Sunday School Classes

The Saints Alive Class consists of a good time of fellowship over coffee and snacks, a time of updating prayer needs, and a time of Bible Study, either topical or from a particular book of the Bible.  A hallmark of the class is making everyone feel welcome from the moment they enter the classroom.  We are primarily aged 60+, but not entirely, so all are invited, and we have several each week who join the class by Zoom. We are Bible-based, emphasize doctrine, personal application, and ministry to others. We are located down the Missions Hallway, just past the Welcome Center. 

The Well is a vibrant Sunday school class designed for those in their mid-to-late 20s to late 30s, embracing singles, professionals, young families, and anyone seeking a community of believers. Just like the biblical well, we aim to be a source of life, nourishment, and friendship, dedicated to studying God’s Word and living authentically and wisely together in the beauty of holiness. 

Discussion-based. Community-focused. Christ-centered. The Gathering focuses on these three attributes as we live deeply with one another. We are a group of mostly married couples in our 30’s and 40’s, in the throes of raising children and building careers. On Sunday mornings, you can find us in rmB226, where we engage in enthusiastic conversation with one another before sitting down for teaching. We usually choose topical studies that relate directly to the season of life we find ourselves in, which are led by members of our class. Following a short teaching, we break up into small groups for discussion (our favorite part).  Other than meeting on Sunday mornings, we also make it a priority to be together outside of class every month. Some activities we have found fruitful in the past include: Community Dinners, Men’s Pickleball, Galentines, group playdates, family cookouts, and other adults-only get-togethers (like an evening at TopGolf or a wiffleball game). If you are looking for a group of men and women who are trying to authentically live for Christ through the hectic and/or mundane days of this season of life, then this is the class for you!

The International Class welcomes friends from other countries in the spirit of Christian fellowship as we share the good news of the Bible story, with the understanding that many who visit our class for the first time have not heard about Jesus, the love of God, and the purpose of life. In addition to those who attend our weekly Sunday morning class in person, interactive online attendance is available through Zoom invitation link. Our dedicated teaching team members, with a broad range of personal international experience, come from various professional backgrounds that include business, engineering & sciences, missionary service, and teaching. In order to provide additional opportunities for developing friendships and enjoying adventurous experiences the class also regularly schedules group activities such as hiking, biking, camping, and potluck dinner parties, as well as group or personal in-home meals and visits.

Doulos strongly values brothers and sisters in Christ of all ages and stages sharing life together. Our format is to share and pray for each other first, then have an interactive lesson from the scriptures; we sit in concentric circles to facilitate discussion. We have a high mission and international involvement, share a monthly lunch, and enjoy an annual retreat together.

New Creations is made up of a mix of couples and singles ranging from 50s to 90s. Lessons are taught in a relaxed fashion where class questions and discussion are encouraged. We are currently studying 2 Peter, and a study of Jude is to follow. Monthly fellowship and service opportunities help to generate a good sense of family among classmates. 

Homebuilders seeks to provide a multi-generational environment for prayer, studying God’s word, fellowship, and sharing one another’s needs and burdens in an atmosphere of thanksgiving and joy. We begin with prayer then study books of the Bible or topics. We support one another through life’s challenges and celebrate God’s blessings and answers to prayer. We also enjoy fellowship through seasonal social gatherings.

Looking for a Sunday School class where you can connect with others in a similar life stage? Join our class designed for midlife singles (ages 35-55), whether you’re single by choice, circumstance, or never-married. Together, we will seek to grow in faith, build meaningful friendships, serve the world, and deepen our relationship with God in a welcoming, supportive environment. Come for the community, stay for the connection! 

We named our class “Speak Out” when we were formed as an encouragement to each of us to tell others what the Lord has done for us. Our studies encourage discussion. We are strongly committed to being care givers to each other.

Adults with special needs gather each week for an interactive Bible lesson that includes Scripture, music, prayer, activity, and discussion. Caregivers are also welcome. Please register for this class.

Young Adults is a community for men and women who are in their twenties but out of college. These years are exciting but full of transitions and challenging opportunities. Come make friends and be encouraged in your faith. We are here to help you navigate what it looks like to follow Jesus during this formative time. This will happen through teaching, discussion, and (mostly) donuts. We also offer weekly community groups, events, meals, and monthly worship nights. Text “adulting” to 865-205-6362 or follow us on the gram @cspc_youngadults.

In this Sunday morning Bible study, we will watch a 5-8 minute video produced by the BibleProject, followed by reading related Bible passages and a guided discussion.  The topics will range from theological concepts to the Biblical definitions of joy and justice, to the character of God, and more. The BibleProject is a non-profit organization helping people experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. Our class will not meet on the second Sunday of each month so that participants can serve the church by volunteering in the Children’s Ministry.

As a group of believers in our 60’s, the cornerstones of the Seekers class are Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and encouragement.  Our desire is to honor God by “seeking” Him in our discipleship of one another, service in our church, and our involvement in local and global ministries.

Class activities include scripture-based Sunday school teaching, ladies’ monthly dinners, seasonal fellowships such as spring and fall picnics, small group dinners (3×3’s), and Christmas parties.

We also communicate through weekly email updates, an optional Facebook group, and Zoom (as necessary).

If you are “seeking” a place to grow and serve His kingdom, then we would love for you to join us. All ages are welcome.
