Since adults cover such a wide age span, they have experiences and needs that differ widely. But I’ve realized that most adults desire to learn and grow, especially through experiences that make up transitions in their life. Some of these life transitions are: choosing a mate and marrying, becoming parents for the first time, job or career changes, children leaving home, becoming grandparents, the death of a spouse, etc..... These transitions can be opportunities for growth if we treat them as such.

Because this is true, we need to realize the tremendous responsibility and also the opportunities that are before us in our Adult Bible Classes. Regardless of our age or our life experiences, we all have certain things in common with everyone else. For instance, we’re all searching for someone or something to help us make sense of our lives. All people have a desire to be needed and want to feel like they belong to something worthwhile. And all people need to know that the Church is a place where we are loved and can reach out to others in love. This is why our Vision for the West-Ark Education Ministry is, "To bring all people closer to God and one another."

I am continually thankful for the excellent teaching staff we have at the West-Ark Church. Our Education Ministry at West-Ark has Bible Classes available for all ages from infants to adults. We have nine adult classes on Sunday Morning to chose from and seven on Wednesday Evening. Confused?... remember you can always find a current class schedule on the table in the foyer.

If you’re not attending Bible Classes on Sunday Morning and Wednesday Evening, may I ask you, "Why not? Where are you spending that time?"

Looking forward to seeing you in Bible Class.
