Adult Curriculum

Here are some things to keep in mind as each of us explore the Adult Curriculum options: 
  1. The Bible is our primary textbook, the curriculum is an aide to the Bible.
  2. All adults will be on the same curriculum. (non-negotiable item) This doesn't preclude special studies such as the new Membership class or any Stewardship emphasis.
  3. Advantages / Disadvantages
  4. Cost impact or savings... Current vs. Future with growth
  5. Curriculum for Sunday morning must be Open. By Open, I mean that anyone could attend on any given Sunday and participate. In contrast to a Closed study, such as Experiencing God or Beth Moore studies, where if you miss the first couple of weeks you won't be able to join.
  6. Does it address needs and is it applicable to our community?
  7. Is the curriculum be suitable for all adults? The youngest Young Adult class up through the Senior Adults.
  8. Any technology issues? (i.e. email delivery, how do the Senior Adults participate in this?)
  9. Curriculum must adhere to the Baptist Faith & Message.  
For now I'd like us to focus on our current Lifeway curriculum and Lake Pointe's curriculum.  This will give us a good start.  Feel free to explore others as well if you would like.
  1. Current Lifeway curriculum (Explore The Bible)
  2. Investigate LakePointe's curriculum (MinistryPoint
