Our Weekly Sunday School Classes:
Adult Class: Fellowship HallLast Spring, we asked the questions “Who is this Jesus?” and “What did he come to do?” as we walked through the book of Mark.
This Fall’s Sunday School for adults will cover Psalm 23. We will consider the implications of what it means for Jesus to be our Good Shepherd - confidence, hope, and assurance among others. This great passage is so well known yet so unknown in life.
Come join us as we journey through these short verses. We will start promptly at 9:30 and end at 10:15.

Previous Sunday School Classes
THE MISSION OF WESTMINSTER:
Who Are We and Where Are We Going?
In this 6-week class, we will cover the mission and vision of Westminster. The mission of the church is Christ's mission to make disciples (Matt 28). Each disciple has a new identity in Christ, which redefines what we love and what we live for. At Westminster, we are seeking to live out this new identity through three key areas: Word, Table, and World. In this class we will unpack our new identity and how this new identity is lived out through the areas of Word, Table, and World. The last two weeks of the class, we will walk through the membership vows that members of Westminster take when joining. The vows outline the gospel and what it means to be a part of God's covenant community, the Church.
THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE:
Celebrating the Sovereign Grace of God
In this 5-week class, we will be teaching on the Reformed understanding of salvation. We will do so by walking through what is commonly referred to as TULIP, which describes our condition before God and His sovereign grace at work in our lives to save us. For those new to the Reformed faith of a Presbyterian Church (PCA), this is a wonderful introduction to these doctrines, which are the bedrock of our confession of faith, the Westminster Standards.
REFORMATION CHURCH HISTORY:
Reformation in Motion
In this 6-week class, we will be exploring the Protestant Reformation of the 16th and 17th centuries. It was in the midst of this Reformation that the Presbyterian Church took root, a tradition of which we are still a part.
We will have three distinguished scholars as guest speakers. On February 10, Dr. Michael Graves of Wheaton College will be speaking on Augustine, the Church Father that had the greatest influence on the theology of the Reformation. On February 17, Dr. Scott Manetsch of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) will be speaking on John Calvin, whose Institutes continue to this day to be one of the most influential formulations of the Reformed faith. Finally, on February 24, Dr. Douglas Sweeney, also from TEDS, will be speaking on Jonathan Edwards, America's greatest theologian.
Each of these men are experts in their field, and it is a tremendous privilege to have them take part in this class.
GOSPEL CARE:
Proclaiming the Hope of Christ to One Another
In this 6-week class, we will be learning how to more effectively care for one another. This class will help us to learn how the story of our growth as believers (sanctification) fits into God's story of salvation in Christ. We will learn the tools necessary to help connect our stories to God's story by learning how to listen, ask good questions, and meaningfully point others to the good news of Jesus Christ. We will end the class by applying this approach to three common areas of difficulty in the Christian life: fear, anger, and escape.
