Teachers are class members as well as other church members and outside speakers. The lessons vary, ranging from Bible studies to contemporary studies for successful living. The class has an active social calendar and contributes to community and international needs, most recently providing a scholarship for a Haitian student. Back FOUNDATIONS (Room 214 & 216, 1st level of Education Annex)   (Class Website) Our class of energetic couples mostly in their 30’s and 40’s, with or without young children, shares the desire to make our faith the foundation on which we build our lives. The class enjoys lively discussions as they are challenged to examine their faith through thought provoking lessons by class leader, Dr. Travis Tunnell. The class also enjoys many fellowship activities outside the church, for instance dinners at member’s homes or outings to the pumpkin patch. Throughout the year, the class participates in many mission projects such as volunteers for the Angel Tree and the Candlelighters group at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. All are invited to join us as you build your foundation in life. Back FRIENDS IN FAITH (Room 319, 2nd level of Education Annex) “Friends in Faith” literally captures the relationship that exists among the members of this class. On Sundays the topics of study include a variety of Bible study materials and discussions of current spiritual issues. At other times, the class enjoys frequent social events that always include great food and excursions where the topics of conversation tend toward early retirement, grandchildren, travel and anything else that can be covered before late news time! The door is always open for new “friends.” Back GOOD NEWS (Room 215, 1st level of Education Annex) The basic class format is discussion led by members or special guest speakers. Topics range from Bible study to “Living with Teenagers” which provides a good clue to the family-oriented concerns influencing class members’ lives. The class has regular social events ranging from picnics to international dinners. Additionally, the class actively supports church and community projects. Back JOURNEYS (Choir Room) We are all travelers on a journey… a caring, supportive group of diverse individuals who recognize that while every person’s faith journey is an individual quest, we all benefit from collective study, guidance & fellowship. We celebrate God’s inclusivity and welcome everyone as we seek to grow spiritually in God’s grace. By way of welcoming all people, we strive to personify the United Methodist tenet- “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors.” Our studies are based on scripture and contemporary topics in an open discussion format in order to connect faith with life. We invite you to join us as we seek to develop the spiritual tools with which to face life’s challenges and opportunities. Back KINDRED SPIRITS (Room 321, 2nd level of Education Annex) This class has a commitment to both study during the Sunday School hour and an active social life outside of Sunday School where they come together on a regular basis to bond friendships with each other. For learning, the class uses study books of 8 – 12 chapters. Every family unit purchases a book and stays current on the reading. Class members share teaching duties. Both Bible study books and books on current issues are used. New members are always welcome. Please come for a visit. Back NEW BEGINNINGS (Room 219, 1st level of Education Annex) This class, which is career and family oriented, consists of couples and singles primarily in their 30’s and 40’s. The class studies a variety of Biblical and other timely topics, such as parenting, marriage, and careers which stimulates enjoyable class discussion and informative exchanges. Classes are led by individuals both from within and outside the group. Friendships and camaraderie are strengthened through adult and family monthly socials. The numerous commitments of mid-life spread our members in many directions among church, family, career, community and friends. New Beginnings helps us stay grounded in Christianity. Please join us! Back OPEN DOOR (Room 210, Office Wing) The Open Door Class provides Christian Education for active adults. Bible-based literature establishes the foundation for lessons led by rotating class members and guest speakers. Monthly socials and special church-related projects support the caring fellowship of the group. The Open Door Class welcomes new members and guests. Back PATHFINDERS (Room 313, 2nd level of Education Annex) This class consists of young couples in their 30s and early 40s with young families. (The oldest child among the group is 6.) This tight-knit group discussess current Christian topics and enjoys frequent social gatherings. If you're looking for a place to plug in, join Pathfinders -- for friendship, fellowship and conversation. Back SEARCHERS (Room 209, Office Wing) Seeking to know God through the study of His word, this class is a diverse group that actively participates in the lesson. They are a class of varied ages and welcome newcomers at any time. Fun and fellowship is a big part of this class. Back SERENDIPITY (Room 213, 1st level of Education Annex) The word “serendipity” basically means “full of surprises”. This definition easily describes the Serendipity Sunday School class. This class consists of approximately fifteen families. Lessons are self-taught by class member volunteers and cover biblical passages, current political and newsworthy events, and family/child-rearing issues. The class takes trips as well as seasonal social gatherings. The class is composed of “invigorating, slightly off-centered” members who are 40+. Back TRANSITIONS (Room 315, 2nd level of Education Annex)   (Class Newsletter) Webster’s defines “transition” as a passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another. Our class of couples and individuals, primarily in their 30’s, 40's and 50’s, understand that life is a series of transitions. Throughout times of stability, as well as the inevitable periods of transition, we explore biblically based topics and current events, as well as inter-family and interpersonal issues. Our mission projects include sponsoring two Haitian school children, an underprivileged family at Christmas with food and gifts, and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Class socials include a snow ski trip, an occasional Sunday morning brunch, and quarterly Salt & Pepper Shake-Up dinners, where groups of 8-10 class members spend an evening together. Back TRIUNE (Rooms 205 & 207, Office Wing) This class is the “oldest” at Trinity, organized in 1958. However, this in no way reflects the age group, as all are “young adults”, at least in heart! A core of knowledgeable teachers leads the class with informative and lively member participation. Studies are from the International Series and Biblical topics. The class assists with Salvation Army Christmas Tree Project and Christmas gifts for Youth Home. Socials include a Valentine Party, Fish Fry, Barbecue, and Christmas Party. The class is a very caring group, taking care of each other very well.
