Bethel Lutheran Church Sunday School

It is the desire of our Sunday School department to serve as a partner to our families in the Christian education of our children and youth.

We present the plan of salvation as put forth in the Bible. It is our goal to do this in a manner that makes the message of God's Word not just an academic exercise but something that is applicable to the lives of believers no matter what their age. We teach the Bible as God's Word. We center on the words of St. John in John 20:31 -
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

The purpose of our study is to expose the children and youth to the Means of Grace that is God's Word, and in doing so have the Holy Spirit affect their hearts and minds.

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching . . ." Acts 2:42

ADULT CLASS -The Gospel According to St. Luke

Leader: Pastor Bard
Parish Hall - View Facility Map
Study Topics:Pastor Bard’s Sunday Morning Bible class is currently studying the Gospel of Luke. Luke, a Gentile himself, writes about the Gentiles, women, and outsiders, three groups who are mostly ignored by Matthew and Mark. Luke researches the story of Jesus closely, so that those who read may be encouraged and believe. Please bring your own Bible, a pen, and your thinking cap as Luke hides many nuggets for the studious and the careful!


ADULT CLASS - Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman

Leader: Lillian Hayden
Room 401 - View Facility Map
Study Topic:Another series by popular Bible Study leader Beth Moore. If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, it's tough today. This portion of God's Word contains treas­ures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives. A donation of $10 for the class book would be appreciated.
