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
2 Kings 1-18
September - October 2024
This course will focus on the events in the Northern Kingdom of Israel with a focus on the ministry of Elijah and his successor Elisha. We’ll see how, despite God revealing His message through the prophets, the nation of Israel did not repent and eventually fell to the Assyrian Empire. Additionally, we will study scripture from the Old and New Testament to illustrate the significance the events of 2 Kings in the broader context of God’s redemptive plan.
Discipleship Track
Wrestling with Discouragement, Depression and Anxiety
September - October 2024
Many of the saints in Scripture struggled with discouragement, depression, and anxiety. Today, there is often a stigma around those who battle these things...as though real believers should not or will not wrestle with such things. Scripture, however tells us that not only is it common for the saints to wrestle with these things, but that often, God chooses to meet us precisely in and through such wrestlings. Join us as we take a look at saints and Scriptures that lead us into hope when wrestling with discouragement, depression, and anxiety.
