Discovery Class
Meets in WC-105

Teacher:  Senior Pastor Mike Ross
The Discovery Class is the membership class for Christ Covenant Church.  Pastor Ross teaches this class in which he reviews Christ Covenant's philosophy of ministry, the Reformed Faith, the Presbyterian form of government, the vows of church membership, and other topics pertinent to church membership.  This class is required for those seeking to join Christ Covenant Church.

Coram Deo (Seniors & Guests)
Meets in WC-201 (Choir Room)
Topic: David: The Making of a Man II
Teacher: Pastor Bruce Creswell
From shepherd to court musician and army commander, to being a fugitive on the run, God was shaping David's character, refining his faith, to be the next king of Israel. Our study takes us into the triumphs and tragedies of David's long reign as king over Israel. From David's experiences we see how to become people after God's own heart.  Come and study with us the life of David, "a man after God's own heart" and how God "grows" His children.  Our study resource includes: David, by Walter Chantry.

Adult Elective Class (a mix of generations)
Meets in WC-211
Topic:
The book of James
Teacher:
Elder Biff Bracy
This book study focuses on how we live as Christians in our world as we confront ethical issues, adversity and the outworking of our faith in daily living. Our teacher is a long time elder at Christ Covenant, a Board Member at RTS and a skilled teacher.  Class Note: This class will not meet in December, it will begin Jan. 1

Covenant Singles (Singles 35+)
Meets in CDS High School Media Room (Library)
Topic: Westminster Confession of Faith
Teacher: Bob Medeiros

This semester we'll be starting a study on the Westminster Confession of Faith. Within our faith tradition it is considered the single best expression of doctrine contained in the Scriptures. We would encourage those new to the Reformed tradition to join us in this fruitful study as well as anyone who needs a refresher.

Boomers
Meets in CDS High School 101/103
Topic: "Triumphant Trust in an Unfair World" A study of the Minor Prophet Habakkuk

Teacher:  Pastor Mike Miller
How do we continue to trust God in the face of an unfair and unjust world? How do the themes of revival, faith, gospel and joy equip us to triumphant in our walk with God? We will study the minor prophet Habakkuk to discover who he is, where he fits in Old Testament history, and what he says to us as God's people when we witness what seems in our understanding to be a discouraging and dark time. Join us for fellowship, refreshments and study.

Young Professionals
Meets in Wilcox 101 (New Classroom in Wilcox Bldg.)
Topic: Why are we Christ Covenant Church?
Teacher: Pastor Andrew Holbrook
The Young Professionals invites young singles & the newly married without children to join us in a re-launch of this community. As we gather for study and fellowship, in the winter we hope to answer the question: "Why are we called Christ Covenant Church?"  As we consider the mission of Christ Covenant Church (Worship God, Grow in Community, Love Others, and Serve the World), we will determine how we can best participate with the rest of the church in this mission.

Student Families Community
(Parents of middle/high school students)
Meets in CDS High School 201/203
Topic: Book of Romans
Teacher: Pastor Kris Decker
As a community we will be studying the book of Romans.  Martin Luther starts his commentary on the book of Romans by saying this: "This letter is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian's while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul. It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well."

Young Families
Meets in the Fireplace Room (Wilcox Bldg.)
Topic: Devotion and Doctrine: Key Christian Doctrines and a Study on Prayer
Teacher: Pastor Gabe Sylvia
The Young Families class will meet for study, prayer and fellowship as we consider a core curriculum class on Key Christian Doctrines and how they impact our daily living with God and each other. We will be combining the class with a devotional study on prayer. The Key Christian Doctrines text is J.I. Packer’s Growing in Christ and the prayer book is Developing a Healthy Prayer Life: 31 Meditations on Communing with God by James and Joel Beeke. All young families (with and without children!) are welcome.

18/22 Generation (18-22 year-olds)
Meets in Campus Outreach House (Corner of Fullwood Lane and Hwy 51)
Topic: Heaven

Teachers: Peter Eck & team
For the Winter Quarter we are going to study Heaven, a book by Randy Alcorn. We are going to celebrate the Christmas and New Year's season by looking at what Christ's incarnation accomplished for us, namely life with God forever. We will meet at the Campus Outreach House, starting at 9:15. Please contact Peter Eck with any questions, peck@christcovenant.org.

Senior High
Meets in the Dock (Wilcox Bldg.)
Topic: Worship
Teachers/Facilitators:  Sr. High Teaching Team
We will kick off 2012 with a study on worship. Everyone has their own idea of what worship should be. But is there a right and wrong way to approach God? How do we prepare ourselves for worship? Is Sunday a special day, or just the most convenient? If you are in High School, and want some answers, come join us in a discussion of what the Worship of God really is.

Middle School (Timothy Project)
Meets in the Harbor (Wilcox Bldg.)
Topic: Book of Romans
Teachers:  Youth Staff
Come join us for Middle School small groups! We meet at the Sunday School hour every Sunday beginning at 9 am in the Harbor. We have a large group time including music, a central talk by the youth staff, and then breakout into small groups (by grade and gender) led by High School Students. We will be studying the book of Romans, and hope to have you connected to us!
