Adult Education

The Black Forest Community Church provides Adult Education (Bible Study) for adults of all ages. All adults are welcome to attend. The class schedule is aligned with the school calendar. Please see the Education Calendar for exact dates, times, and curriculum.

Beginning Sep. 9, 2007, the Adult Education classes will take place at 9:00 am, in the Log Building conference room. The curriculum for this year is "The Book of Genesis".

Genesis is a book of beginnings: the origin of the universe, birth of the human race, founding of the Hebrew nation. Yet this book is more than a record of origins. It lays the foundation for great themes prominent in the Old and New Testaments. Here we learn about God, humanity and nature in their mutual relationships. We should not be surprised that Genesis, more than any other part of the Bible, has been the scene of historical, literary, theological and scientific battles. Since much controversy is fueled by misinformation and secondhand opinion, we need to find out for ourselves what the biblical text teaches and, equally important, what it does not teach.

The purpose of this curriculum is to help you learn the meaning of Genesis for those who first heard it, then for us today. You may be surprised to discover how clear it is when we let the author tell the message in his own way - without importing questions he never intended to ask, much less answer. Much of Genesis consists of stories - the history of individuals, families, tribes and nations. You will find that some of their experiences mirror your own, reflecting the way God wants to lead you into new ways of knowing and serving him.
