School of Christian Learning
To nurture and enrich the Christ-centered life journey of adults.
The School of Christian Learning (SCL) is a branch of Adult Ministry that is dedicated to enriching the Christ centered life journey of BPC adults by providing distinctively Christian opportunities for faith development through education and Christian spiritual formation to the end that, “we may present everyone mature in Christ.” Col. 1:28.
SCL provides a wide array of classes to deepen your faith and enrich your spiritual and everyday life. Courses are offered year-round [with the exception of August and December] on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM in the Garden room. Class topics reflect an openness to and acceptance of all theological perspectives. SCL classes are accepting, welcoming and inclusive environments, providing thought provoking teachers to challenge, inspire and promote personal Christian growth and a deeper relationship with God.
Classes are free, and open to all from BPC and the general community. No expertise or knowledge of the Bible is necessary for enjoying the classes. Each class is designed to be “user friendly” and stand on its own so that students may enter at any time. CDs of each class are also available through the church office for those who cannot attend every class in a series.
A sampling of past and current class offerings and instructors include:
- “Lost Books of the Bible for Dummies” by Dr. Daniel Smith-Christopher, LMU
- “How God Transforms Stress into Happiness” by Rev., Dr. Mark Baker
- “Listening for the Heartbeat of God” by Rev., Dr. Phillip Newell
- “Another Perspective on Islam and the Koran” by Imam Jihad Turk, UCLA
- “Revisiting Paul the Apostle” by Dr. David Cortes-Fuentes, CST
- “Judaism in the Middle Ages” by Rabbi, Dr. Elliott Dorff
Come for fellowship and refreshments at 9:15 AM followed by class from 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM. All are invited and welcome.
