Adult Education at Asbury

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.

Faith Seekers

Faith Seekers formerly called Families of Faith Class meets on the second floor of the West Hall. The class welcomes adults of all ages.

Trailblazers

Trailblazers Class is for adults of all ages and meets in the Hospitality Room on the south end of the Atrium.

Adult Bible Study

The Adult Bible Study meets in Room 3 in the West Hall. The class uses the "Adult Bible Studies" series published through Cokesbury, the United methodist Publishing House.

Short Term Classes

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.

Alpha is a 12-week practical introduction to the Christian faith that includes a marvelous dinner and a lively video each week, along with small group discussions. Two other classes for Alpha graduates are held at the same time as the basic course, one based on the Book of Philippians, and the other a Marriage Enrichment Course. For more information on Alpha go the the Alpha link under Ministries.

ChristCare A ChristCare Group is a gathering of 3-12 people that meet on a regular basis to care for one another, worship and pray together, study how scripture equips us to serve Christ, and then serve together. There are five ChristCare groups at Asbury that are open to new members. The groups are listed under the link ChristCare under Ministries.
