Welcome to the Hibben Adult Ministry Page

The Herbert-Way-Arms Class

Over the years, three of the oldest classes (The Thomas Herbert Class, the Aurie Way Class and the Daisy Arms Class) have joined together to form the combined Herbert-Way-Arms class.  We are a discussion and teacher led class, studying the Adult International Bible Series. Our group consists of adults over the age of sixty. “Mature Christian” best describes this group, who have all been the backbone of our church for many years.  Our group is strongly active in our church circle.  We are dedicated to serving others and are committed to our church. This class meets in the Barton wing, Room 117,  next to the chapel.

The Seekers Class

The Seekers class is "the Sunday School class for people who usually don't like to go to Sunday school" and are seeking an alternative to rigidly structured lesson plans. The Seekers Class offers adults of all ages the opportunity to discuss a wide range of contemporary and traditional Christian issues in a comfortable, accepting atmosphere. The common thread among class members is a belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ and a desire to discuss (and maybe even disagree with) topics relating to our basic Christian beliefs, our denomination's precepts and how we live them, concerns about our community and our world, issues regarding our families and our kids, how they see and interact with each other and regular Bible-based lessons. Outside activities include weekend retreats, families at christmas plus purely social events throughout year. Come, participate, listen, learn and enjoy. They meet in the conference room adjacent to the office area.

The Joe Taylor Class

If you’ve ever stopped by the library before Sunday School, then you’ve probably met some of the members of the Joe Taylor class. They’re the ones serving coffee and doughnuts every Sunday! This 50 + age group has teacher led lessons using the International Adult Bible Study Series. New comers are always welcome.  Our class members are an extension of our own families.  We also sell coffee in the library each Sunday and use the proceeds for various needs in the Church. They meet in room 113 in the Barton Wing. This class was previously known as the  Charlie McCann Class.

The Faith Builders Class

Faith Builders’ Class is composed of members age 50 and over, who enjoy one another in Christian fellowship.  We begin our class singing hymns, followed by class discussion by teacher-members using the Adult International Bible Series.  Join us for singing, group discussion of the scriptures, and a journey promoting Christian growth. This class was previously named The Harris DuBois Class. We meet in the Barton wing, Room 115.

The Crusaders Class

Crusaders class is composed of singles and couples who range in age from upper thirties through fifty-something who are committed to supporting one another through prayer, love, and laughter. Weekly fellowship includes a constantly updated prayer list of personal concerns and lively discussions of the Bible. The class holds monthly collections of goods and money for charities identified by class members, such as ECCO, Windwood Farm, the Ronald McDonald House, and local schools. Members also meet quarterly for social fellowship, such as dinner out or Putt-Putt. The class meets upstairs at the top of the stairs and to the left. 

The Revelations Class

A relatively new class with many members whom are newlyweds, new parents, or new members. This group has a fun time worshipping and studying topics related to their lives and interests. They have a lot to share with each other as they seek to grow their faith and biblical knowledge. Adults of all ages are welcome. So for a fun and casual approach to Sunday School, they invite you to give them a look!.

The Genesis Class

This is a fun-loving class whose members range from the thirties and up. The class uses group discussion format and alternates between study of Biblical life application and topical, contemporary issues. Class leadership is on a rotating basis and is done mainly by moderating discussion. Outside of class, the group enjoys campouts, cookouts, local sporting events, and serving together at the Gathering and mission projects. In addition, the Genesis class supports missions within the church and "community through its gifts and service. The class meets upstairs in the education wing at the end of the hall. Turn right at the top of the stairs and you’ll find them in the room at the end of the hall.

Disciple Classes

Hibben conducts Disciple classes each year. Each of the classes offers a disciplined, challenging and very rewarding journey into the Biblical texts. It is for those members who are serious about Bible study and are curious about what the Bible really says.

The Disciple I class is a survey of the whole Bible from Genesis through Revelation and will begin in January. A sign-up form has been placed in the church office.

The Disciple II class, for those who have completed Disciple I, focuses on in-depth study of Genesis/Exodus and Luke/Acts. Interested participants need to contact the church office for additional information.

Primetimers

This group (formerly FAO) plans exciting activities for adults of all ages that take advantage of South Carolina's abounding attractions, including progressive dinners, luncheons, community events, day-trips, and week-end trips.

The Primetimers are now meeting at Hibben in the CL&LC for lunch and often a program or other activity on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Some lunches will be covered dish, some will be catered, some will not. Programs will vary depending on who and what we can schedule. At the very least, Primetimers will get together for fellowship and to catch up on the latest news around Hibben.  Watch your bulletins, eNewsletter and newsletter for news about each month’s program.
