Sundays from 10 - 10:45 a.m.
Sunday School is a continuation of our common life in worship — a time to know and to be known, to learn and to pray, and to attend ever more closely to what God is doing among us at Blacknall and in the world. No registration is needed and classes are open to all, including visitors. Look for a deacon wearing a bright red vest if you need help locating a class.
Summer 2026 Sunday School Class Schedule
Classes start May 31
Adult Classes
The Communion of Cinema
Location: Fellowship Hall
How can movies deepen our faith, strengthen our love for others, and shape how we see the world? In The Communion of Cinema, we’ll examine films alongside Scripture, asking how they illustrate, comment on, or deepen Christian teachings and truths. We’ll discuss four levels of meaning to look for in movies, learn how filmmakers use images and sound to evoke meaning, and collaborate on a movie resource list for our church community. We may even watch some movies together! No background in film is necessary — whether you’re an avid moviegoer or a complete novice, this class will have something for you. This is the latest class in our “30s, 40s, & Friends” group.
Leaders: Lindsey Dunn, Warren Kinghorn, and Trigger Steinbrenner
Word Alive
Location: Community Room (Room 201)
The Gospels record that Jesus’ followers often “said to one another….” They listened to Jesus but also worked out what He meant among themselves. Our class does the same. Each week, we read a chapter of the Bible and come ready to discuss:
The main theme of the chapter
What God was like in that chapter
How we can apply those same ideas in our culture
This summer, we’ll conclude our study of 2 Peter and begin studying Revelation.
Leaders: Michael Whisenhunt and John Hamilton
Young Adult Fellowship
Location: Parlor (Room 215)
What does Christian faith look like in action? How does Christian discipleship affect the way we think about social status, wealth, and good works?
Join the Young Adult Fellowship this summer as we study the books of Proverbs and James, two books with much to say about these questions and more.
Leaders: Caleb Rolling and Daniel Ho
Growing in Grace
Location: Zoom and Room 404
Meet with current Blacknall members and brothers and sisters from other congregations. Together, we focus on in-depth study of the Bible with handouts, skits, and discussions. With a range of perspectives and experiences, our conversations transform us through a shared ministry of each other and with the Holy Spirit. This summer, the group will continue its study of the Gospel of Matthew.
Leader: Paul Immanuel
Youth + Teen Classes
Middle School
Location: Youth Room (Room G07, Ground Level)
Relationships in the New Testament Letters
We’ll consider what God teaches us about different kinds of relationships through four books of the Bible: Philippians, Galatians, 1 Peter, and James. Each week we read Scripture, discuss how it speaks to us, and look for ways to live out what we learn in class.
Leaders: Sarah Lapp, Sandra Hagood, Lauren Holahan, Brian Mitchell, and Serena Whisenhunt
High School
Location: Corner Room, Room 101
Read selections from the book of Job and wrestle with questions such as: Why is there suffering in the world? Is God just? Why is God sometimes silent?
Leaders: Kat Burgett, Dave Dunderdale, and Lucy Cate
