Course Descriptions for Quarter 4 (September 17 to November 19)
Biblical Church Leadership
The goal of this seminar is to equip our church to know and articulate what the Bible says about church leadership by primarily exploring titled leadership of the church, how all believers (men, women and children) fit into the conversation of leadership, the similarities and difference with leadership in our culture today (including the abusive leadership trends permeating Christian churches), and what every church member's responsibility is for current and future leadership—the future of our church is at stake!
Denominations in American History
This seminar will explore the origin and reason behind the 6 major Protestant denominations. Key similarities and differences will be identified to better appreciate and understand others (both believers and unbelievers) in our communities as to their faith and practice.
- Those taking this seminar will be able to better articulate and appreciate the key similarities between the denominations and Grace Church of Mentor as well as key differences.
- Those taking this seminar will be better able to understand and explain to those we disciple and evangelize why Grace Church of Mentor is a non-denominational church.
Biblical Manhood
The Bible is replete with instruction regarding biblical manhood, its obligations, and opportunities. The objective of this class is to convey New Testament instruction on biblical manhood and its absolute vital significance to the function of our homes, our local church, and the effective, efficient spread of the gospel in our community and world.
A Biblical Theology of Finance
The goal of this seminar is to equip our church to know and articulate what the Bible says about money primarily by exploring the biblical concept of stewardship with special emphasis on applying biblical concepts to the management of our homes and maintenance of our worship practices. This seminar is a good reminder for the knowledgeable Christian as well as an introduction to the newer believer on God’s perspective and expectations of money management.
Book of Revelation, Part 1
Our study of the Book of Revelation will focus on the revelation of Jesus Christ in all His glory, bringing to a faithful conclusion the perfect plan which He laid out before creating the earth. While we will help to clarify the various characters, events, signs and symbols, our goal is to grow in our understanding of the nature and character of Jesus, His faithfulness to believers and the nation of Israel, the necessity of faith as we grow in our confidence to endure through trials with eternity in view.
Evangelism & Making Disciples
As a believer it’s good to think in two veins: who I am in Christ and what I do for Christ. This second concern is the concern of this seminar. Unlike our Old Testament counterparts who found the answer of “doing” in fulfilling covenant obligations, we in the church find the answer of “doing” in a new way of life! This life is life eternal, a life that ends in flourishing. Come join us as we refresh our thinking into the why, what and how of this new lifestyle Jesus Christ insists we embrace.
- Students will be able to articulate strategies of life style exemplified by Jesus’ life.
- Students will be able to explain why "trellis work" must never overtake "vine work" in the life of Grace Church of Mentor.

Course Descriptions from Quarter 3 (July 2 to September 10)
Biblical Womanhood
We will be addressing the topic of biblical womanhood by examining from Scripture the lives of twelve women of the Bible with some specific objectives in mind:
- To introduce God’s doxological design for women
- To discover how the fall affected that design
- To learn how God shaped and used these twelve women for His eternal plans and purposes
- To respond personally by submitting to:
- God’s design in our own lives—salvation
- God’s transforming process—sanctification
- God’s Great Commission purposes—service through the local church (edification of the body, gospel advancement, discipleship)
Course Descriptions from Quarter 2 (March 19 to June 25)
Book of Daniel
As we study the Book of Daniel together, we will examine the sovereignty of God in the affairs of men, the proper response of His servants, and the escatalogical themes pertaining to the nation Israel.
Educational Choices
An important decision facing every family is where their children (young, adolescent, and young adult) will be educated. Using a biblical approach, this seminar will survey education in the Bible as well as the options available to families today. By the end of this seminar, one should be able to understand the importance of learning environments (home, church, and community), recognize the pros and cons of different educational options (Christian day school, homeschool, private school, and public school), and the need for parents to wisely discern what is best for each of their children both academically and spiritually.
Making Disciples: A Biblical Perspective
As a believer it’s good to think in two veins. It is good for us to think about who I am in Christ and what I do for Christ. This second concern is the concern of this seminar. Unlike our Old Testament counterparts who found the answer of “doing” in fulfilling covenant obligations, we in the church find the answer of “doing” in a new way of life! This life is life eternal, a life that ends in flourishing. Come join us as we refresh our thinking into the why, what and how of this new lifestyle Jesus Christ insists we embrace.
- Students will be able to articulate strategies of life style exemplified by Jesus’ life.
- Students will be able to explain why "trellis work" must never overtake "vine work" in the life of Grace Church of Mentor.
Course Descriptions from Quarter 1 (January 8 to March 12)
Book of Galatians
An expositional study through Paul's letter to the Galatians.
Women's Study through 2 Peter
This women's seminar will be a paragraph-by-paragraph study of the three chapters of the New Testament book of 2 Peter. After taking this seminar, ladies should better understand the nature of the true knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, the presence of false teachers in the church, and how to diligently apply themselves to the Word of God to ensure growth in discernment between the pseudo-knowledge of false teachers and the true knowledge of Christ as they mature toward the anticipation of His coming.
