Below is a list of our currect adult education classes, including the teachers, locations and topics of each class.

  • Misconceptions of the Christian Faith

Matt Looloian, Jason Froelich | Room B-113

What do Christians believe? It’s an important question we all should know the answer to. But just as important is understanding what Christians don’t believe. Many people in our culture have misconceptions and misunderstandings of what Christians do and don’t believe. In this class, we’ll examine the differences in a few key areas.

  • The Marriage Covenant

Andrew & Leah Kneisler | Conference Room

Even though marriage involves a legal contract, a covenant goes beyond the minimum rights and responsibilities guaranteed by a contract. A covenant calls the spouses to share in the free total, faithful, and fruitful love of God. For it is God who joins the spouses in a more binding and sacred way than any human contract.  Let’s explore scripture together, whether you are married or in a dating relationship, and come learn about how scripture can be instrumental in this godly union.

  • Growing Deeper: a study in spiritual renewal

Rick Morefield, Sam Valenzuela, Judi Stradinger, Bob Bonness | Library

The class will provide an interactive opportunity to grow deeper by studying six areas of the Christian life: prayer-filled life, virtuous life, spirit-empowered life, compassionate life, Word-centered life, and sacramental life. We will read selections from great devotional writers including C.S. Lewis, St. Augustine, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.  The goal is to nurture a balanced and living faith in everyone who attends.  This class is well suited for both new and mature Christians.

  • Know What They Believe - World Religions

Ron & Kay Sterk, David Lefebvre | Room B-4

Ever wonder what other religions believe and how differ from Christianity? Get an overview of about 30 of the most prominent, and some not-so-prominent but interesting, world religions. Since most religions will be covered in one class, this is an ideal study to drop in at any time.

  • Walking Through the Bible

Mark Chinery, John Looloian | Room B-4

This course presents a comprehensive introduction to “The Bible as a Whole.”  We will focus on more than learning about each book and its contents. We will go in-depth to see the inter-connections among the many parts of the entire Bible, as it speaks to us of God, faith, people, life and relationships.  In this class you will move beyond learning details about people, events and places in the Bible toward a richer new understanding of the Word of God.

  • Passage Ways: study methods to explore God's Word

Tom Sliffe, Debbie McHenry, Al Hedrick | Library

Join us to use Bible study methods to unlock truths from God’s Word. We will look at a different passage every week so you can jump in at any point. There will be opportunity to experience fellowship with the purpose of developing intentional relationships. If you would like to get better acquainted with other Covenant Chapel people and God’s Word, we’d love to have you join us!

  • Followership 101: an exploration of the Christian faith

Rob & Kim Merrill, Eric & Cathy Knudsen | Conference Room

Jesus asked folks to do more than just believe in him.  He called us to FOLLOW HIM.  “F-101” is an exploration of the basic truths and teachings of the Christian faith.  Each week, we’ll discuss practical topics like faith, relationships, prayer, money, Bible study, church, family, culture and temptation.  In these important matters of life, just what is Jesus asking of His followers?   What difference does it make how we respond to His call?
