Current Sunday School Class Offerings
The weekly Sunday School program serves as the primary educational ministry at Hardingville and involves focused Bible teaching for all ages. The Adult program typically consists of four different electives each quarter, and teachers for the children and teen classes typically rotate every other quarter. The following classes are currently being offered this quarter at Hardingville
The Alphabet of Christian Experience
God’s design is for every believer to be seasoned to maturity through a continual growth process. Spiritual growth is simply matching up our practice with our position. We have a majestic position in Christ, and God wants us to reflect this position in our progressive experience. Are you growing and are you satisfied with your rate of growth? In our study this quarter, the class will consider a personal admonition for believers following each letter of the English alphabet. For example, as we focus on the letter A, we will study I Thess. 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. If you are interested in this personal and practical study, you are invited. This class will be taught by Pastor Terry Smith and will meet in the Main Auditorium.
Remember Me, O My God
We all might think of some familiar items in the story of Nehemiah: the bold cupbearer, the insta-built walls, and the ambidextrous laborer-warriors. Perhaps we think also of some common subjects such as leadership and obedience and hope. However, we often overlook that behind all of those elements lies the underlying thread and unavoidable theme of prayer. The citizens of Jerusalem and their governor were in an impossible situation that seemed to only become more so along the way. They must look to their God, and He must look upon them, or they will not survive. Come join us to meet a man of prayer and watch him lead a nation to pray. This class is taught by Pastor Bruce Dare and will meet in the Assembly Room.
Parenting 101
This class will be a small group study of Scriptural principles for parenting. We will begin by considering a few axioms on parents and building character in our kids; we will then pursue the challenges of establishing boundaries, discipline, controlling influences, and specific ways to raise Nike children in our modern world. This is a must for parents with children at home. There will be a number of resources made available to parents and much discussion where we will learn from one another as well. This class will be taught by Pastor Mark Franklin and will meet in the Assembly Room.
Renewing Your Mind in a Mindless World
Scripture speaks of the need for the believer to renew his mind: (Romans 12:2, “but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”; 2 Corinthians 4:16, “yet the inward man is renewed day by day”; Ephesians 4:23, “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind”; and Colossians 3:10. “the new man, which is renewed in knowledge”). This ladies' class will visit this concept by using a book by the late James Boice by the same title. The objective of the class will be for us to learn the importance of thinking Biblically. This class will be taught by Liz Franklin and will meet in E-1.
Youth Class Assignments
Our Sunday School program for children and youth consists of classes directed towards specific age groups. Children from age 2 through 6th grade gather in the Assembly Room to sing a few songs, recognize birthdays, and pray before heading to their individual age group classes. The teens currently meet with the adults in the Main Auditorium for a time of singing, announcements, and a discussion of current events prior to
