Adult Christian Education opportunities at Great Valley Presbyterian Church aim to:
-
Empower disciples to hunger for the truth found in God’s Word and to obey its teachings.
-
Engage all people in the process of becoming more Christ-like.
-
Equip followers of Jesus to serve the Kingdom both in the church and in the community.
-
Enrich relationships within our body of Christ as we study, fellowship, and grow together.
To accomplish this goal, we provide Sunday morning classes that follow a Bible Track (touching on the whole counsel of God) and a Discipleship Track (allowing for teaching and training in application of Scripture).
Bible Track
The Gospel of John
November - December 2026
John’s gospel is filled with Old Testament echoes, New Creation themes, and vivid dynamic imagery which point us to the person of Jesus Christ. In this class, we will explore various key passages with the goal of aligning our hearts (and our actions) more toward our Savior and King.
Discipleship Track
Early Christian Prayer
November - December 2026
Why did the early Christians pray? What did they pray? Why were their prayers so radical? What did their prayers reveal about their identity in Christ? This class will examine prayer in early Christianity and consider the Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts of New Testament and early Christian prayers. We’ll explore some of the history of prayer in Christianity and look at some ancient prayers. As we hear from our ancestors in the faith, we’ll consider how we can apply what we learn to our own individual and collective prayer lives. The class will be a mix of lecture and discussion.
