Learning and Growing Together
Our goal at HCC is to make Adult Sunday School the place that everyone wants to be for an hour each Sunday morning. Every quarter we will offer a variety of courses designed to appeal to both new or longtime participants. We invite you to visit a class or two each session, then make a commitment to attend for the remaining weeks. It is our hope that we will all increase in knowledge, mature in faith and grow in fellowship.

Adult Sunday School Classes
Toward the Promised Land: A Journey Through the Wilderness
Feb 17 - Mar 24 Room 211
Facilitators: Mary Etta Gale, Karen Carson
The Gospel Project for Adults takes men and women on a chronological, Christ-centered journey through the storyline of Scripture. God had delivered His people out of slavery in Egypt through His powerful works. But in this session, we will see that the people forgot what they had seen, they lost sight of God’s power, and they doubted and grumbled when they became hungry in the wilderness. We will see that we are not much different from the people of Israel: We too are prone to forget the promises of God; we are prone to wander from the Lord, even when He has proven Himself to be good and faithful. We will learn of God’s great faithfulness despite our faithlessness and why He allows His children to go through trials and tribulations.
Boundaries: When to Say Yes, When to Say No
Feb 17 - Mar 24 Room 221
Facilitators: Carmen Vlahos, Cassandra Johnson, Denise Woodward
Are you in control of your life? Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limits and limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: Can I set limits and still be a loving person? How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries? Based on the Gold Medallion Award-winning book and New York Times bestseller, this 6-week series will give you biblically based answers to these and other tough questions, and show you how to set healthy boundaries with your parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even with yourself. You’ll discover firsthand how sound boundaries give you the freedom to walk as the loving, giving, fulfilled individual God created you to be.
