Class Details

Growing Deeper Together: The Life of David

Teachers: Blair Smith and Eric Russ
Location: Community Life Center rooms 1 & 2

This class has a unique format: The first half of class will be fellowship and discussion around eight-person tables led by hosts. Then, the second half of class will feature a lecture applying the themes of the content, which for this semester is the Life of David. David is by many accounts the most interesting man in the Old Testament. He was a warrior, a poet, a leader, and a king. He sinned greatly, but he also knew the greater grace of his covenant God. We will study his life from 1 & 2 Samuel while also pulling from Chronicles and the Psalms.

Sexuality & Discipleship

Teacher: Derek Wells
Location: Community Life Center rooms 3 & 4

The topic of sexuality continues to be one of the most pressing and perplexing issues in our day and age. How do we address issues of sexual identity, attraction, and desire as image bearers of God and ultimately as those who have been redeemed by Christ? This interactive class will present a biblical understanding of sexuality and explore ways to engage others who are dealing with these issues. Whether you are a parent seeking to navigate these discussions with your teen or simply wanting to be better equipped to engage others in grace and truth, this class is for you.

Introduction to Reformed Theology: The Canons of Dort

Teachers: Kevin DeYoung and Tom Groelsema
Location: Community Life Center room 5

Many Reformed Christians have heard of the Five Points of Calvinism (often explained with the acronym TULIP), but few Christians know much of the history behind the formulation of these points at the Synod of Dort (1618-1619). This class will explore the history, theology, and continuing relevance of the Canons of Dort. We will learn that there is much more to say about Reformed theology than can be captured in a simple acronym and much we can learn about our faith by studying this crucial document and examining this watershed moment in church history.

Pilgrim’s Progress, Our Neglected Treasure

Teacher: Russ Eppley
Location: Community Life Center room 6

For about 300 years after its publication, The Pilgrim’s Progress, was the most popular and most acclaimed of all Christian books except for the Bible itself. John Bunyan’s title for his allegorical novel, “The Pilgrim’s Progress from this World to that which is To Come…” includes the phrase “His Dangerous Journey and Safe Arrival”; this story is a road trip adventure, full of mortal dangers and unforgettable characters. This aspect has more recently led many to consider The Pilgrim’s Progress as a child’s adventure story, so most of us haven’t read it. As an allegory, however, Bunyan’s story conveys a strong biblical emphasis, deep spiritual insights, and memorable instruction in the gospel and Christian living. This book was not written for children. Bunyan’s 17th century language has also discouraged many from reading The Pilgrim’s Progress. We will read part 1 in a modern English version which preserves Bunyan’s substance and style. Join us for reading and conversation as we explore this wonderful, timeless classic.

Twenty-First Century Insights Into Global Missions: Countering the Myths and Stereotypes

(Senior Adult Class)
Teacher: Paul Engle
Location: Worship Center rooms 201 & 211

The class will begin with a fresh look at some of the myths and stereotypes that surround “missions.” The purpose of the class is to provide an updated view of world missions, showing the biblical rational, the story of missions history, a view of selected missionary heroes, and a summary of trends and sticky issues in global missions. The aim is not only to inform but also to challenge our thinking and motivate our prayerful interest and individual involvement. The class will include the use of hundreds of slides plus weekly handouts.

New Member Class

Teachers: Kevin DeYoung and Tom Groelsema
Location: High School Commons

The New Member Class is an opportunity to learn more about the ministries, people, staff, doctrine, and vision of Christ Covenant. The class is open to anyone but is especially for those who are new to Christ Covenant or are considering membership at the church. Topics include Presbyterian theology, the importance of church membership, philosophy of worship, the role of elders and deacons, and how to get plugged into the church. This class is required for those 9th grade and older who would like to become members of Christ Covenant Church. Those participating will have the opportunity to develop relationships with other class participants and current members. To sign up, email Michelle Gustavson at mgustavson@christcovenant.org.

We ask that everyone interested in attending the New Member Class to register. Registration is open for this class. Click here to register.

The Biggest Story

Teachers: Ginny Joyce, Aaron Mayes, Amy Van Dusen & Tiphany Speck
Location: Worship Center Room 105

The King’s Community is a class designed for those with special learning needs or disabilities, but open to any who want to get to know and learn together with this wonderful community in our church. In addition to singing, serving and sharing concerns and celebrations in prayer with one another, team teachers use an engaging curriculum with an interactive approach to facilitate discipleship and community connection. This semester we will be working through stories from The Biggest Story Bible Storybook by our pastor, Kevin DeYoung, and learning to see the biggest story that runs through them all and points us over and over again to Jesus.

Youth Sunday School (Middle & High School)

Teachers: CCYM Staff
Location: Meets in the Youth Center (Lower Community Life Center)

This semester, the youth ministry will be “testing the spirits” (1 John 4:1) by using Ligonier Ministries’ book A Field Guide on False Teaching, to examine the major differences and distinctions between biblical Christianity and false teachings. We will evaluate various major global religions, cults, and modern distortions of Scriptural teaching, grow in our ability to discern truth from error in our day to day lives, and learn how to lovingly share the true gospel with non-believers that we engage with in the world around us. Join us each week for a time of fellowship, teaching, discussion, and prayer.

Children's Sunday School and Sunday Morning Information

Various Locations

Christ Covenant Children’s Ministry uniquely comes alongside parents and caregivers to assist them as the primary disciple makers of their children. We desire to partner with all families in developing children to be lifelong worshippers of the living God. While corporate worship is the primary focus of our Sunday, Sunday School is the time set aside for children of all ages to gather together and grow in their knowledge and love for God with teaching and engaging activities designed just for them! We hope all families will make their children’s Sunday School attendance a priority so that you don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to grow in the Lord together!
