Ministry Skills: Equipping God's people for ministry, including teaching, counseling, evangelizing, leading small groups, and exercising other spiritual gifts. "Sharing Your Faith" Photo Coming Soon! Teachers:  Steve Lanier & David Jolly Classroom:  Room 220 & 221 Many Christians do not witness because they are intimidated and ill-equipped.  At Redeemer, it is out goal to equip all our church members so they are prepared and confident in their ability to share their faith with others in their daily lives.   "Evangelism Explosion" combines classroom instruction (during Sunday School) with "On the Job Training" (during the 11:00 worship service).  Trainees are teamed with a trainer who models witnessing to others in our neighborhood.  The role of the trainees is gradually increased as they become more proficient.

PRACTICAL LIVING: Practicing Godly living in everyday life, including areas such as marriage, finances, parenting, and the workplace. "Maintaining Unity in the Faith" Teachers:  Dr. Jim Hurley Classroom:  Room 218 This hands-on class will focus on learning about and learning to implement ten basic biblical habits for handling differences and building bonds in marriage.   Marriage research has found that even in the secular world, when these habits are in place, a marriage has a 91% chance of being lasting and satisfying.   Since class size will be limited to allow for in-class discussion and practice of the habits, participants should plan to attend faithfully.   "Gaurd Us, Guide Us" Teachers:  Raymond Hall & Lloyd Robertson Classroom:  Room 103 Our focus this fall will have more to do with knowing the will of God as a disposition, having hopefully established a good foundation as to the will of God in sovereignty and revelation -- e.g., living as one who accepts as a way of life God's controlling authority and provisions in our daily lives (pain and pleasure), we strive to remain faithful.   The materials used for this class include: The Bible; Guard Us, Guide Us (J. I. Packer, Carolyn Nystrom); Don't Waste Your Life (John Piper); How People Change (Timothy S. Lane, Paul David Tripp).

Theology: Knowing and applying the doctrinal truths of Scripture. "Developing the Christian Mind in the 21st Century" Photo Coming Soon! Teacher:  Dr. Ron Potter Classroom:  Room 105 This course is intended to help believers understand the post-Christian mind that surrounds us in today's culture and to equip believers to think "Christianly" within every area of contemporary life.   The biblical and theological foundations of the mind will be contrasted with 1) the modern mind, which is secular and rational;  and 2) the postmodern mind, which is spiritual and relativistic.

Bible: Knowing and applying God's Word "Romans" Teacher:  Dr. Wynn Kenyon Classroom:  Room 106 Among other topics, we will see what Paul says about: The people who have never hear the Gospel; The nature of sin; The Jews who reject the Gospel; How one is declared right with God; The promise to Abraham; The depravity of man; God restoring believers in holiness; The end of salvation and how this relates to Genesis 1:28; The relationship of the nation of Israel to the Church; Elections; Christian unity;  and The purpose of the Church. We will pay particular attention to what Paul's writings mean for us as a church today.
