"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in
Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just
as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."
Colossians 2:6-7 ESV
Purpose: Provide a fundamental understanding of the Bible
and the Christian faith.
The Plan: At this point 12 classes have been identified as
"Core Classes". These classes will be taught every 3 years.
Whenever a core class is taught on Sunday morning the plan is
to offer that class again on Sunday evening for those who may
not be able to attend the morning session.
The second category has been identified as "Elective
Classes". These will not necessarily be repeated.
When? The classes will be offered on Sunday mornings from
9:00 to 10:15 am and on Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30
pm.
Each class will continue for 13 weeks, then a new quarter
with different classes will begin. Each year there will be 4
quarters with different classes offered in each of those 13 week
periods.
