BREAKTHROUGH LIVING
BRUCE COOK/PAT MACMILLAN - ROOM 201/202/203
Life lessons from the Kings—a study of the Kings of Judah will offer biblical insight into the challenges we face everyday: discerning good advice from bad; recognizing personal blind spots; avoiding the trap of “half-heartedness;” discerning God’s will and avoiding the pride trap. Learn about these and other life lessons that will help us become all God wants us to be.

FIRST LOOK

This is a four-week class designed to orient newcomers to the life and ministry of The Church of The Apostles.

CROSSROADS
RANDY JACKSON - ROOM 229 C
We are a community of families, typically with young children, seeking to grow in spiritual maturity. Join us and enjoy fellowship, small group interaction, and biblical teaching as we strengthen our walk with Christ through the study of God’s Word.

MATURITY AND MISSION
JAMES SAXON - ROOM 237 A/B/C/D
This class is designed to guide believers into a lifestyle of spiritual maturity and mission. This community class will have the dual focus of building believers in their faith and equipping them to minister in their daily walks of life. The class is ideal for new believers and/or those who are new to the church who desire to experience spiritual maturity that is alive with mission.

IMPACT
REG AND LORI GRIFFIN - ROOM 243
As Christians, God is calling each of us into full-time ministry. Even though we may provide for our economic support through jobs and careers, He still places us in the "mission fields" of the workplace, college campuses, and the communities where we live and influence others. This call is not limited by age or experience. Despite his youth and limited experience, Timothy was encouraged by the Apostle Paul to become one of his strongest and most trustworthy fellow laborers. Please join us as we take a closer look at 1 and 2 Timothy and see how God calls all of us and places us exactly where we need to be for His purposes.

JEREMIAH AND EZEKIEL: PROPHETS TO A DECAYING CULTURE
LEE HOLSTON - ROOM 244
We will look at the conditions of a people being judged by God—though they don't realize it fully—by comparing two prophets of the Babylonian exile. One is in Jerusalem for 40 years leading up to its fall to Nebuchadnezzar, and the other is in the first wave of exiles taken to Babylon. What kinds of messages does God send to a people in judgment? And what hope is there for restoration and personal safety? It is no accident that among some of the strongest, darkest words of disappointment and judgment to God's people we find some of the most remarkably vital words and pictures of the Messiah's future work—in the history of Israel, and in our own lives.

STS PARENTS PRAYER GROUP
JOE AND LYDIA LUDWIKOWSKI - ROOM 246
The STS Parents Class strives to be a primary source of support for parents of young people in the fifth through twelfth grades.While we do study the Word each Sunday, our first goal is prayer.We pray each Sunday for STS, our children, and one another. Our Bible study centers on topics relevant to parenting in today's culture, which is increasingly hostile to the gospel. This class is highly recommended for the parents of students who are entering STS for the first time.

AMERICA’S CHRISTIAN HERITAGE
DAL SUMRELL – ROOM 248
The purpose of this class is to give us a strong foundation by having a clear understanding of America’s Christian heritage. As a result, our goal is to increase our faith so that we can trust God to bring healing and restoration to our nation by securing the blessings of liberty. This class is both a Bible study looking at God’s way of blessing nations and viewing the history of the United States in light of God’s Word. We will discover what our founders did right as they followed the principles they saw in Scripture.

Level 500 Classrooms

THE BOOK OF ROMANS
MONTE JOHNSON – ROOM 516
We will be studying the Book of Romans verse-by-verse. Our goal each week will be to identify the principles of leadership and prayer that are revealed and lived out by and through Paul’s life. We will discuss how we can apply the principles we have identified in our day-to-day lives.

Level 600 Classrooms

PERSONAL PEACEMAKING
BRYAN AND ROSE ALISON - ROOM 607/610
One of the ways God equips and matures believers is through relationships. In His Word, He has provided us with key instruction on maintaining healthy relationships, both with believers and unbelievers, with family, friends, co-workers, and those in authority. Personal Peacemaking applies the truths of God’s Word to teach us how to maintain healthy relationships and handle conflicts in a way that honors God.

ANSWERING GOD’S CALL
BOBBY MITCHELL SR. – ROOM 614
Does God still call people today? That’s a penetrating question, but the question we really need to ask is this: “Is God calling me today in the 21st century?” To find out, come join us as we study various Biblical characters and how God calls each person uniquely. We will look at the five elements of a call and learn how they apply to us. Hopefully, we will help you determine God’s call on your life.

DOCTRINAL FOUNDATIONS
STAN CARDER – ROOM 615
This course is a summary overview of Christian doctrine, and is formatted to serve as a short course in systematic theology. This class is a must for all leaders who open the Word of God in any setting, whether in a Sunday morning class or small group Bible study, whether teaching children, youth, or adults. This is an essential course designed to equip leaders with a thorough understanding of the doctrines that are foundational to the whole counsel of God.

BUILDERS: MINOR PROPHETS
AL ELMORE - ROOM 616
This adult Bible fellowship is a community of believers growing together in faith while encouraging and supporting each other. Members participate in fellowship and outreach activities. This winter the group will encounter the living Word through a study of the Minor Prophets.

DISCIPLES: LIVING IN INCREASINGLY SECULAR TIMES
JIM VILLWOCK – ROOM 617
Our society is changing. Our nation is looking more like the Corinth of the Apostle Paul’s day: Corinthians worshiped many gods, carried an intellectual arrogance, and lived in pervasive sensuality. If our society is moving in similar direction, then how can we respond? How do we live during increasingly secular times? To find out, we will begin by looking at Paul’s first letter to the Corinthian church and see how the Bible strategically applies to our lives on a daily basis.

YOUNG FAMILIES COMMUNITY CLASS
DAVID WATSON - ROOM 620–623
Our class is dedicated to community, beginning with a continental breakfast at 8:45 and concluding with small group discussion. The class explores the deep truths of Scripture for the sake of making us better spouses and parents because we are becoming more passionate followers of Christ. Our purpose is life-change in the context of the Body of Christ.

DIGGING DEEPER
JIM REIMAN - THE COMMONS (MONDAY NIGHTS)
Digging Deeper is a community Bible study for adults of all ages—single or married. This in-depth study is for people who are looking for practical ways to apply scriptural truth to their lives.
