Welcome Class
Every Sunday morning during the Church School hour (9:40 - 10:40 am) at Northway Christian Church there is a session of "The Welcome Class."
The Welcome Class is a weekly conversation with the Senior Minister on a vital topic of the Christian faith. Twice a year (spring and fall) we cover "Basic Christianity" in twelve consecutive weeks. The schedule of subjects covered is:
| Week 1 | Jesus Christ |
| Week 2 | God |
| Week 3 | Prayer |
| Week 5 | The Bible: Content |
| Week 6 | The Bible: Authority |
| Week 7 | Baptism and the Lord's Supper |
| Week 8 | The Holy Spirit |
| Week 9 | The Church |
| Week 10 | A Family Tree of Churches |
| Week 11 | The Characteristic Beliefs of Disciples |
| Week 12 | Church Membership: Why Bother? |
This unit is usually taught in the 12 weeks after Easter and
in the 12 weeks before Christmas.
It's always followed by a three week series called "The Next
Step."
Next Step Class
Three issues are addressed in The Next Step Class:
| Week 1 | Your Spiritual Type |
| Week 2 | Your Spiritual Gift |
| Week 3 | Your Ministry |
The rest of the year in The Welcome Class there are teaching
series of general interest to growing Christians and inquiring
seekers.
Recent teaching series brought by the Senior Minister
include:
- Everything you ever wanted to know about the Bible, but were afraid to ask... (Summer 2003)
- A Seminar on the Holy Spirit (Summer 2004)
- The Advent People: The Magi, Mary, Joseph, Herod, Simeon and Anna (Advent 2004)
