What is a Disciple? 

A disciple of Christ actively pursues growing in love, obedience, and knowledge in order to partner in God's mission, with God's People, for God's glory.

In our adult education ministries, our aim is to fulfill both the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:34-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20). We pursue this vision through courses that balance instruction of Scripture, Christian Doctrine, and Spiritual Disciplines—all offered within an environment of humility and mutual care for one another's growth in Christ (Hebrews 10:24-25).

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

There are many ways to be built up as a disciple of Jesus Christ at CTR. The following adult ministries will focus on Bible, Doctrine, and/or Practice. All courses feature engaging, discussion-based instruction in a supportive community that fosters deep reflection, with some courses encouraging the completion of meaningful outside assignments and study.

Sunday School

Sunday School is a great opportunity to take one of our core classes. We offer one family-friendly class on Sunday mornings from 9:00-10:00am in the fall and spring. This class is designed to be accessible for middle-school-aged youth through adults, with coloring pages provided for younger children.  

Women's Bible Study

Women's Bible Study is an amazing place to dive into God's Word with God's people. You will be educated, equipped, and greatly encouraged, both by the teaching and by the women who grow alongside you. Women's Bible Study is offered during the school year on Tuesdays from 9:15-11:15am (childcare provided) and Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30pm (no childcare). 

Men's Bible Study

Men's Bible Study welcomes all brothers to grow in God's Word with one another. Join other men as you are challenged, built up, and equipped to make disciples centered on God's Word. Men's Bible Study is offered during the school year on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 8:00-9:15am. 

Deep Discipleship

Deep Discipleship empowers participants to grow in their faith. This course seeks to equip believers in three areas of discipleship: Christian Story (Bible), Christian Belief (Doctrine), and Christian Formation (Spiritual Disciplines).  These three elements create a holistic approach to discipleship. Our goal is for this course is to strengthen your biblical knowledge, theological foundations, and everyday faith practice. Deep Discipleship is offered Wednesday nights from 5:30-7:30pm during the school year.
