Adult Discipleship Classes:
Adult Discipleship Classes:
- The Last Temple: This class will briefly trace the history and meaning of the Temple as it points to our Lord. We will also discover why the Lord commanded that the temples be built in the first place. We will then examine the prophetic patterns and pictures of the Temples in the past, as current preparations are being made to rebuild the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem in the hear future. This will be the last Temple to be built before our Lord's return. We will end our class looking at the Millennial Temple from Ezekiel that will be used during our Lord's reign on the earth and how each of us will be involved at that time. It might surprise people to realize that everything going on in our world today politically and religiously are connected to the coming Temple. This may be the most relevant Bible class you could have in this hour. Don't miss this exciting class that will tie everything in life and the Bible together for every disciple. Taught by Pastor Jeff Carlson in the Sanctuary
- The Patterns Class: The western view of prophecy is like prediction. Something is stated and then it comes about. The Jewish view of prophecy is that of patterns. Patterns that repeat become prophetic in that they testify to future events. Many of those prophetic patterns have been fulfilled and many have yet to be fulfilled. This class will have fun learning to recognize and explore those patterns in the passages suggested by the discussion leader and participants alike. Each week will be unique as we look at one or two new passages. So come and go as you please; you will never be behind in our studies. "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings." Teacher/Discussion Leader: Rich Dausman in Classroom 8
- Drawing Out the Truths of the Scripture: The Expository Preaching of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: This class will feature the expository preaching of David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981), Welsh Bible scholar, medical doctor, and pastor. You will discover that Lloyd-Jones' sermons are as relevant for our world today as they were decades ago. For almost 30 years, Dr. Lloyd-Jones was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London. He is the author of many Bible commentaries and other materials. He is considered by many evangelical leaders today to be an authority on biblical truth and the sufficiency of Scripture. Discussion Leader: Alan Kieda in Classroom 6

- Senior High (Grades 9-12):Truth matters. Our conception of it determines who we are and how we behave. Here at Oakhill, we educate our youth with Biblical truths to equip the against the tide of relativism or postmodernism. As a guide to help our youth stand strong in the face of today's culture, we will be using the book of Proverbs to bring wisdom and truth to all the students. We will be studying the Lord's wisdom and contrast it with the foolishness of the world. We hope that our discussions will firm up our youths' spiritual foundations and help transform them into passionate followers of Christ. Taught by Tom Broughton
- Junior High: (Grades 6 to 8): Our class will continue this Spring using our time together to study foe Gospel of John. Each week we will go in depth into the passage to discover the significance of Jesus' earthly ministry. We will look at key issues for junior high students meant to ground them in their understanding of who Jesus is, what He did, what He taught and most importantly what difference it makes to us. We'll be using our study guide to answer the main question of the week with the help of some PowerPoint and media materials to make the most of our time. together. Taught by Dianne Carlson
- Elementary Grades (Grades 3 to 5): Our goal in this class will be to get the children excited about the greatness of the Lord. The class will focus on letting the children know that our great Lord is their Lord and that He has given Himself for them in the Lord Jesus Christ. To accomplish this, the class will study the key Bible stories so they can see the greatness of the Lord and His love for them. The class will equip every student to learn these basic Bible stories so they can have a strong foundation on which to build an grow their life as a young disciple. Taught by Doug & Ginger Suess
- Young Ones (4 yrs - 2nd Grade): This class will help the children to apply the lessons learned in Biblical stories to their own life. They will also learn to watch for God in their daily experiences and will share their God sightings each week. The children will learn to pray and to share their faith with their family. This is a great place for any child to start their exposure to the Lord’s Word and His Church. Taught by Keith & Kim VanLoozennoord
- Nursery (Infants - 3 years): During the Discipleship Hour we have nursery care. Staffed by Pat Price
- Nursery: Our Nursery is a year-round program staffed by loving Oakhill parents and volunteers.
- Junior. Church- 4 yrs - 1st grade: To reinforce their church school classes, as well as to help the children better understand worship, a special program has been developed called Junior Church. Junior Church is designed for children ages 4 through 1st grade. Children who participate in this program will be excused from the adult service during the offertory. This ministry has been a wonderful way for children to grow into the worshiping community, as well as giving parents an opportunity for more freedom and focus on their own worship time. Parents are asked to please pick up their children immediately after worship.
