Everything You Need to Know About Our Upcoming Bible Classes

This Sunday, September 3 will be the final Sunday for the summer quarter. That means on Wednesday night, September 6th we're starting a new quarter of Bible classes. I'm really excited about the classes we're going to offer this year. 

I'm excited about the new approach we're taking to our Sunday morning Bible classes. Since it's a little different from what we've done in the past, I want to briefly explain what's different. 

You'll stay in the same class for the entire year.

We're going to offer four classes each quarter for the next 12 months. The four class locations are: The Parlor, Room 208, Room 213, and Room 214. You will stay in that class until the end of the summer 2018 quarter. 

Each class has a host couple that will stay with the class all year. The hosts are...

• The Parlor: Doug & Jackie Key
• Room 208: Greg & Lisa Rhoden
• Room 213: John & Rosemary Ramsey
• Room 214: Mark & Mary Mike Sullivan

You're free to choose the class you want to attend. We only ask that you do your best to keep the classes upstairs evenly attended. 

The teachers will rotate to you.

We're going to offer four classes for the next year. The class participants will stay in the same location but the teachers will rotate. Over the course of the next year you'll have the opportunity to be in every class we're offering.

The classes will be taught by teams of four teachers. The classes are...
​

• Class: Hebrews, Teachers: Steve Davis, Justin Williams, Tyler Simmons, and John Ramsey
• Class: A Study in the Gospels, Teachers: Ken Smelser, Justin Allen, John Tyra, and Greg Rhoden
• Class: Good Faith, Teachers: David Breedlove, Andy Boykin, Chad Streetman, and Doug Key
• Class: Comeback Churches, Teachers: Jimmy Warren, Tim Dreyfus, Neil Reynolds, and Mark Sullivan​

Why did we make this move?

There are several reasons why we think this is going to result in a better class experience for everyone. 

• It engages more people in the process of teaching
• The model is set up to develop teachers
• The teachers focus more time on developing fewer classes which makes the class experience better for you
• Our hope is that this will make it easier to recruit and train new teachers in the future​

Feel free to ask questions in the comments and we'll do our best to answer. Have a great weekend!
