Classes
Adelphia classes are focused on both knowing God through Scripture and responding to His word with our lives
Being a disciple of Jesus requires both knowledge and obedience. To follow Jesus, we need to first know what He says. This is the first element of discipleship that Adelphia’s classes are founded upon, knowing God’s Word. Our classes are designed to help our students know and understand Scripture more fully. That’s why we spend the majority of our time learning from teachers about what God’s Word says in both the Old and New Testaments. If the bible is God’s Word’s to us for life, we better know what it says.
The second foundational piece to being a disciple of Jesus is the ability to take God’s word and respond to it with our lives. In other words, obey it. Our classes do not focus on building an academic knowledge of God, rather they elicit a call to respond. Learning at Adelphia is practical in nature instead of just academic. You probably won’t write any long term papers in class, but you will graduate fully equipped to serve God’s purpose in our world as you learn to apply his commands. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Deuteronomy 8:3

Biblical Themes and Topics
Most of our classes contain expository teaching from individual books of the Bible, but we also look at biblical themes and topics that are found woven throughout Scripture. Every year we rotate between different biblical books and topics in order to keep the classroom setting fresh for returning students.
