Church School

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."  2 Peter 3:18

 

As a renewed mind is vital to ongoing spiritual growth, Ebenezer maintains classes for all age groups in which mastery of the Word of God is our aim.  A comprehensive curriculum is utilized for pre-K thru high school youth.  We have four adult classes that explore a variety of themes: blical studies, reformed doctrine, church history, apologetics, and relevant cultural issues.  As always, the Bible serves as our only rule for faith and practice.

 

Church School at Ebenezer begins at 9 a.m. on Sunday mornings.

Rediscovering Holiness

James Packer, writes: “There was a time when Christians laid great emphasis on God’s call to holiness. But how different it is today! To listen to our sermons and to read the books we write—and then watch the zany, worldly, quarrelsome way we behave—one would never imagine that the highway to holiness was once clearly marked out for Bible believers. The path of holiness is not easy, but by walking its hills and valleys through faith, you will answer God’s highest call: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’ And you’ll find yourself closer to Him.” Come study the Scriptures with us, as we explore the necessity of holiness in the Christian life. 


Sixties Plus

Teacher: Ray Dockery, Randy Heinzl

Bailey Building, Room #10

Dangerous Duty

   “The pursuit of pleasure is not optional. It is essential.” So writes John Piper of the view that genuine Christians must always pursue that which gives them joy. To do anything less would be unchristian!  And, to that end, Piper insists that the greatest pleasure of all is that of God himself. Countless numbers of the faithful have enjoyed Piper’s book, ‘Desiring God’ in which the author recounts the dangerous duty of every Christian: to pursue their God with a reckless abandon, and to find in that search the greatest of all joys. Come study the Scriptures with us as we consider the theme of how a longing soul finds the all-satisfying Christ at the center of all things.
