Adult Education

To fully know God in this life is to know Him through the Scriptures.

NOTE: Adult education classes (with the exception of God Connects) take a break for the summer. Sunday morning classes will resume on August 24. Weekday classes will resume in September.

All adults -- young and seasoned -- are invited and encouraged to participate in Bible study at Immanuel. Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. — the Education Hour — is a great time for parents to engage in God’s Word while kids are engaged in their respective classes.  Tuesdays are also a great opportunity to study God’s Word.  Join us each week!

Please e-mail Don Kearley if you have any questions about the studies offered: dkearley@immanuelcl.org

  • The Gospel of Mark

    Many people who are great by the world’s standards or are in positions of authority lord their greatness over those they consider below them. But not our Lord Jesus. The Lord of heaven and earth took on the lowly form of a man to serve humanity and to sacrifice His life to ransom people from sin, death, and Satan. Come study the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark and learn of His servant heart, miraculous powers, and triumph won through His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection.

  • Women's Bible Study - Book of Romans

    Tuesdays 8:15-9:30am | The Well | Led by Laura Wright | Meets every other week

    If there’s a gap between the ideal image in your head of the perfect mother, daughter, wife, sister, co-worker and the person you see in the mirror each day, welcome to the human race. Paul struggled with forces inside of him that longed for better and for worse simultaneously, and he wrote a letter to the Roman Christians to explain how we can never rise above this inner conflict on our own Here’s the good news - we don’t have to. You already know the answer is “Jesus”, but in Romans, Paul tells us both why and how Jesus is the only path to true freedom. This study meets every-other week.
