Adult Bible School

Fairmount has an array of Sunday morning Bible School classes for you to explore and help you make meaningful connections.

We encourage you to visit as many classes as you desire to explore each one’s style, make-up of adults, and the way it conducts its time of study, fellowship, and prayer.

9:00am Classes

Christian Homemakers

Allen Melton
9:00 am in the Music Suite
Topic: The Book of Acts

Show Description

The Christian Homemakers Class studies the Bible one book at a time. This gives us a more rounded description on the meanings of scripture than a pick and choose, one scripture at a time method. We approach each book historically, scripturally, and spiritually, going through each verse and chapter to gather the whole meaning of God’s Word. Our class hosts the annual Hanging of the Greens Christmas celebration, serves the less fortunate through CARITAS, and helps our Impact Team raise funds from the sale of our legendary strawberry shortcakes at the Spring Fair. We look forward to having you visit our class and hope you’ll consider being part of our growing group of committed followers of Christ.

Friends in Christ

Ken Powell
9:00 am in the Activity Center
Topic: The Book of John

Show Description

The Friends Class has a diverse age group, from early twenties to early eighties and our curriculum is as diverse as our ages. We strive to take the Biblical teachings and put them into everyday life as we discuss the topics and grow together, loving God and each other. Our class sponsors the Christmas Eve worship services and you don’t want to miss our annual Christmas social!

U & I

Stephen Beadles
9:00 am in Room 130
Topic: The Parables of Jesus

Show Description

Stephen Beadles leads the U&I class with lessons directly from the Old and New Testament. Each class begins with a hymn, a time of sharing, prayer, and a review of those who have fallen ill and those in need. The lesson follows with abundant participation of class discussion. Our class is very diverse in age from the forties to nineties. Our goal is to apply Christian Living to everyday life in the manner that Jesus taught us. The class is exceptional in its outreach to missions, contributing to needs in the community, an annual scholarship to a student preparing for the ministry, and ministering to the sick. Three times per year, we have a covered dish luncheon with great fellowship and a program. We also prepare and sponsor the church-wide annual Thanksgiving-Eve Service. Our class motto is 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” KJV

Bill Farmer Bible Class

Diane Ware

Show Description

The Bill Farmer Bible Class delves into a book of Bible so make sure you bring your Bible. Class time begins with the singing of a hymn, prayer, and sharing of joys and concerns, followed by a lesson and discussion. The Bill Farmer Bible Class has been meeting since 1941 and was previously known as the Martin-Dabney Class. We are a caring, mission-minded group of mature Christians serving God locally, domestically, and internationally. Our class is made up of children of the Silent Generation with some Baby Boomers and Generation X’ers mixed in. Normally, our class gets together quarterly to share a themed potluck meal, play games, and enjoy live entertainment. At Easter, we organize and present Fairmount’s Good Friday Service to the Church and the community. Come grow with us! Teacher: Diane Ware.

Real Life Connections

Bob Baine
10:15 am in the Library
Topic: The Book of Acts

Show Description

RLC is a prayer-based class that shares the victories and struggles of “real life” with each other. Prayer time is a large focus of our class and allows individuals to be involved with, and pray for each other. Our studies vary from following the Fairmount sermon series, to authored books, to books of the Bible, and anything in between, with lots of class discussion. We enjoy meeting in a circle to encourage participation and fellowship. We enjoy a Christmas gathering and other outings sprinkled throughout the year. Our “Rivah” social is always a highlight. All ages are welcome.

Reflections of Him

Frank Saunders
10:15 am in Room 132

Show Description

The ROH class chooses a single book of the Bible and studies it in-depth with leader, Frank Saunders. We open with fellowship, announcements, and prayer time followed by the lesson. Our class is very diverse with ages ranging from 20 to those in their 90’s, all of whom are at different places in their spiritual walk. The class supports each other with prayer during the week and practical support when needed. We are highly mission focused and support many ministries both locally and abroad. Fellowship activities have included luncheons, Christmas parties w/tacky light tours, dinner theater, historical and local interest tours, and more. We are very open to any new faces and would love to have you join us.

Thrive

Joseph Pennington

Show Description

Thrive is a ministry for young adults to equip them for a life of disciple-making—both now and for the future. Adulthood holds real challenges. Change is guaranteed, futures are uncertain, and community does not always come easily. With weekly gatherings for a time of teaching and intentional discussions, we strive to connect young adults and emphasize teaching and discipleship to allow for fellowship, spiritual growth and spiritual nourishment.

The Walk

Ray Butler
10:15 am in the Music Suite

Show Description

Led by Ray Butler, the Walk Class is composed of people who are striving to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Our goal is to be walking closer with God each day and to respond as He would desire us to respond. Lessons cover a variety of topics and books of the Bible. Members of the Walk are actively involved with the ministries of FCC. Throughout the year we schedule socials, various local outings, and service projects. We enjoy our times together and invite you to join us.

Conversational Sign Language

Christy Conquy
10:15am in Room 114

Show Description

98% of deaf people in the United States and Canada have never experienced the gospel message. With that in mind, a new focus for Fairmount will be a ministry to reach those who are deaf in our local area. Would you like to be able to greet our deaf friends and have a conversation as they arrive at the door? Starting on September 12, we are offering a sign language class to any individual who is 14 years or older in order to provide the tools to communicate with those who are deaf. The class will focus on vocabulary and sentences, as well as some cultural lessons for the deaf community.
