Peace United Church of Christ
Christian Education

Peace Church provides Bible study experiences that are biblically sound, personally relevant and intensely practical. Adult Sunday School is dedicated to this purpose.

It is our privilege to study the Word of God so that we can better understand God and how God would have us live our lives. Peace offers a number of classes for adult Sunday School. We invite you to find a class that fits your search and join us on the journey.

The Discovery Class
dis•cov er v. To notice or learn, especially by making an effort.

Each Sunday this class comes together and makes a focused effort to learn something new about the Bible or to notice God’s work in this world. This class is composed primarily of young and median aged adults, both married and single. The class meets for coffee and homemade treats at 9:30 a.m. and transitions into the lesson by 9:45 a.m.
Location: Fellowship Hall, Basement

The Ambassador Class

These ambassadors of goodwill range from median adults to seniors both working and retired. They enjoy their time together both in and out of the Sunday School hour. Their regular teachers are Darryl Andrews, Lynn Hamilton and Jim Shoffner. They use The Present Word as their study curriculum.
Location: Second floor, Room 206

The Friendly Class

A visitor to this class of older adults would indeed find a community that provides a warm and comforting welcome. Their teachers share leadership in a rotating schedule. They use the UCC Uniform Series as their stating place for Bible study. Their class motto is from Isaiah: “They will still bring forth fruit.”
