Sunday School Classes

Childcare is available for all classes.

Biblical Studies

The Biblical Studies class deals with historical critical scholarship related to the Bible and is of particular interest to Christians who want to understand the Bible more thoroughly in terms of its long history. No prior Biblical knowledge is necessary, simply a curiosity for historical details related to the Bible and its Christian origins. The class is led by Acton Ostling, retired Professor of Music at the University of Louisville, and it meets in Room 252, adjacent to the church parlor.

Pathways

Members of the Pathways Class are united in their pursuit of knowledge of Biblical, historical and social issues, and all other facets that lead to a balanced Christian life. The class is also a community that has a yearly seminar, a Derby party, and a Christmas get-together along with other social events. The class meets in Fellowship Hall A.

Raising Our Faith

This year the class will be exploring a variety of topics, including forgiveness, prayer, the resurrection, and some well loved parables. The class is led by retired Rev. Dr. Tom Sweets and meets in Fellowship Hall B.

Reading The Bible

The Reading The Bible class doesn’t require knowledge of Greek or Hebrew. But understanding what a Biblical phrase or verse means in today’s language calls for knowledge of the historical setting and what it meant when it was written in another language, with concern for its theological meaning today. The class is led by Dr. Marty Soards, Professor of New Testament Studies at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, and the class meets in the Chapel.

Young Adult Class

This newly formed class will initially meet on the second and fourth Sundays of the month throughout the year and will focus on the Bible and how it relates to life, relationships, and social & historical issues of our time. The class is led by Ronnie Seale and meets in room 251.

Men’s Weekday Bible Study

The John Rodman Men’s Bible Study class meets for one hour each Friday, at 7 a.m., for fellowship, prayer, and study of a Bible passage. The group focuses on the meaning of each weekly passage and related commentaries, and how they relate to their personal lives. Study topics are announced in advance so that attendees can prepare themselves for the discussion. The Rev. Dr. Marty Soards leads the class, which currently meets via Zoom. Contact the church office for the Zoom link.

Young Adult Ministry

The young adult ministry is for those in transition. Many participants are in their 20s or early 30s and are in flux between school, entering the workforce, climbing the career ladder and everything in between. It is for young adults who are veterans of Louisville as well as those who are new to the area and are trying to find a community and group to connect with. Contact the church office for more information.
