When, as God´s people, we develop our faith through study and learning in company with other Christian disciples, we are energized to live as followers of Christ, share the good news of our faith with others, and live out our discipleship by serving the world. Becoming a disciple is a life-long process. Christian Education is not just for children and youth, and studies have shown that commitment to Adult Christian Education is a sign of a vital church.At Asbury we are committed to spirited, lively educational experiences for Adults!
Asbury offers three continuing adult classes on Sundays at 9:45 am. In addition to these classes we have other short term adult study opportunities throughout the year.
Adult Sunday School Classes
Trailblazersis for adults of all ages and meets in the Hospitality Room on the south end of the Atrium.
Adult Bible Study meets in Rooms 1-2 in the West Hall. The class uses the "Adult Bible Studies" series published through Cokesbury, the United methodist Publishing House.
Short Term Classes
Financial Peace Ever thought that money doesn't stretch quite far enough? Feel like you will have to work until you are 90 to be able to live? Credit card debt eating your lunch? Have you been hit particularly hard by the state of our economy? Financial Peace University is the class for you. This lively, entertaining, biblically-based class will teach you to beat debt and build wealth. Asbury hosts this 13 week class several times throughout the year.
Discovery Class is for newcomers to Asbury or longitme members who want a "refresher" course. In seven weeks you will learn about the mission and vision of Asbury church, the history of United Methodism and of this congregation, all of the opportunities that Asbury makes possible for you to grow in your faith, how to get involved in ministry and service, and living as a Christian steward.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the class is the small group time that will give you the chance to get to know other better, and to share your journey of faith.
Disciple I: Becoming Disciple Through Bible Study This class is a conceptual approach to Bible study that builds coherent Biblical themes from beginning to end. It emphasizes discipline reading of Scripture that results in biblically nourished person committed to live as disciples. During the 30-week course, students move through the Scriptures and from Genesis to Revelation. Participants will read more than 80 percent of the Bible. Scripture for each session follows the chronological movement of the biblical story. For more information about Disciple contact Dave Campbell.
