School of Discipleship

At Redeemer, School of Discipleship (our Sunday School) is a key component of our church life as we learn and grow together, building one another up in the faith. We offer classes for all ages, and nursery care is available as well. 
Classes for our spring semester begin on January 14 and continue through April 28, with a two-week spring break (March 10 & 17) and no classes on Easter Sunday.

These are the classes we plan to offer this semester:

Understanding the Old Testament: Room 206
Taught by Pastor Jon Herr and Andrew Waller
In this class, we will examine key questions that help us understand the theology and teaching of the Old Testament from a 1,000-foot view. We also will examine the promise of God’s restoration through the Messiah and his provision for his people in exile and in their return to him. In so doing, we hope to help you unlock the key themes of the Old Testament as it guides and nurtures our faith in every season of life.

History of Worship and the Sacraments: Room 208
Taught by Pastor Marcus Serven and Elder Boyd Murrah

Why do we worship God in the way that we do? In answer to this question we will explore the history of Christian worship in order to show how it has developed throughout the centuries. In particular, we will focus on our roots as Presbyterians and how the Reformation doctrine of Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) became the defining principal in shaping the worship of the Church. Reformed Presbyterians have always been conscious of worshipping God in the way that he wants us to worship him. Please join us as we work our way through the pages of Holy Scripture and examine the worship practices of the Church through the ages.

Faith, Doubt, and Developing Assurance: Room 211
Taught by Elders Gerson Brisola and Joel Pafford

The goal of the class is to create an atmosphere of transparent honesty as we examine God’s word for direction, insight, teaching, encouragement, correction, rebuke, and exhortation– all against the background of our doubt. The special focus would be to exalt God’s tenderness, shining light on his promises, his power, and his willingness to save and keep. We will study Biblical passages displaying God’s grace, tenderness, and reassurance and how they can be effective towards the isolation, self-doubt, doubt about God, pain, and shame that can come with our struggles with doubt.
