Sunday School Opportunities...
...It's For Life!
Sundays at 9:40 a.m.
Welcome to Benton United Methodist Sunday School Department! We believe the felllowship in these small groups not only nurtures individual spiritual lives, but also forms a stronger connection in the Body of Christ, which is the Church. Each teacher describes how his/her class can bolster your relationship with Jesus Christ and others. Everyone is encouraged to participate in a class.
Sunday School is a place where people and churches can be transformed:
- growing leaders for the church's mission
- increasing people's sense of belonging and commitment to stewardship
- providing a place for new people to make friends and learn to grow as disciples
- deepening people's understanding of God's activity in all of life
Adult Classes
Eva Smith - Teacher: Betty Russell
This class is for women of any age who want to be involved in Bible study and mission. A strong bond of fellowship and nurturing is felt in this class. Our ongoing mission projects include The McDade House and The Methodist Children’s Home in Ruston. We share our concerns, we pray, and we study.
Grumpy Old Men - Teacher: Sen. Robert Adley
This class seeks to study and understand the basic scripture of the Old and New Testaments. Together these basic subjects are applied to today’s problems in the world. All mature men are welcome.
Fellowship - Teacher: Debbie Filler
The Fellowship Class uses a variety of materials in this class in order to reach all interests. We engage in discussions that have to do with present situations that affect our lives. Couples and singles are welcome in this class.
Pairs and Spares - Teacher: Catherine Long
This class is a group of 40-somethings and beyond. The class focuses on Bible study, but always with an eye toward making the Scripture relevant to our daily lives. We are an eclectic bunch defined exactly by our name. Couples and singles are welcome. We had originally discussed calling ourselves “Mixed Nuts,” but that name was a bit too true for our comfort. So, we are the “Pairs and Spares.”
The Breakfast Club - Teacher: Andy and Lillian Holley
This is a unique and fun loving group of Christians who come together on Sunday to worship Christ through a contemporary study of the Bible and how it relates to our everyday life and struggles. We rely on each other through a network of prayer and friendship. We take turns bringing breakfast and have many social activities throughout the year.
Christ's Melting Pot - Teacher: Stacy Smith
Find your way in this welcoming community of variety. Our backgrounds range from north to south, Baptist to Catholic, married to single, kids to no kids, and everything in-between. Join us as we study and discuss God’s word to find our way in this crazy world.
