Studying God's Word is the only way for His children to know His will. In addition to Bible based lessons during times of worship, Riverwood has classes for all ages during Bible study times - from pre-school through adult classes. We are blessed with tremendous Bible teachers and educational supervisors. Adult classes are listed below.

The Book of Matthew
Taught by Kirk Waite in the Auditorium

This is a verse by verse in depth study of the first gospel. Matthew's target audience is the Jews. This book will use a large number of Old Testament references to prove that Jesus is truly the Messiah.

"Some Lessons We Learn from Jesus"
Taught by Bill Clark in Room 14

Without doubt, Jesus was the greatest teacher of all time. His knowledge, His work, His love, His teachings, and His sacrifice were and are unsurpassed. It is appropriate for us to look to Him to learn How to be His followers. Some topics include: How to teach, How to answer questions, How to pray, How to grow, How to deal with temptations, How to live, How to die, etc.

Young Adults Class (Ages 18-29) - "The Character of Jesus"
Taught by Dustin Welch in Room 310

We've all heard the stories. Some of us have even memorized the names, dates and facts. But do we really know the character of the man who forever changed life on our planet? In many ways Jesus is just as much an enigma today as he was when he walked the earth. His words, actions and motives seem so foreign to our minds. Our goal is to dig beneath the surface facts of the gospel and come to better know the man Jesus.

Young Families Class - "Christians As God's Ambassadors in the World Today"
Taught by Dennis Green in the Fellowship Hall

We will be discussing the Christian's efforts and opportunities to connect and reach others. How do today's world and current generations change our efforts to deliver and touch with God's truths? We are ambassadors of the 'same message' but to a new, fast-changing culture.

"Our Adversary the Devil - Myth, Legend or Fact"
Taught by Rick Binkley in Room 10

We will explore what God’s Word reveals concerning this evil power. Ancient cultures will be briefly surveyed to get a new perspective of Satan, as his origin, personality, and power are uncovered thru God’s Word.

The Restoration Movement (Young Marrieds Class)
Taught by Phil Sanders in Room 301

The Restoration Movement did much to influence the modern church. Join us as we trace the history of the church after scripture and the apostles.

Wednesday Evening Adult Classes - 7:00 p.m.

"Roses in December" (Ladies' Class)
Taught by Donna Baldwin in the Fellowship Hall

Relax, and walk down memory lane in the Scriptures as we study this book by Jane McWhorter. It deals with lessons from the scriptures about remembering. How has God preserved memories for His children? Why is the brain designed to forget, as well as to remember? What are the “remembering” responsibilities of a Christian? How can I make and preserve good memories?

The Book of Galatians
Taught by Rick Binkley and Phil Sanders in the Auditorium

Galatians 3:11 says that ‘The righteous will live by faith.’ Yet even in the first century, some were losing sight of the gospel of Christ and trying to be justified through works. Come join us as we study Paul's letter to these Christians as he reasons to correct these misconceptions. Along the way we will find beautiful passages including the fruit of the Spirit and serving one another in love.
