Philippians 2:5 says, "Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus..." (NRSV) Growth toward that kind of spirituality is the goal of Christian Education; a goal shared by individuals who see themselves as traveling toward a destination, rather than having already arrived. Here are some educational opportunities offered at South Suburban Christian Church:
Sunday Adult Options
There are growing and changing options for adult education and discipleship every Sunday. These include a vast array of Sunday school classes and electives. Whether attending Bible studies or topical studies, whether the delivery method is lecture or discussion, all such offerings are Bible-based and designed to promote spiritual growth and maturinge.
