Adult Education

Animate: Bible – Beginning 11 July and running throughout August, we’ll be exploring the central text of our faith – the Bible. How did it come to be in its present form? What is the fundamental story of God that we hear in the Old and New Testaments? What is the most faithful way to interpret scripture? We’ll be using a video-based curriculum called Animate: Bible, featuring leading voices from the Christian faith today. Join teachers Curtis Corl, Harry Cross, Beth Lyon-Suhring, and Steve Suhring Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. in room 204 on the second floor of the education building. The conversation will be richer with you there!

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.
