An Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF) is a group which provides you with an opportunity to be a part of a smaller community within CFC with the aim of growing you closer to the Lord. ABFs are groups of generally 15 to 30 attenders who meet together each Sunday morning at 8:15, 9:30, or 10:45. The size of these groups makes interactive learning very effective and relationships easy to form. ABF classes provide opportunities for Bible study, building relationships, prayer and service. In short, ABFs provide you with the chance to grow as a follower of Jesus Christ.  Another great thing about ABF’s is that they are always open to new people joining!  We’d love to have you join an ABF on your first Sunday at Christian Fellowship Church.

New Adult Bible Fellowships Starting In January:

The Book of Acts

9:30AM
Location: Fellowship Hall 2
Teachers: Joe Finkey, Curt Stoltzfus, Kyle Kauffman, & Matt Meservy

This Adult Bible Fellowship will take you through the story of the earliest Christian movement to show how—even in the midst of persecution and opposition—the early believers were able to rely on God’s spirit for direction and divine authority to preach the gospel to all nations.

The book of Acts is a carefully-recorded history of the explosive spread of the gospel and the rapid growth of the church after Christ’s ascension. In one of the most tumultuous, violent and dramatic books in the entire Bible, Acts starts with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, without which the young church could never have survived the unleashing of rage and prejudice towards these radical followers of The Way.

Join us as God shows His infinite power regardless of the circumstances, just as He continues to do today.

Location: Fellowship Hall 1 (Young Adults)
Teachers: Tyler Noel, Josh Sensenig, Matt Meservy, & David Broich

This series is a call for us to reimagine our Christian witness in today’s world. In this practical and encouraging series, we’ll discover biblical insights for witnessing well in our polarized, post-Christian world.

Christ-centered, chronological Bible studies for adults.

Gospel? It means good news. As Christians, it’s all too easy to forget that. That’s why we created The Gospel Project. The Gospel Project is a weekly Bible study that helps all ages dive deep into the big story of the Bible—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ.

* Christ Centered Bible Study – Every story points back to Jesus.

* Heart Transforming – Encourages true transformation that comes from the gospel.

* Family Driven – Our adults will be going over the same Bible passages that are being taught to the children in Mountain Movers Kids Ministry.

* Chronological Bible Study- Study the Bible in order, from Genesis to Revelation.

* Theologically Rich – All lessons are doctrinally sound.

* Missionally Minded – Calls participants to respond by sharing and living out the gospel.

Be Committed – Ruth/Esther

9:30AM
Location: Fellowship Hall 3
Teachers: Rick Culp, Ted Andrew & Don Aldrich

One was a foreigner and a peasant. The other, a reluctant queen to a man she hardly knew. But their stories have one thing in common: A remarkable faith committed to doing God’s will.

For both Ruth and Esther, God used stressful circumstances to bring about his eternal purposes. Ruth’s commitment to the God of Naomi affected every generation to come, as she became an ancestor of King David and more importantly, Jesus Christ. Esther’s obedience led to the preservation of her people at a moment in history when all seemed lost.

The stories of Ruth and Esther will make you contemplate: Would I trust God enough to do what they did?

The Book of Titus

10:45AM
Location: Adult Learning Center
Teachers: Larry Van Etten, Carl Garber, Paul Hartline & Irv Wenger

In this series, we will unpack the book of Titus. We will be challenged to display the gospel in our lives through doing good. We do good works not to earn God’s favor, but as a result of God’s favor. When the gospel has truly taken root in our lives, it produces the fruit of godliness. As we pass these things on to future generations, the Church stands in bright contrast to the darkness of the world.
