Single Adult Classes

Classes meet at 9:40 a.m. on Sunday mornings. We encourage you to try on several classes until you find the right fit. Although general age ranges are given, people of all ages are welcome to participate in any class.

Wilshire encourages and equips singles to grow their Christian ministry through a dynamic personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ. Pursuing discipleship through Bible study, spiritual development and fellowship helps singles identify their calling and gifts and take active roles in carrying out their mission. Christian singles are valued as members and leaders in all areas of Wilshire's ministry. 

At Wilshire it isn't one-size-fits-all. Most classes, except where noted, include both men and women, couples and singles. Although general age ranges are given, people of all ages are welcome to participate in any class.

One class is designated just for singles:

Horizons - Room 3203
Singles from thirty-something to sixty-something gather in Horizons for a variety of topical studies. Class director is Dee Anne Bostic. The class features a rotation of teachers and study topics. Singles from various backgrounds and of different ages add to the lively discussions.

Listed below are some of the classes that are particularly "mixed" with singles and couples: 

Aspen - Room 2370
Open to men of all ages, this class currently includes men in their 40s and 50s—some married, some single. Informal teacher-led discussions follow a standard curriculum. Discussion centers on biblical truths and how to apply them to daily life. Directed by Byron McCoy and Scott Powell.

Avodah - Community Hall Room 311
"Avodah" is a Hebrew word meaning both “work” and “worship.” Singles and couples, mainly in their 30s, discuss how to bridge the gap between Sunday worship and Monday living. Topics are selected by the class and have ranged from examining a theology of money, to the theology of U2 and often include video segments. Teachers are Alan Wright and Andrew Warden.

Cord of Three - Room 3308
Couples and singles, mainly in their 50s, share a vision for developing caring relationships, participating in stimulating Bible study and lively discussion, and welcoming members and visitors alike. The class takes its name from Ecclesiastes 4:12: “Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” The class is directed by Jerilynn Armstrong.

Circle of Women - Room 3201
Women ranging in age from 40s to 60s gather for a prayer-centered class where learning from each other and ministering to each other are valued. Women of all ages are welcome, as are women of all stages of life. Led by Talitha Kiwiet and Bettye Collins and taught by Linda Garner and Micki Lacker, the class enjoys lively discussions built around a standard Sunday School curriculum.

Discovery - Room 1205L
Taught by Associate Pastor Mark Wingfield, Discovery Class is an easy entry point for anyone new to Wilshire or new to adult Sunday School. This is an open enrollment class, meaning class participants include both regular members and frequent visitors from other classes who want to engage in specific studies. Lessons are arranged in blocks around books of the Bible or biblical topics of interest. Recent studies have focused on Revelation, heaven and world religions. Discovery is a no-threat class where you’ll never be called on to read or pray aloud or feel out of place because of your level of biblical knowledge.

Epiphany - Room 3208
Couples and singles in their 40s and 50s, many with children in high school or college, engage in robust discussion of biblical topics presented by a variety of teachers. This is a class where you’re sure to have an occasional epiphany, if you’re open to discussion and considering new ideas. The class is directed by Steve and Lu Terry.

FaithPlus - Community Hall Room 306/308
Married and single adults, mainly in their 20s, find friendship, community, biblical knowledge and commitment to serve others while hanging out together. This class offers frequent and varied fellowship opportunities, ranging from campouts to dinners, and is active in mission causes. The class is directed by Paige Pendery and taught by Steve Brookshire. Join the FaithPlus Facebook page.

Labyrinth - Community Hall

Mosaic - Community Hall Room 303
“Come As You Are” is the theme for this blended class of single parents and couples with children. Common bonds are authenticity, acceptance and a willingness to hold the hands of members in need. Most members are early 40s to mid-50s with elementary to high school children. The class is taught by a rotation of members from within the class and covers a wide range of topics from biblical history to today’s headlines. Directed by Melody Loggins.
