ADULT EDUCATION Adult education is a prime place where we: Communicate God's Truth: teaching toward biblical understanding (II Tim. 2:15) educating and discipling of all ages (I Pet. 5:3), and training for ministry and life-skill (Eph. 4:11-16). Adult education offers strength for marriages and families; hope and encouragement through practical solutions to life's problems; real friendships; and opportunities to invest your life for others. The choices are many. They include: ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL: All classes are open to everyone. See the Sunday School brochure for more information on classes offered. RETREATS: A variety of seminars, conferences, and enrichment weekends are offered. HOMEBUILDERS: This ministry offers opportunities to enhance and support marriages through classes, workshops, fun events, and retreats. REAL LIFE CONNECTION GROUPS Lives are changed when people get involved in adult education at Faith Covenant. Whether participating in Sunday School classes, small groups, men's and women's ministries, age-related ministries, retreats, seminars, special events, or community service opportunities, there are many opportunities to deepen your passion for God and your compassion for people. ADULT FELLOWSHIP SMALL GROUP STUDIES are offered throughout the year, providing friendship, fellowship and spiritual encouragement. Bible studies, discipleship, topical studies, parenting groups, marriage support, and prayer/share support groups are just a few of the possibilities. The newsletter and Sunday bulletin lists these. COVENANT WOMEN includes all the women of our church for missions, service, and encouragement. Special events are held during the year for women in the church and community. A Southeast Conference Women’s Retreat is held in November. Our women also participate in other retreat opportunities. A national retreat is held every three years. MEN & BOYS' BREAKFASTS are held on the third Saturday of the month (September-May) at 8:00 a.m. It costs only $1.00 for a hearty breakfast and fun fellowship. SOFTBALL TEAMS on city leagues are offered for men’s participation. We stress growth! Each person has unique gifts to share. It is rewarding to be actively involved in Christian fellowship with friends of common age and interests. At Faith Covenant there are rich and varied opportunities for education, fellowship, service, and devotion with your friends.
