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 9:30am. 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.
Our Current Adult Bible Fellowships:
Ruth & Esther
9:30AM
Location: ALC-A
Teachers: Carl Martin & Ray Rambo
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?
Verse-By-Verse through the Book of Acts
9:30AM
Location: ALC-B
Teacher: Dan Scheuerlein
Join us as we study verse-by-verse through the book of Acts. Acts is a powerful book of the Bible that gives us insight into the early church. We will look at how the Holy Spirit impacted the early church. We will look at early church believers and their response to Jesus. We will also look at the struggles early missionaries faced as they sought to grow the church. We hope you will join us in this study!
God Never Gives Up On You – A Character Study On Jacob
Time: 9:30AM
Location: Fellowship Hall 1
Teachers: Larry Van Etten, Paul Hartline, Irv Wenger, & Carl Garber
Ever wonder if you’ve stumbled one too many times for God to use someone like you? Could you benefit from an encounter with God’s unending, unbending, unswerving love and devotion?
If your answer is yes, it’s time for you to see how God’s grace transformed Jacob’s life. And if you feel undeserving of God’s grace, this series will serve as a refresher course on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things.
God Never Gives Up On You is for the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel; we mean well, but we don’t always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures. But where can we find examples of God’s steadfast grace? Come find out.
Never Quit: 5 Prayer Lessons From Luke 18:1-8

Teachers: Joe Finkey, Curt Stoltzfus, Kyle Kauffman, Errin Mulberry & Matt Meservy
9:30AM
Location: FH-3
Teachers: Don Aldrich, Ted Andrew, Rick Culp, & Doug Finkbeiner
9:30AM
Location: Gym
Teachers: Andy Musser, Nelson Yoder, Matt Meservy, Errin Mulberry
In a short but powerful parable found in Luke 18:1-8, Jesus uses the persistence of a desperate widow to open our minds to the awesome love and sovereignty of God. In Never Quit, you will learn five powerful truths that will transform your prayer life.
Jesus knows what we’ve been through and he knows what’s ahead. He knows how easy it will be for us to give up. And so in kindness, he offers us a way out; or perhaps to say it a better way, he offers us a way through. He teaches us how to never quit.
FOUND: God’s Will

Location: Fellowship Hall 4
Teachers: Tyler Noel, Josh Sensenig, Ethan Cornwell

Why is it so difficult to figure out God’s will for my life?

Throughout the study, we will learn 6 powerful principles that will give us confidence and direction, fill us with purpose, and give us the confidence to live in step with God’s plan. This study will go through the month of August in our Young Adults Class.
Upcoming Adult Bible Fellowships
David’s Heart Revealed – A Study in 2nd Samuel
Time: 9:30AM
Location: Fellowship Hall 2
Teachers: Errin Mulberry, Joe Finkey, Curt Stoltzfus, Matt Meservy & Kyle Kauffman
Start Date: 9/13/26
David is known as Israel’s greatest king, but he was not a super-hero. He had to fight many battles to establish his throne, and when he did become king, he committed murder, adultery, and brought disaster on his family. He was a man with human failings, yet he was also a man after God’s own heart. David depended on God’s grace for forgiveness when he stumbled—the same grace that is available to us today.
In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide us through an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with David’s struggle to establish his throne, continuing through his sin and repentance, and concluding with the tragic rebellion of his son Absalom.
The Gospel Project for Adults – 1 Kings, 2 Kings, Jonah, Hosea, Etc.
Time: 9:30AM
Location: Gym
Teachers: Nelson Yoder, Andy Musser, Errin Mulberry, & Matt Meservy
Start Date: 9/13/26
This chronological, Christ-centered Bible study will help you turn the gospel story into a gospel culture and motivate participants to mission at home and around the world. The benefit to this group is that we will be studying the same scripture that our children’s ministry is studying during their Sunday School hour. This gives parents incredible insight to what their kids are learning as well as tools to continue teaching their children at home. Even if you aren’t a parent, you’ll enjoy learning about some of these key Bible books that are often overlooked.
Luke – Pt 1
Time: 9:30AM
Location: Fellowship Hall 1
Teachers: Larry Van Etten, Irv Wenger, Paul Hartline & Carl Garber
Start Date: 9/13/26
How Do You Respond to Jesus? Who is Jesus of Nazareth, and what does he ask of us? For help answering these questions, we can turn to Luke’s orderly account of Jesus’s life and ministry—the Gospel of Luke. In this eleven-session series, we will walk through the first half of Luke’s Gospel, highlighting who Jesus is, what he did, and how the people around him responded. Luke shows us that Jesus is the savior who came to seek and save people in need, including us—and we must decide how to respond when he lovingly moves toward us.
Christ In All Of Scripture – Women’s ABF
Time: 9:30AM
Location: Fellowship Hall 6
Teachers: Sharon Shearer & Tasha Donaldson
Start Date: 9/13/26

This ABF will be led by Sharon Shearer, Natasha Donaldson and Bev Tolbert. This warm, multi-generational class welcomes women of all ages to grow in faith, build friendships, and encourage one another as we learn together. Whether you are widowed, single, new to the church, or simply looking for connection, there is a place for you here!
#Gospel
Time: 9:30AM
Location: Fellowship Hall 4
Teachers: Tyler Noel, Josh Sensenig, Ethan Cornwell, & Matt Meservy
Start Date: 9/27/26
Five to ten seconds… After that, the filter kicks in.
In our day and age, five to ten seconds is usually all the time we’re given to persuade someone that what we have to say is worthy of his or her time. You and I live in a world suffering from a relentless bombardment of information. Television, social media, advertising, acquaintances, friends, and family all vie for time and an attentive ear. If we don’t adapt and learn to filter out what we believe does not apply to us, we quickly become overwhelmed. In this new world of burst communication, our presentation of the Gospel needs to be adapted as well, and while it’s critically important that the content remain unchanged, the style and vehicle in which it is delivered must fit the culture it reaches. Through current cultural references and true stories, Daniel Rice, founder of #Gospel, will help us come to see the gospel for what it really is and how it can radically alter our everyday lives. Rice invites us into the conversation as he breaks down Paul’s explanation of the gospel in Romans in a way that is accessible and engaging. Hash-tagging (#) a term invites others to join an open conversation and adds the author’s thoughts to our modern-day global exchange of ideas. This is the heart of #Gospel.
