A variety of classes are offered in the Fall and in the Spring for those wishing to have an indepth opportunity to study God's word, His will for your life and effective ways to grow in your spiritual life.

Our adult education classes are open to all and any are welcome to drop in and check us out.  These classes aim to enrich the fellowship of faith, provoke questions and seek answers, and deepen the discipleship journey.

We believe that Christian Education is a fundamental part of our growth as Christians. GVM offers many opportunities including:

The Book of Revelation (Walking through the Bible)

What does God really say about the end times?  Join us in a study of the Book of Revelation.  This study follows the same approach used throughout the Walking through the Bible sequence.  As always, this is a drop-in class where all are welcome anytime.  Nevertheless, we extend a particular invitation to everyone with an interest in this intriguing but perplexing segment of scripture to join in now!

Room E-4

Young Adults’ Class

In this class adults from high school graduation through about age 35 gather to learn about Christianity and to share life experiences from a Christian perspective.  You are welcome to join us at any time!

Our current topic (March 3 through April 21):  “Pride. Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Envy. Sloth. Wrath. These are the "seven deadly sins" made popular by ancient theologians and contemporary movies. We've all dealt with these sins at one time or another—whether we realize it or not—and those of us who follow Jesus would like to stop dealing with them once and for all.  In Seven Daily Sins by Jared Wilson we consider the sometimes surprising ways these sins occur in the modern world – even in our own lives – and how Christ's perfect sacrifice frees us to kill sin through repentance and to walk joyfully in newness of life.

Room: E-2

Mormonism 101

How does Mormonism differ from the Christian faith? In this accessible, informative book, former LDS members Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson compare the main points of Mormon theology to orthodox Christianity. You will gain a better understanding of what your Mormon neighbors and friends believe about God, man, scripture, salvation, and revelation and how these beliefs differ from those of Christianity. In the quest to understand their perspective, you will be able to better understand your own beliefs and how to reach out to them with the light of the Christian gospel.

Facilitators: Mitzi and Gary Gray
