mature Christ-followers in the Local Church, but can also live-out and pass on the biblical teachings they have learned to others. The Ezra Gospel Program is a 1-year discipleship program created with the future deacon, small group leader, or other gospel leader in mind and integrates theological, missional and gospel-centered content in a small, 6-8 person Socratic study cohort.
Upcoming class begins in September of 2019. — Open enrollment.
