Redeemer Presbyterian Church School of Discipleship
Spring 2010, beginning January 31st
God has promised that He will “instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” Under His ever watchful eye and with great joy we will resume our School of Discipleship on Sunday January 31st. We look forward to seeing all participate in the children’s and adult classes this semester as we discover more about the God we serve and learn how best to serve Him and one another. The class description, times, and location are listed below. We would anticipate that adults with children would attend a class at the same time their children attend, allowing families to worship together.

Adult 4 – Calvin Hall Room E207 - Church Life 101
Rev. Jack Smith
Church Life 101 or Doing the Hard Work of Getting Along - In Eph 3 Paul says that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known. So how is it that we, the church, who are actually part of the problem, can be the vessel through which the wisdom of God will be made known? The class will discuss the concrete physical things and structures that God has provided to accomplish this very spiritual and divine purpose.
Adult 5 – Calvin Hall Room E204 - Growing in Christ
Joel Pafford
How do we grow in Christ? Do we contribute to our growth in holiness or is it all of grace, or is it both? What are the things we can do to nurture our own, and our family’s love for and growth in Christ. Joel Pafford will address these questions, and more in this class on Growing in Christ.

Chaz & Paula McLain
The story of Israel is one of blessing and fellowship, followed by disobedience, exile, and captivity and finally restoration as God calls a people for himself, fulfilling Israel’s calling in the true Israel, His own Son.
8th & 9th Grade – Calvin Hall Room E211 - World Views
Greg Ward
What is a “worldview”? Do you have one? Is there a Biblical worldview? We'll spend time in this class understanding how different people view the world in which we live, how the Bible tells us we should understand the world, and how we as the Church should engage the world around us with the Gospel.
10th & 11th Grade – Calvin Hall Room E212 - Choosing My Religion
Josh Bailey
Choosing My Religion is a series of short, simple lectures by R.C. Sproul addressing the issues of ultimate truth as it relates to who God is and what our obligations to Him are. The series gives pointed questions with class time to explore the answers that God gives us in his Word as we learn to take ownership of what we say we believe.

Rev. Danny Shuffield
All About Redeemer is an overview of the history, theology, and life of the church and particularly, Redeemer Presbyterian Church. The class covers the church’s mission, duties, and connection to the historic church. Covering the theology that makes us a confessional, liturgical and Reformed & Presbyterian church, Rev. Shuffield will discuss the symbols, history, and biblical principles that direct Redeemer’s thought, life, and worship.
Adult Class 2 – Calvin Hall Room E206 - Truths that Transform
Bob Philips
The Scriptures exhort believers to “be no longer children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine' but to 'grow up into Him in all things” (Eph. 4:14-15), “being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.' (Col. 1:10). Do you hunger for a deeper walk with God, a deeper knowledge of your loving Father, revealed in the grand truths of His Word? Whether you are a young or seasoned Christian, this doctrinal survey course is designed to inflame your heart for Christ by examining subjects such as inspiration/inerrancy, the attributes of God, Christ and His work, the Holy Spirit, the Church, and even eschatology. Come join us.
Adult Class 3 – Calvin Hall Room E204 - From Eden to New Jerusalem
Weston Hicks
How we read and understand the Scriptures, and its claim on our lives, is foundational to faithful Christian thinking and living. This class introduces an approach to reading ‘Our Story” that emphasizes the unity and diversity of the great biblical themes of God’s overarching design in redemptive history.
