Short Term Classes

Romans — It is difficult to overstate the importance of Romans in Christian tradition.  Some of the great formers and re-formers of church teaching were themselves formed by their reading of Romans.  As a result, Paul’s teachings in Romans come to us mediated through the history of the church’s interpretations of his letter.

Tuesday, 6:00-7:30 p.m., begins October 19, Room 216, Cornerstone Building

Responses from DISCIPLE Participants...  DISCIPLE is like having a personal trainer!  With a well prepared program and a committed Christian instructor; it is the opportunity to share your faith journey with a small group who do the same in the spirit of Christian love.  No one in our class wanted it to end! ~ Steve Floyd  The benefit of DISCIPLE is reading and understanding the Bible, one book at a time, in depth.  That cannot be done by reading on one’s own.  Without a doubt, the friendships and “family” bonds that are created in a class have been particularly meaningful to me. ~ Jennifer Berk  In my years at Brownson it is the most spiritually attuned I have ever been.  I am more than casually interested in the Bible for the first time in my life.  Give DISCIPLE at least 3 meetings to get into it. ~ Jim Reid  DISCIPLE is “The Best Gift You Can Give Yourself” - a spiritual and personal journey shared with your church family members.  I’m glad to see so many of our church family involved with DISCIPLE. ~ Carol Haney  I have grown as a Christian and as a person as a result of DISCIPLE class! ~ Carol Lamphier  DISCIPLE has expanded my knowledge of the Bible.  Opinions are formed and reformed, expanded and compressed into a deeper faith.  I enjoyed the class and made some good friends. ~ Carol Saylor  The challenge of DISCIPLE is to fit necessary reading and study into an already busy schedule.  Benefits include fine participation opportunities with interesting classmates, teachers and good materials. ~ Dee Parks  Our teacher helped us to understand God’s Word.  The questions and discussions brought us all closer to the role of a DISCIPLE for Christ bringing together a group of people in a special bond. ~ Priscilla McLeod  We are the richer for our participation in DISCIPLE.  We truly looked forward to the class each week. ~ Ray and Evelyn Leavee  I am so thankful for the opportunity to have taken DISCIPLE classes.  I am now more confident to pray in public and to speak to people about spiritual things. ~ Ruth Prim  I had taken Old Testament and New Testament classes in college, but this was a very different, far more meaningful experience.  DISCIPLE brought challenges but also much meaning and hope. ~ Nancy Frock  In DISCIPLE class, I not only learned, I enjoyed! ~ Janet Mitchell
