Adult Education

EVERY ONE A DISCIPLE: We believe learning and becoming more like Christ is a life-long pursuit.

We hope every adult will be part of a discipleship group and classes! New class members always welcome!

Sundays (Feb. 22 - Apr. 5)

10:00 - 10:40 AM; Lenten Groups, “Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Saving Graces: The Journey from Self to Christ”; Fellowship Hall

During the season of Lent, we will have Lenten Small Groups on Sunday mornings at 10:00-10:40 a.m., February 22 through April 5, in lieu of Sunday school. We encourage all adults, middle, and high school students to participate! Not only are these small groups a wonderful opportunity to study and discuss God’s word together, but they are also a great way to meet more people in the congregation.

Mondays

2:00 - 3:30 PM, RAMS (Reading About My Savior) Men’s Bible Study; Teacher: Doug Jenkins; Room 200

We continue our study into the world of the New Testament beyond Paul’s letters and discover the grit, courage, and hope of 1 Peter—a book written to men standing firm in the face of real-life challenges. This study will uncover how Peter’s words equip us to lead with integrity, endure hardship without compromise, and live boldly for Christ in today’s culture. If you’re ready for straight talk, practical faith, and a call to spiritual toughness, this is your study.

7:00 - 8:30 PM; Community Bible Study: The Book of Psalms; Teachers: CBS leaders; A 30-week interdenominational study with men’s, women’s and co-ed small groups.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed or even just worn out by life, you're not alone! The Book of Psalms reveals how, throughout history, God has brought peace to people experiencing the same troubles you may be today. The Book of Psalms has served as the hymnbook and prayerbook of God’s people from ancient times into the present day. Known as The Psalter, this collection of Holy Spirit–inspired poetry captures the highs and lows of life. The psalms are powerful prayers, guiding us into honest communication with God. They validate our doubts, passions, fears, and longings and show us how to draw near to God in our struggles. This Bible study organizes the psalms thematically, making it easier to grasp their main ideas and apply them to your own conversations with God. Register here: https://athenseve.cbsclass.org/.

Tuesdays

9:30 - 11:00 AM; Women’s Bible Study - Joshua: Every Good Promise Fulfilled; Teacher: Rev. Deb Trimpe; Room 100

The book of Joshua chronicles God’s continuing faithfulness to fulfill His covenant promises to Abraham. It is a book of transitions, in which Joshua rises to leadership and the people of God step across the Jordan into the long-awaited land of promise. The task of possessing the land will test the limits of their strength and their courage, but God’s covenant will not fail them. And Joshua’s faithful example will whisper toward the perfect faithfulness of Christ Himself. In this 10-session, verse-by-verse study of the book of Joshua, we’ll see how God’s commands, though sometimes difficult, are always rooted in His steadfast love for His people. Israel’s story is our story. We battle not against flesh and blood as they did, but we courageously war against the temptations of the world, trusting in the finished work of the true and better Joshua, Jesus Christ.

10:00 - 11:00 AM; Men’s Bible Study - The Gospel of Luke; Teacher: Dr. Bob Bohler; Room 207

Join us for a men’s Bible study that dives deeply into the Gospel of Luke, guided by insights from our pastor using his own commentary. Together, we will explore Luke’s portrait of Jesus—his teachings, miracles, and interactions with people—while uncovering practical lessons for living as faithful men in today’s world. This study combines careful scripture reading with thoughtful discussion, offering both theological depth and real-life application. Come ready to engage, reflect, and grow in your walk with Christ alongside other men seeking to follow him faithfully.
