Adult Sunday School

Sunday School for all ages and the Nursery are available.

Leader: Pastor Pat Testerman


Are you interested in becoming a member of our church? Are you interested in learning more about church membership? This class will review the biblical precedent for church membership. We will have discussions throughout the class.


Book: Bible


Homework: Weekly

Crosstalk

Where Live and Scripture Meet

Leader: Jeff Haavisto


A relative was just diagnosed with an incurable disease. Someone in your small group is depressed. Your friends are having marital troubles. When those you know and love experience trouble, you don't want to hand out pat answers or religious platitudes. Instead, you want to offer real help and real hope from God’s word to people in a way that touches their hearts and life.


When you learn to read the Bible and “read" people you can use the Scriptures to help people grow to love God and others more fully in the midst of their complex daily lives. This class will help you understand both people and the Bible more thoroughly, to build the skill of interpreting the biblical text and interpreting the person.


Book: Optional, we will not go through one book exclusively but will be using material from Crosstalk: Where Life and Scripture Meet by Mike Emlet and Saints, Sufferers, and Sinners: Loving Others As God Loves Us by Michael R. Emlet


Homework: none

The Gospel and Work

Teacher: Scott Smalley


As Pastors, we have to have a balance. We need not only be able to equip people for the work of the ministry inside the church, but also equip believers to disciple and serve in the world.


How does your faith relate to your work? Join Scott Smalley in this 8 week course on The Gospel and Work.


You'll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask: What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What Gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my coworkers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do you prioritize - or balance - work, family, and church responsibilities?


Solidly grounded in the Gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own - to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.


Book: None


Homework: None

Teacher: Dennis Lommen and Dan HeHart


God owns everything. We are his stewards. So this class will look at the things God's given us--our money, health, time, skills--and see God's purpose for them. We'll look to Scripture to see why he gave them to us, how we're to use them, and the dangers to avoid. 


Book: no book


Homework: no homework

Next Adult Sunday School Class

Starts April 7, 2024

Sunday School for all ages and the Nursery are available.

What it Means to be the

Body of Christ

Beginning April 7th, we will start a 7-week Sunday School series to address these two questions:

  1. What is the Church?
  2. What is Faith Community Bible Church?

This class is intended for all members and non-members as we discuss what it means to be the "Body of Christ," and specifically what that looks like in our context as a local congregation. For those considering joining FCBC, this will also serve as a membership class.


There is no book required for this class; however, we will be referencing Rediscover Church: Why the Body of Christ is Essential, by Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman. We have some copies available, and would like to purchase more for those who need them. If we order soon, we can get them much cheaper ($5 + flat rate shipping) than list price ($12.99), so if you need a book, please tell us by Sunday, March 24th!


Also, if you are planning to take this as a membership class, please indicate this on the sign-up sheet. Please sign-up in Palmer Hall or with your One Church app.
