Adult Sunday School Classes
At Atonement, we believe Christians should be life-long learners. Throughout the year our Adult Education team works on providing a number of stimulating classes so that every adult can find something of interest. Our Sunday school program for adults is designed to foster spiritual growth. We study God’s word in an effort to understand who He is, what He has done, and what He expects from His followers. Our Sunday school teachers strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where deep and meaningful learning can occur. Our teaching practices are designed for active learning that leads to lasting transformation.

Encounters with Jesus--Insights for Ministry
All Adult Class, Rankin Hall -- Leadership Team includes: Josh Bascom, Wilson Bascom,
Bill Burdett, David Galletta, Gil Gotiangco, and James Key
Jesus' encounters with ordinary people can teach us so much about how to reach out to them, even to skeptics. In our study, we will discover how to dig further into a passage and find the deeper, fundamental truths Jesus was presenting. We will also explore Jesus' method for sharing with skeptics the difficult answers to questions like "Why should we believe in God?" Prepare to be amazed at our Savior as He presents His message to everyday people showing us He is the Master Teacher.

Going Deeper into Things Jesus Said
Compass Class -- Young Adults, Room 209 - Teacher: Mike Hanlon
"...you have heard it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.' But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all...Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No.'"
"But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah...and he was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath...And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them were cleansed but only Naaman the Syrian."
There are many moments of teaching like these recorded in the gospels, and it's easy to gloss over them in a narrative-driven reading. In this class, we will look closely at these passages, meditate upon them, and consider them deeply so that we may learn more about God and His purposes for us on Earth.
