the canon of scripture

June - august, 2025 @ 9:30 am

Teachers:  Pastors Nick Hathaway & Kurt Scharping


History, archaeology, and exegesis combine to give Christians confidence in the legitimacy and authority of the scriptures they know to be the Bible. In this fourteen-week class, Pastor Hathaway and Pastor Scharping will go over the ideas of inspiration and canonicity. We'll address common critiques of both the Old and New Testament canon. We will assess the apocrypha and pseudepigrapha and their legitimacy. Leveraging the findings of Roger Beckwith and Michael Kruger, we'll refute erroneous views on the origin of the canon.

the doctrine of sin

June - august, 2025 @ 9:30 am

Teacher:  Mr. Bob Brown


Got sin? Jesus said, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” This summer, consider attending an Adult Education class

on biblical teaching regarding the doctrine of sin. Lord willing, each week

will consist of a Scriptural study and discussion of topics including God’s

holiness, the origin and pervasiveness of sin, the Bible’s lists of sins, the

remedy for sin in Jesus, sin in the believer and Christian community, 

parenting “little” sinners, and the end of sin in glorification. The class

is led by Bob Brown, who brings more than 56 years’ experience in transgressions and iniquity.
