Spring 2012 College-Adult Sunday School Classes

Apologetics 100 - The Case for Theism featuring On Guard with William Lane Craig
Arthur Young

Why are you a Christian? How would you explain it to a non-Christian? What if the non-Christian not only didn't believe in Jesus but didn't even believe that there is a God? In this class we hope to look at reasons for believing in God and to show that having a belief in God makes sense. We will be going through the DVD series On Guard featuring William Lane Craig and hosted by Bobby Conway. Come and see in this eight week class how and why Christianity is a reasonable faith.

Fundamentals of the Faith
Harry Pon, Hindrik Tan

This is a 13-lesson class based on the workbook "fundamentals of the Faith." The class is geared for new or young beleivers to help build a strong foundation in the faith, but the material can also be refreshing and revitalizing to the older or mature believer with the fundamentals that have enriched and sustained them. At the end of class you will learn about key elements of our faith and be reminded of the beauty of the Gospel.
