Adult Bible Fellowship

Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF) classes provide an environment where people can connect in fellowship and engage in a more intimate study of the Bible. Study topics change throughout the year and offer a wide range of themes. 


ABF classes meet Sunday mornings at 9am. Locations specified below.

  • Location: Upper room (above Multipurpose room)


    TEachers: Lee Strappello, Matt & Rita Biddle, Pastor Ryan & Laura Ritchey, James Greenawalt, Pastor Brant Leidy, and class members

    Class Overview: Geared toward college aged/young career adults.

     

    Topic: In this world you may feel insignificant which may cause you to feel insecure and fearful.  But as believers in Jesus we rest in our Savior who defines our security and significance.  We will be looking at topics such as:  Being free from condemnation. All things work together for good. We can not be separated from God’s love.  We are hidden in Christ.  God is perfecting His work in us.  I am a citizen of heaven.  I don’t have a spirit of fear but one of power and love.  I can find grace and mercy in my time of need.  Satan can’t touch me.  I am a minister of reconciliation.  And others.


  • Location: Basement Class 001


    TEACHERS: SKIP & KERRY JEFFRIES AND PASTOR RUDY & LINDSEY SHEPTOCK

    Class Overview: A strong foundation is necessary for anything to stand strong, including marriage. This class is designed to help engaged and newlywed couples build a foundation that is grounded on God's design and purpose for marriage.  


    Topic: This Fall, we will discuss and wrestle through the important topics of communication, finances, and perspectives in marriage.

  • Location: Fellowship Hall


    Teachers: Arlin Roth, Ryan Deitle, Pastor Rudy and mentor couples

    Class Overview: This class is devoted to encouraging one another as parents. Parents with kids from newborns to college age are welcome to attend. Our class name comes from 3 John 1:4 "I have no greater joy than to know that my children are walking in the truth." 

     

    Topic: As the class returns in September we will enjoy the series called “Undistracted” by Bob Goff. You have permission to eliminate distractions to live a more fulfilling life. Topics include: Undistracted in attitude, service, relationships, faith and purpose. Distractions can get you stuck in the past, worried about the present, and frazzled by any future you could possibly fret over. It’s time to move to God’s purpose and joy.  


    In October, Pastor Rudy will lead a study on Parenting by Paul Tripp. It’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents and we can often feel overwhelmed by the pressures of raising our kids. What we need more than the latest strategy or techniques is the intervening grace of God as provided through the Gospel. This grace has the power to shape the way we think of parenting as well as the things we do. Whether you’re seasoned in parenthood or you’re just getting started, these Biblical truths are for you!


    In November and December, we will have guest couple mentors to share about their marriages and families.  


  • Location: Multipurpose Room


    Teacher: Pastor Brian McCaLL

    Class Overview: The make-up of the class is not age specific. While some of the participants have younger and teenage children, many are “empty nesters”. This broad range of life experiences makes the Son Seekers appealing to a wide array of ages.


    Topic: We often read scripture in an effort to see what is in it for us. The Bible is God's revelation of himself. A better way to consider his word is what does he want to show us about himself. Over the next several weeks we will be studying through some of the most important chapters in scripture. We will take an in-depth look at John 1, Romans 8, John 14 and other passages. As we proceed, we will first try to discern what God is like from these pages. As a result, we can then make application to our own faith as well. Join us as we consider Key Chapters of the Bible.


  • Location: basement class 005


    Teacher: Tom Schneider and Chris Dunn

    Class Overview: Varying ages from middle age through retirement age regularly attend the Ambassador class each Sunday. They enjoy spending time together in class as well as outside the class at regular social events. 

    Topic: Join the Ambassador Class for a study on the book of Ecclesiastes. Together, we will be challenged to maintain a perspective that is focused on our Eternal God, not the temporary things this human world has to offer.

  • Location: Room 101 (Behind Multipurpose Room)


    Teacher: Danny Horton

    Class Overview: The Berachah Class is generally comprised of men and women ages 55 and over.

    Topic: As we head into the fall, the Berachah class will be continuing a study using the book, Handbook for Christian Living: Biblical Answers to Life’s Tough Questions by Pastor Charles Stanley. This book covers a wide variety of topics of interest to Christians, including eternal security, grief, contentment, the occult and the unpardonable sin, as well as several chapters on end times topics such as the Antichrist, Armageddon and the Millennium. We will be taking a look at selected chapters – chosen by the class members – on issues that are important to them, comparing what our culture says to what the Bible teaches about these current issues.
