If you enjoy the many opportunities that a large church offers, but
also want a place to plug into a small group setting, check out some
of these groups at Woodmont:
Sunday School
Meeting at 9:30am or 11:00am, these classes offer a range
of
Bible study, standard curriculum, and topical discussion.
 Challenge
Class - 9:30 am - Room 200
This adult class discusses contemporary issues from a
Christian perspective using a variety of formats including lecture
/ discussion, small group discussion, guest speakers, video lectures,
and member reports.
Explorers - 9:30 am - Room 100
Jim Easter, Teacher
This is a small, sociable class (usually 6-10 folks each week) who
feel free to get off of the week's topic! Jim Easter is the teacher,
but others in the class also volunteer to teach or lead the discussions
from time to time. The class often picks short portions of the book
to read aloud in class, so that even if you have not read the book
you will easily be able to participate in the class.
Friendship Class - 9:30 am - Room 143
Mary Hackett, Teacher
This class follows the International Sunday Sunday-School Lessons,
provided by Cokes bury (Methodist Publishing House). The presentation
usually consists of a lecture by the teacher followed by an open discussion
of the scripture and its applicability to our lives. The class consists
mainly of seniors, but would be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age,
interested in what the Bible is saying to us today.
 Journey
Through the Bible - 9:30 am - Room 107
Claude Weingand and
Cory Howell, Teachers
This class surveys the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. It is Bible
content intensive. Presentation is primarily by lecture, although
there is some dialogue and occasional use of audio/visual. This class's
uniqueness is found in the approach through: informed spiritual living
in place of religious activity; a group encounter with the living
God through the holy writ; a personal encounter with Jesus as Lord
and living Word; and the Bible as God's living Word. All are welcome
to attend.
Discovery Class - 11:00 am - Room 100
Doug King, Teacher
This class explores a variety of subjects centered on enhancing each
person's relationship with God using a stimulating blend of group
dialogue and prayer.
New Beginnings - 11:00 am - Library
Rob Quinn, Teacher
This class offers an open forum for in-depth reading and discussion
of scripture. With an academic tendency, the class generally focuses
on one book from the Bible or one topic of daily life at a time. A
service-oriented group with the energy to fully participate, this
is also the class to contact for the retired teachers ministry or
with ideas for other projects..
Reflections - 11:00 am - Room 200
Randy Smith, Teacher
The Reflections Class is an issue-based class that thrives on discussion
and group participation. With lively conversation and coffee, participants
