Adult Education
Sharpen your pencils, grab your Bibles, and join an adult church school class on Sunday mornings. St. Andrew will offer three choices for adults this fall:
The Walk: 5 Essential Practices of the Christian Life by Adam Hamilton. Jesus’ life reveals what it looks like to live a life with God. Author Adam Hamilton explores five essential spiritual practices that Jesus demonstrated, which enable us to grow personally and in the life of the church. Join us as we examine worship and prayer, study, service, giving, and sharing the Gospel with others. The Jack Holladay Class, led by Frances Jornov, meets in Room 206 on the second floor of the education building.
Being Disciples: Essentials of the Christian Life by Rowan Williams. Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, says that “discipleship is a state of being.” This class will explore what is required of us to follow Jesus and grow in the faith. The Challenge of Faith Class, led by Steve Suhring, meets in Room 204 on the second floor of the education building.
They Walked with God: 40 Bible Characters Who Inspire Us by Max Lucado. Each week the class will take a look at a different character in scripture, exploring their story in the context of their time. Author Max Lucado brings these characters to life and shares the crucial message: if God can find a place for each character in the Bible, we can rest assured that he’s carved out a spot for us too. The Homebuilders Class, comprised of parents of children of all ages and led by Karen and Mike Topping and Becky and Shaun Nagy, meets in Room 101 on the first floor of the education building.
FAQS
Will I have to do homework?
No, not unless you want to do more reading on your own.
My spouse works on Sundays. May I come by myself?
Absolutely!
I often have to travel and won’t be able to come every week. Is that OK?
Yes! All our lives are busy, and our classes allow you to gain (and contribute!) whenever you can come.
Do I need to know a lot about the Bible and Scripture to participate?
We have students of the Word at all different levels in each of our classes. No need to have your Bible books memorized or show off your ability to quote chapter and verse.
I’m shy. Will I have to speak in class?
We want everyone to feel welcomed and comfortable. While we value discussion and sharing, we love those who just want to listen and absorb.
I don’t really feel as if I have my faith all worked out. Are there others like me?
Yes, there are. Our classes are often as much about the questions as they are about the answers, and you will find groups of people who are honestly wrestling with what it means to be a child of God.
