Christian Education
At Southminster we believe all people should have opportunities for spiritual growth. We have many opportunities for adults and children to continue growing in their faith. We invite you to explore our Sunday School classes. Visitors and newcomers are always welcome.
Adult Classes
Christian Life ~ 10:00 AM ~ Conference Room
We will begin the year with discussion of the afterlife. Where do we go from here? We will discuss how this unknown is defined by our faith, other religious, literature, movies, and mythology. This will be fun discussion about the unknown. Come be surprised about how all of these different areas try to define the unknown and how similar we all are.
Contemporary Issues ~ 9:45 AM - 10:30 AM ~ Zoom
This lively discussion group explores current events, social justice and health issues, books, and many other topics of interest and focuses on how our faith guides our responses to these issues. From time to time, we have had speakers who covered topics that ranged from Judaism to the crisis in Haiti to solar energy to gerrymandering to medicine.
The Contemporary Issues class meets on Zoom on Sundays from 9:45 AM – 10:30 AM. Plans to return to meeting in the church library in-person, while continuing the virtual connection, are in the works

Children's Classes
"The Gathering" ~ 11:00 AM ~ Sanctuary & Education Wing
Beginning September 17, 2023 our Sunday School Children’s Program- “The Gathering” will be back for a new year!
Children will begin this program in the sanctuary and participate in the Worship Service with their families and will be excused to attend a children’s education program prior to the beginning of the sermon.
The children will remain in the Sunday School Room designated as "The Gathering" and can be picked up at the end of the Worship Service. We promise to make this time valuable as we focus on beloved Bible stories. We will also include some memory work such as the Lord’s Prayer and the Doxology, making their worship experience more powerful.
What if you miss a Sunday? Do not worry. We plan to have lessons for the week sent to your child so that you can review at home.
