We offer Adult Christian Education (Sunday school for grown-ups) on the third floor of the church every Sunday before our worship service. The goal of this ministry is to help believers at all stages of their walk with Christ become more deeply rooted in God\u2019s Word. Classes range in size from under 10 people to 35+ and are offered on a quarterly basis, with some continuing for several terms. You may work through a specific book of the Bible, or your teacher may focus on selected topics of importance to the life of faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epistle to the Ephesians<\/strong>
Teachers<\/strong>:\u00a0Steven Dong, Simeon Wong, David Hwang<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul\u2019s letter to the Ephesians is a powerful Epistle that has moved Christians to wonder and worship for almost 2,000 years. It was John Calvin\u2019s favorite epistle. Another commentator has called it \u2018the Queen of the Epistles\u2019. In this letter, the apostle Paul focuses our attention on what God done through the work of Jesus Christ and continues to do through His Spirit today, in order to build His new society \u2013 the Church. In it, Paul seeks to help us understand the dimensions of God\u2019s eternal purposes in Christ; the rich blessings He has for His people and the high goals He has for the Church; and how we ought therefore to live together in community with one another and in the world, as the new society that God has created through Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us as we study the letter to the Ephesians together.

The Christian and Technology: Living Faithfully in the Digital Age
Teacher<\/strong>: Stephen Tom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the current rate of technological growth, how do we live proactively as faithful Christians in an environment that is rapidly changing? What do we need to do? What is best for us and for those under our care? How do we distinguish right from wrong (or at least, better from worse)? In this class, we will explore and discuss the implications of this digital world that we find ourselves in. To ground our conversation properly, we examine what the Bible has to say, along with reviewing evidence and the latest research. (Questions will be more than welcome!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics are to include:
\u2022 The good, the bad and the ugly of technology
\u2022 The biblical perspective on technology
\u2022 The theological and practical elements of technology
\u2022 The place of spirituality in the digital age
\u2022 The impact of the \u201crecent\u201d progression of Technology (from personal computers to AI)
\u2022 The implications on childhood and the raising of children
\u2022 Impact on Literacy and Education
\u2022 The practice of critical thinking
\u2022 Impact on Employment
\u2022 Family life, friendships and relationships
\u2022 Surviving and thriving in the Age of AI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homework will be optional, but strongly encouraged (along with personal study, research and reflection) to facilitate optimally informed participation, discussion and engagement with the topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
