Adult Education

To fully know God in this life is to know Him through the Scriptures.

All adults -- young and seasoned -- are invited and encouraged to participate in Bible study at Immanuel. Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. — the Education Hour — is a great time for parents to engage in God’s Word while kids are engaged in their respective classes.  Tuesdays are also a great opportunity to study God’s Word.  Join us each week!

  • Digging Deep- Discipling

    Sundays at 9:30am | Room 201 (Immanuel, 2nd Floor) | Led by Raymond Monroe

    Jesus calls to us to be His disciples and characterizes us as disciples who love one another. What does it mean to be a disciple? Is being a disciple about my spiritual journey? We will explore some of the distortions identified in the book The Disciple Dilemma by Dennis Allen.

WEEKDAY BIBLE STUDIES

  • The Book of Revelation

    Tuesdays 9:30-10:30am | The Pointe Outreach Center | Led by Pastor Tieman | Beginning September 10

    God's revelation to John encourages Christians at every age and shows us that our victorious Lamb, who was slain, is worthy of honor and praise!  This study will explore the ultimate defeat of Satan and all the forces of evil, the confident hope believers have in their reigning Savior, and the final, glorious destiny of all those who trust in Jesus for salvation. This study meets at The Pointe Outreach Center (near Target in Crystal Lake).

  • The Gospel of Mark

    Every other Tuesday beginning September 10

    Many people who are great by the world’s standards or are in positions of authority lord their greatness over those they consider below them. But not our Lord Jesus. The Lord of heaven and earth took on the lowly form of a man to serve humanity and to sacrifice His life to ransom people from sin, death, and Satan. Come study the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark and learn of His servant heart, miraculous powers, and triumph won through His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection.

  • Women's Bible Study - Book of Romans

    Tuesdays 8:15-9:30am | The Well | Led by Laura Wrights | Meets every other week beginning September 17

    If there’s a gap between the ideal image in your head of the perfect mother, daughter, wife, sister, co-worker and the person you see in the mirror each day, welcome to the human race. Paul struggled with forces inside of him that longed for better and for worse simultaneously, and he wrote a letter to the Roman Christians to explain how we can never rise above this inner conflict on our own Here’s the good news - we don’t have to. You already know the answer is “Jesus”, but in Romans, Paul tells us both why and how Jesus is the only path to true freedom. This study meets every-other week.

  • Brews, Books and Brotherhood

    Tuesdays 7:00-8:30pm | Immanuel - Youth Room | Led by Pastor James Kirk | Meets every other Tuesday from October 15-December 10

    Men, grab your Bible and your favorite brew as we gather for Men’s Ministry this fall. Our focus will be “He who dies with the most toys still dies”, and the bi-weekly group meeting topics are Identity, Significance, Accomplishments, Legacy and Who’s Taking Care of Whose Stuff? This study meets every-other week through December 10.
