Adult Ministries Discipleship through Every stage of life
The Adult Ministries Department serves the adult members of our church with a wide range of activities and events. Discipleship and mentoring are at the heart of our programs, which range from small group meetings to large discipleship classes. Whether you’re coping with depression, grief, financial issues, marital issues or parenting, we are here to help witness the love, comfort and hope of Jesus Christ in our world.
One of our most popular activities is our Sunday morning adult Bible studies. Taught by seasoned teachers, our classes cover a wide range of topics, including current events, Bible book studies, prophecy, and marriage and family. Each class has its own unique style and format, offering something for everyone.
DSCC ADULT BIBLE STUDIES
FaithLife is a relaxed class that welcomes new fellowship of married and single middle-aged adults. Join us as we discuss, explore the scriptures together and enjoy fellowship at fun events held throughout the year. The atmosphere is friendly and discussion-oriented. This class is a great place to grow spiritually and make new friends! We meet at 9:30AM in the cafeteria.
Under Construction is a study group for adults of all ages taught by Howard Rogers at 9:30AM in Room 106. Using a teacher-led format that invites class interaction and comment, our purpose is to identify and apply Biblical principles to our daily life. Handouts each week focus our thoughts on the study and direct attention to the key issues. There is a prayer time each week and prayer requests are emailed to class members.
Living Branches is a class for young singles and married couples that meets each week in Room 106 at 8:00AM and is facilitated by Jim Kelly. Our class verse is John 15:5, and our purpose is to build authentic relationships through group discussions centered around God’s Word.
The Maranatha class is an in-depth adult Bible study taught by Steve Sonmor in room 107 at 9:30 AM. We normally study a book of the Bible, and in this class we seek to explore the Scriptures much like a Bible College class, digging into even the difficult passages. However, we are always mindful of the need to find application of what we are discovering to give fulfillment and purpose to our daily lives. For those who want a deep study with personal application, join us at 9:30 AM on Sunday mornings.
Truth and Grace is that wonderful fellowship and study for all those who are “young at heart”. The class meets at 8:00AM and 11:00 AM in Room 107. Dr. Paul Benware leads the class in both topical and expository studies from God’s Word, with plenty of participation encouraged from the class members. If you want to be in on an exciting study of God’s Word, this class is for you!
Basic Foundations is a 13-week revolving study designed to teach basic biblical foundations for spiritual growth, whether you are a new believer or have been saved a long time, whether you have lots of questions or simply would like to review the basics. Some of the topics that are covered are Assurance of Salvation, How to Study the Bible, Serving in a local church, Biblical Communication, Prayer and Fellowship. The format is a combination of direct teaching, discussion and practical application and is taught by Claude Ah Sing and Brian Potter in the cafeteria at 11:30 AM. All ages are welcome.
If you are a thirty or forty-something who is looking for a place to learn, grow and connect, then the Homebuilders Class is for you.

There are a lot of discussions and solid biblical teaching, all in an atmosphere of love and grace. Join us this week for a great time of study and fellowship!
God's Gals is a class designed for women who are single, divorced, widowed, or simply attend church alone. We meet on during the 11AM hour in room 106.
