Adult Sunday School
Music to God's Ears: Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs
Taught by Madison Taylor & team
Location: Outback Room
*Geared toward Young Adults, but anyone is welcome!*
Music is evidence of God’s abundant goodness to us. In this class, we will explore what the Bible says about singing and how that shapes the role of music inside and outside of the church, and meditate on some of the songs we sing at POPC. And we may even sing a little...
Church History — Part 1: Early Church History
Taught by John Kwasny
Location: Cafeteria
Join us as we begin our travels through HIS-Story, the continuing story of the Church in the world, Most of us are pretty unfamiliar with much of church history, but especially early church history. The study of church history is important to grow our faith and to learn not to repeat the sin patterns of our predecessors, It also helps us have a bigger view of God and His Kingdom, giving Him the glory for what He has done through His people!
Psalms by Authors
Taught by Ken Haynes
Location: Room 127
The Psalms are often studied by genre, but in this class we will do a survey of Psalms by authors, with at least 7 different authors specified. We will look at styles and content that might be unique to each author, always looking for the over-arching theme of calling upon Yahweh and looking forward to Jesus Christ the Messiah.
Children's Bible Stories for Adults Part 2
Taught by Newell Simrall
Location: Room 238
Did David kill Goliath with the stone? How did Jesus rise after 3 days if He died on Friday and rose on Sunday? These are a couple topics we discussed last summer in this class. This summer we continue to look at Children’s Bible Stories that we have known for decades and will dive deeper to learn applications for our lives as adults that we may not have learned when we learned these as children. Come learn new things about Joshua and the Battle Jericho, Jonah and the Fish (was it a whale?), Daniel in the Lions’ Den and other familiar stories from God’s Word to examine with fresh eyes. *****Attendance to Part 1 of this class is not required ****
The purpose of our adult Sunday School curriculum at Pear Orchard is to provide Christ centered, Biblically based, and theologically informed instruction and discussion toward the goal of the growth of each member of the Body in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. All classes are elective and age-integrated, so adults can choose what content they would like to study for that semester. Our current system breaks down the educational year into three semesters:

Winter (November-January): Winter Wildcard

Summer (May-July): Theology/Apologetics/Church History/Christian Living Studies
