1. Ladies’ Class led by Betty McPhail – The Names of God

The Ladies Class is going through the book Praying the Names of God by Ann Spangler. It is a time of true fellowship as they learn together the Attributes and Character Traits of the Heavenly Father. Betty is a tremendous teacher who brings a great deal of wisdom to the class. They regularly pray for one another (and others) in a very practical approach based on what God says about Himself. Prayer is never optional when desiring intimacy with God. We invite you to come learn the concept of “Praying the Names of God.” We are convinced that you will view life from a different perspective.

2. Couples Class led by Neil Merrett – A Study of First Peter

This Class consists mostly of couples with young (and not so young) children, but feel free to join before children arrive. You won’t be alone. Presently Neil is leading the couples through the Book of First Peter (LOTS of application there). Under his direction the couples are growing in their walk with Christ as they feed one another. One of this group’s highlights is a monthly get together at one of the member’s homes (pot-luck, etc.). This informal setting provides the couples opportunity to know other couples in a non-threatening atmosphere. The Couples Class says to other couples – Come check us out!

3. New Members Class led by Kenny Hodges – Foundations in Grace

“Foundations in Grace” is a semester course based on Titus 2:11-14. It was designed and written by “Pastor Kenny” to provide a sure foundation for all who have chosen to make Emmanuel home. It is a study of Basic Bible Doctrine regarding the Gospel of Grace and the Christian Life. Don’t let the word “Basic” trick you. We might better say “Foundational,” for this course consists of 14 weeks (lecture, dialogue, Q & A) of thinking through what the Bible says about GRACE (the course is more meat than milk). Kenny and the Elders desire that everyone at Emmanuel take this course, but deem it pre-requisite for those who have a desire to teach.

4. Mixed Adult Class led by Butch Simmons – End Time Events

The mixed adult class is for any adult (young, not so young, single, married) who wants to dig deeper into the Word. Presently we are looking at “Things to Come: A Study of Prophecy yet Future.” Our goal is that “Information of the Future might prompt Intimacy with Christ in the Present.” This diverse group consists of housewives, grandparents, professors, scientists, retirees, ministers (you name it). We attempt to maintain a balance between verse-by-verse and topical teaching (sometimes both), but always attempting to answer the question – “What Does The Scripture Say? (Of course that would be true about every class or course at Emmanuel.)
