SSCC has a diverse congregation.
It is a place where all are welcome, regardless of where you are on
your spiritual journey. We have created a number of educational
opportunities that will assist ALL people to grow personally,
spiritually and intellectually within a caring Christian community.
Don't check your brain at the door! We encourage diverse thoughts and
questions so that we can learn from each other what it means to be
Christian in our demanding culture. We don't claim to have the answers,
but we will seek to give you the tools to discover insights into life's
most intriguing issues.

Adult
Sunday School
Each Sunday at 10 am, we have a variety of classes
that meet all types of interests and desires.
Challenger
- Room 201-203
The
Challenger Class does just that – challenges us to delve deeper
and to
constantly re-examine our faith through mutual study and discussion.
The fact that students are in various stages of their lives provides a
broad spectrum of insight, perspective, and experience.
We
are currently studying scriptures that help us answer the question
posed to Jesus on several occasions: "What must I do?" We've begun with
the Ten Commandments as we asked how the Old/First Testament helps us
define the requirements of the Christian life. The Rev. Dick Mitchell
is co-teaching this series.
Facilitator: Rev. Landa Simmons
Gateway
- Room 205
We
are made up of people ages 30-something and up (even includes some
grandparents). We are eclectic, widely diverse in age and background;
singles and couples. Group is characterized by our distinct
intellectual curiosity.
This
class rotates studies alternating between Bible study and
thought-provoking topics of interest to the group (current events,
ethics, self help, life issues, and so forth). We are currently
studying "Who Do They Say I Am? The Current Quest for the
Historical Jesus." The last 30 years have seen an explosion of
new literary and historical insight into the life and ministry of Jesus
of Nazareth. Rev. Jones surveys the findings of the Jesus
Seminar, Marcus Borg, Dominic Crossan and other leading Jesus
scholars. Join us and be a part of
this great class.
Facilitator: Rev. Chuck Jones
Genesis
-
Room 120
This Genesis is a class for "young" adults in age or heart.
Various
members help facilitate the class. We are studying the book of
Proverbs. All are welcome.
Facilitator: Terry Frost
Parentheses
People - Room 207
We
are made up of about a dozen or so people from various walks of life
within our church family. Ages range from mid life to starting over,
some single, some married. Some stand to the far left, others to the
far right. We are never at a loss for discussion and regularly draw
from the most important reference material: a life of memories and
experiences! The theme of the class is current events with God in
mind. All are invited to join in the discussion.
Facilitator: Dr. Bob Roper
OMNI
(Open Minded to New Insights) - Room 214 (Parlor)
We
are an Intergenerational group in dialogue with scripture. All are
welcome. We have begun a study of the Gospels, now taking an in-depth
look at the Gospel of John..
