For our Adult Classes, we generally have three classes available for Adults to attend each semester: a Bible Class, a Christian Life Class, and a College Class.

Coming up on March 24th through May 12th, we will have the following offerings:

• College Class: The Book of Psalms

  Teachers: Bill Reynolds and Kyle Strom

  Breakfast served every Sunday morning. While geared for students of VT, RU, and NRCC, we love to have a few older adults attend the class as well. See Bill Reynolds or Kyle Strom if interested. If you are a college student and need a ride, please contact one of our RUF Interns: Cam Coffee or Katie Schlenker.

   

• Bible Class: Ephesians: Walking with Christ

  Teachers: David Poteet & Trevor Kimzey

  Paul wrote his letter to the churches around Ephesus (western Turkey) around 62 AD. This letter is mind blowing – Paul opens the mystery of the Gospel: how God has blessed us by uniting us to Christ, and how in Christ not only are we reconciled to God, but the dividing wall between enemies and strangers is torn down. Jews and Gentiles are unified in Messiah Jesus - but not uniform! God gifts us and gives us to each other to create a diverse and beautiful body with Jesus as our head. But diversity is still challenging, so Paul shows us what that looks like in the church, in families, and in our workplace. Join us to see how the gospel reorients every relationship!

• Women’s Class: 1 Peter: Hope in the Midst of Hardship

  Teacher: Christi Schroader

  As believers, what does it mean to navigate suffering well? That’s what 1 Peter is about. It teaches us to anchor ourselves in the work of Jesus and to hold onto the hope of a glorious eternity with God. From that foundation, it shows us how live with integrity, perseverance, and courage for the sake of Christ. As we’re learning from 1 Peter, we’ll also be building skills that are useful for studying any New Testament epistle (letter).  

   

• Men’s Class: God Dwells Among Us: Tracing the Theme of Temple through Scripture

  Teachers: Doug Bowman, Riley Fitzgerald, & Taylor Rollo

  One way to look at the story of Scripture is to work through the Bible in big chunks, focusing on themes. This class will survey the biblical story from the theme of Temple. God has always desired to dwell among us in a temple, but did sin entering the world derail His plans? Not at all. He has worked unstoppably to increase His presence among us from the temple of Eden, through the OT, to the temple of Jesus, and to the temple of the New Heavens and New Earth. This class will trace this theme of Temple using the book God Dwells Among Us. Books are available on the book table for $15, but even if you cannot read the chapter each week, please still join us because you can still learn and contribute!
