Sunday school classes are on-going communities that meet for the purpose of growth in Christ through teaching and fellowship. Interactive instruction includes large and small group discussion that provides both a place to learn about God’s Word and a place to connect with members of Covenant. Visit our Resources Page for audio from select Sunday School classes.
Fall Classes
Understanding the Word of God on Every Page
Classroom: Annex 1
Jesus said that we are truly his disciples if we abide in his word, and if so, “we will know the truth, and the truth will set us free.” But what does it mean to accurately abide in God’s word? It may shock us to know that there are ways to read the word of God but misunderstand it and misapply it. How then can we study to interpret the Scriptures as God would want us to understand them? This class seeks to be a guide for reading, studying, and applying the Scriptures for all their worth. This kind of study is better known as biblical hermeneutics. We want you to have the tools that Scripture gives us in order to understand a passage in context, identify proper themes and illustrations, and find Christ on every page. Join us for a practical class that will make you a better student of God’s word, and, where possible, a better teacher of God’s word. This class is taught by Pastor Aaron Roberts.
Acts: The Power that Changes the World
Classroom: Multi-purpose Room West
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Acts is a continuation of the gospels in that it is all about Jesus. It is about Jesus and His great work to grow His church through His people. And He is still growing His church through His people today! Come and be encouraged as we consider the call of Jesus to be His witnesses even to the end of the earth! Copies of the Gospel-Centered Life workbook Acts: The Power That Changes The World are available to purchase at our Book Nook. This class is taught by member Ryan Ritter and Pastor Joe Slater.
College Fellowship
Classroom: Multi-purpose Room East
College students, join us each week for food and fellowship as we discuss what it looks like to live in light of the gospel. We will explore the practical implications of spiritual realities like justification, sanctification, and adoption. This class is a great way to get connected to the church while being challenged to grow in your love for the Lord. This class is taught by Pastor Tim Frost.
Welcome to Covenant Class
Classroom: Annex 5
Welcome to Covenant (Membership Class) Annex 5 | See class description and registration information in announcement in Covenant Family Life section of the bulletin. If you have questions about the class, contact Sarah Plonsky. This class is taught by Pastor Burress McCombe.
The Walk (taught in Spanish)
Classroom: C207
We will work through Steve Smallman’s book The Walk. It is written to those who have an expressed the desire to follow Christ as his disciple. It assumes no prior understanding of what that means, nor does it assume that the person has actually come to a point of professing faith. It uses as a starting point a Roman pagan who is newly converted and wondering, “What next?” but also regularly addresses those who have grown up “Christian” and may take for granted the realities that would be new to a recent convert. This class is taught by Pastor Phil Mahaffey.
All Nations
Classroom: Library
This class provides a welcoming environment to connect across language and cultural differences as we visit, read the sermon’s Scripture passage, pray together and have open discussion. This class is led by several members including Kellie Grathwol, Deb Grathwol, and Jeremy Samsoe.
