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
Jesus' World: The Gospels
November-December 2025
What was Jesus’ world like? This class begins to answer that question by looking at the socio-cultural, political, economic, and religious dynamics of the first century. As we explore Jesus’ world, we’ll look at passages in the Gospels to see how understanding that world can enrich our reading and interpretation of the New Testament. The class format will be lecture with time for questions
Discipleship Track
The Family and Parenting: A Biblical Perspective
November-December 2025
How important is the family? What is the family's role and function in society? What is meant by the term 'covenant family’? What are some essential truths that Christian parents should affirm? What are some current societal perspectives on the family that don't align with Scripture? How does the Gospel shape Christian parenting? How can we take a fresh look at Christian fatherhood and motherhood? These are just some of the topics we will be looking at in this class on the family during November and December.
