Sunday School

FALL 2023 QUARTER

Sunday School for ages 2 through adults at 9:30 a.m. before the Worship Service.  Please join us!

CHILDREN

2 - 3 Year Olds (Nursery Class):  God's Story Bible  (Great Commission)

Children in the nursery during the Sunday School hour will have a short Bible lesson and some play time. We will be using the God's Story Bible Coloring Book from Great Commission Publications. Each lesson includes a Bible verse or passage that emphasizes Bible truths through the reading of God's word, fun activities, catechism questions, and a coloring sheet. 

The Sunday School curriculum for our K-5th grade classes is “Investigating God’s Word” from One Story Ministries. It is a 7-year, comprehensive, Christ-centered curriculum covering Genesis to Revelation in a systematic way. God’s Word is presented chronologically, demonstrating how all the stories and teaching of Scripture connect to one another historically.  Each lesson has a short introduction, review of previous learning, a vocabulary word of the week, historical context of the scripture covered that day, and then reading and investigation of the Bible passage. Each week, children receive a bookmark with that week's memory verse.

K - 1st Grade:     We currently do not have a need for a class for this age group.  Please see Melissa Hagan if you have a child in this age range and would like for them to attend Sunday School.

2nd - 3rd Grade:  1 Samuel 16-31   (One Story Ministries)

4th - 5th Grade:  2 Kings 13-21; 2 Chronicles 25-33; Hosea, Amos, and Micah
                           (One Story Ministries)

YOUTH 

High School  Teens attend either the adult classes or the youth Catechism class below.

Middle School (Gr. 6-8)         

The Youth Sunday School class will resume studying the Westminster Shorter Catechism, beginning with Q&A 42. A major focus of this section is the moral law and the Ten Commandments. The resource guide is G.I. Williamson’s The Westminster Shorter Catechism: For Study Classes. Parents are encouraged to discuss the weekly catechism assignment in advance of each session. Also, provided pocket guides will supplement class discussion, including proof texts and summary paragraphs for each question/answer. 

ADULT CLASSES

CtR Foundations  

The CtR Foundations class gives an overview of who Christ the Redeemer is as a church and why we do what we do―our DNA. We will dive deep into a wide range of topics, including our worship liturgy, the variety of ministries offered, key distinctives of our denomination, and the theological truths that undergird it all. You are highly encouraged to attend if you are new to Christ the Redeemer, new to the Reformed faith, or interested in exploring membership now or in the future. If you’ve been at CtR awhile but simply would like a refresher or want to help engage in discussion, please join us.   

The Book of Philippians   

The book of Philippians challenges Christians to remember their true identity as citizens of God’s kingdom, especially when faced with difficult circumstances. We will be using the “Philippians―A 12-Week Study” guide from J.I. Packer’s Knowing the Bible series to: (1) engage the text at a deeper level; (2) see the gospel of grace throughout Philippians; (3) connect passages to the Bible’s overarching redemption story; and (4) identify how historic orthodox doctrines are reinforced throughout Scripture. This study will help us grasp Paul’s gospel-centered exhortation to endurance, and encourage us to joyfully imitate Christ in the midst of hardship.
