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
Joshua
September - October 2026
The central message of the book of Joshua is: “God keeps His promises.”
God promised Abraham that he would give his descendants the land of Canaan. Joshua was God’s chosen instrument to fulfil that promise with Israel, and He commissioned him with the commands to be “courageous” and to “be careful to obey all the law.” Joshua faithfully led Israel into the land, possessing it as God promised. As he neared the end of his life and the conclusion of his commission, Joshua challenged the Israelites to “chose whom you will serve,” declaring; “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD”. At his death Joshua, like Moses, was called “the servant of the LORD.”
In this series we will look at Joshua and his calling to God's service in leadership and obedience.

Missional Living: from Seat to Street
September - October 2026
Throughout Scripture, followers of Christ are consistently called to live missionally — across cultures, life stages, and generations. Missional living is not another program, nor is it reserved for those gifted with energetic speech or a particular kind of personality. Rather, it is a framework for understanding everyday life as an intentional assignment from God.
This 5-week study explores God’s heart for mission, beginning with His blessing and commission to His people in Genesis, tracing the missionary witness of the early church in the New Testament, and culminating in what it means for us to live as people who are “sent” today. Together, we’ll consider how the gospel moves us from simply taking our seat among God’s people to taking our place in the street — carrying His presence, love, and good news into the ordinary places He has already sent us.
