Children's Bible Study - further information
Since 2010, the Children's Ministries team has hosted Children's Bible Studies with an emphasis on the Adventist doctrines and the sole purpose of preparing young candidates for baptism.
Today, we run the following Bible Study classes all in our Church building.
| Class Name | Age Range | Date and Time | Material Used | Comments |
| Beginners | 7 - 10 |
5:00 pm to 5:30pm 2nd & 4th Saturday each month. |
Michael Asks Why |
A class for children this young is being trialled for the first time. The Michael Asks Why material (based on the Great Controversy) is also being evaluated. This is after discovering the real interest in Bible study from a few young children in this age group. |
| Progressors | 10 - 16 |
4:00pm to 5:00pm Every Saturday afternoon before Adventurers or Pathfinders |
It's My Choice |
This is the core Children's Bible study group aimed at older children who are on the road of preparation for Baptism. The It's My Choice study material covers all the foundational doctrinal principles of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in a clear and easy to understand format. The material has been used successfully in previous iterations of Bible Study. |
| Progressors | 10 - 16 |
7:00pm to 8:00pm Every Friday evening |
It's My Choice | A separate session is being run on Friday evenings for a handful of children that can't make Saturday afternoons in Church. |
| Disciples | 10 - 16 | 4:00pm to 5:00pm
Every Saturday afternoon before Adventurers or Pathfinders |
Steps to Christ |
The Disciples class is for a number of children who progressed through the It's My Choice material and were baptized in December 2013. Their on-going study material is a chapter each week or two of the acclaimed Steps to Christ book written by Ellen G White. |
