Adult Sunday School

Sunday Morning Opportunities to Study God's Word

We have many classes for adults during the Sunday School hour (9:00 to 10:00 a.m.) that are offered on an ongoing basis. These classes rotate teachers and topics. Anyone is welcome to join any class at any time. The current classes and topics are:

Contemporary Class 

Topic: Waiting for Christmas!  

Remember the count down that appeared on the front page of each day’s newspaper?  “18 Shopping Days Until Christmas.”  We thought Christmas would never arrive!  The coming of the promised Messiah was a constant expectation for the ancient people of Israel.  The prophets spoke of it.  Abraham and the patriarchs were given the promise.  David renewed the promise.  Messiah would deliver the nation from its enemies.  In the New Testament we read the words of real people who waited:  Elizabeth and Zechariah.  Mary, the Mother of Jesus.  Simeon and Anna.  Even John the Baptist.

​

This discussion-based class seeks to apply the truth of Scripture to the questions and issues of todays world.  Members include men and women and welcomes all ages.

Fellowship Class

Current Topic: The Book of Acts

The Book of Acts picks up where the Gospels end. It is the story of the early church, which was not a religious club but rather a channel for the flow of God's Good News, offering salvation to a world in need. We are still a world in need - 2,000 years later. Luke describes how the early Christians worshipped and gives examples of good and bad behaviors that they engaged in.

​

The longest meeting adult Sunday School class at Yorkminster, the Fellowship class studies the Bible every week. We are a “read and discuss” group with four facilitators rotating in the leader’s chair. We use a textbook provided by David C. Cook publishers and highlight one or more books in each thirteen-week study. Occasionally we will stop the textbook studies for a few weeks and participate in a Lenten or Advent study. We encourage students to read the version of the Bible they like and often cite the differences in phrases and word used. Personal experiences spice up the classes as
both teachers and students share examples of Christian living.

Disciple Class 
Current Topic: Essential Guide to Becoming a Disciple

Dennis Allen is committed to developing disciples.  He was a Langley F-15 pilot, then a national and international business CEO, served in the leadership of startup, mid-size and mega churches and is an Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics alumnus.

Questions his book generates:   

  • Why are millennials leaving the church in droves? 

  • Why do pastors and staff members work themselves to exhaustion while most church members just warm the pews? 

  • Why do believers war with one another instead of pulling together? 

  • Why has society stopped listening to the concerns of Christians? 

  • Are we forging reproductive disciples or just multiplying 'Christianized' spectators?

Lean how we can Build Disciples with a study of "Essential Guide to Becoming a Disciple."
