Adult Weekend Classes
Feeling lost in the crowd? Get connected in our adult classes, which are held during the services each weekend.
Adult classes, or Adult Bible Fellowships (ABF's) as they are known, meet each week during the worship services to learn more about the Bible and how to walk with Christ. ABF's exist to help implement the Bible Chapel’s “Five Essentials.” You will find all the essentials at work in an ABF as believers connect in groups ranging from 20 to 60 people.
In an ABF you will find acceptance, love and support through good times and bad; a place where small groups can be birthed or several small groups combine for greater impact; and a place where you will grow in your faith and in your knowledge of God. Click here for more info about ABF's.
Classes are generally organized by life stage or teaching style. Below is a listing of the various groups, when and where they meet. All classes enjoy fellowship outside of the Sunday classes and plan social activities throughout the year.

Cornerstone (all ages): Room 172. Topics: The Life of David (January) and The Thessalonians Epistles (February-April). Teachers: Jim Means and Carl Yehnert.
1 Thessalonians was written for times like ours. It speaks to a culture filled with seductive images and sexual pressures. It brings eternal perspective to discussions of material things. It questions the secular values that undermine God’s ways. This course provides encouragement to those who have struggled to maintain a pure life in a free¬wheeling society. 2 Thessalonians mostly concerns events surrounding the coming of Christ.
