Here are some things to keep in mind as each of us explore the Adult Curriculum options:
- The Bible is our primary textbook, the curriculum is an aide to the Bible.
- 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.
- Advantages / Disadvantages
- Cost impact or savings... Current vs. Future with growth
- 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.
- Does it address needs and is it applicable to our community?
- Is the curriculum be suitable for all adults? The youngest Young Adult class up through the Senior Adults.
- Any technology issues? (i.e. email delivery, how do the Senior Adults participate in this?)
- 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.
- Current Lifeway curriculum (Explore The Bible)
- Investigate LakePointe's curriculum (MinistryPoint)
