Adult Education
Bethlehem United Methodist Church offers a variety of educational opportunities on Sunday mornings. The classes meet from 9:15 am to 10:15 am unless otherwise indicated. All are welcome. You can come anytime.
Adult Bible Class The Adult Bible Class studies lessons based on selected passages of Scripture. After we read the weekly text from the Uniform Series quarterly, our teacher presents a lesson that illustrates the biblical setting as it parallels with our culture in the present day. Cultures change; God does not. By drawing comparisons between ancient and modern times, we learn that the lessons of the Bible are always relevant. Visitors and new class members are always welcome! You will find our classroom on the west side of Wesley Hall. Lani Jones
Fellowship Class The Fellowship Class is an informal discussion group. We select a variety of topics – books of the Bible, Bible leaders, or life topics. These studies may last from 4 to 12 weeks. In our fellowship, we share God’s truths and encourage each other in our Christian journey. Come meet around the coffee pot in Fellowship Hall on Bethlehem Church’s lower level.
Searchers The Searchers Class is a lecture/discussion class. In our weekly lessons we use the Bible to find encouragement and direction for our daily lives. We are currently using Bill Fay's book Share Your Faith . Are you sharing your faith or are you guilty of the "sin of silence?" Join us to gain confidence and discover the tools to be an effective witness for Christ. You are welcome to our class anytime; we meet in Wesley Hall next to the library. Palmer Poff
The Wired Word: Contemporary Issues Class We are a class studying contemporary issues through the lens of scripture. We focus on a prominent issue in the news each week. We review the issue and then dig into a discussion and examination of the topic helped through various scripture passages. We’d love to have you join us and add your thoughts and understandings. Join us in the classroom in Bethlehem Church’s educational wing on the second floor near the nursery. Pastor Carl Rife
TLC Intergenerational Class Please join us. We meet following the 8:30 Contemporary Service. Age does not define us. It is a perfect class for families with older youth and young adults perhaps still at home. It’s great for the college student home on a break! In our very relaxed atmosphere the “New” Christian and the “Old” Christian are able to share and grow spiritually. Our commonality is 1: We enjoy worshipping at Trinity, 2: We desire to have Christian fellowship and 3.: We want to learn more about living out our faith each and every day. Everyone is welcome. The group is very flexible and everyone’s opinion is appreciated. We learn a lot from each other. We meet at the front of the TLC sanctuary immediately following the service. Bring your Bible and prepare to be blessed! Darlene Kuhn

The selections available are very current and include a variety of Christian novels which are widely used by our reading congregation. There is a resource section with Bible commentaries, atlases, and Bible dictionaries for the use of all classes (located on the lower level in Fellowship Hall). Both the children and adult areas attract many to use this source of growth and blessing. Visit soon and become acquainted with one of Bethlehem’s jewels.
