The education program at Good Shepherd includes Bible classes and Bible studies for all ages from children to adults.  We believe that a good Bible education program is important for all members to gain a better understanding of God's Word, the Bible, God's love for us, and how to live for Him.

Children's Bible Education

Sunday School


Through Bible Stories, crafts and song, children ages 3-12 learn of God's love for us throughout the ages, highlighted in Jesus's death and resurrection. It is extremely important for children to have a moral basis from which they can face the challenges the world lays before them. Sunday School gives your children that basis.  SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETS EVERY SUNDAY MORNING AT 9:15 A.M.  Classes are broken down according to age groups.  Beginning January 6, 2008 through March 16, 2008 Sunday School will begin at 10:15 A.M.
Confirmation Classes
 This class for 7-9th graders is designed to give young people a knowledge of God and His Will as they enter their high school years. Upon completion of this 2-year instruction, they are also eligible to receive Holy Communion. CONFIRMATION CLASS MEETS ON WEDNESDAYS AT 3:30 PM.
Vacation Bible School
 Every summer, Good Shepherd hosts a week-long Vacation Bible School. In this fun five-morning session, children ages preschool through 6th grade will make great crafts, hear God's Word, play games with new friends, and eat delicious snacks as they learn about Jesus and His love. VBS for 2006 will be held on four Saturdays in July.




  
Train a child in the ways he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.  Proverbs 22:6


Adult Bible Education
Sunday Morning
Bible Class
 Pastor Mueller teaches an adult Bible class.  It is a lecture/discussion session of various topics of the Bible and how it relates to our every day lives.   Join the class at 9:15 on Sunday Morning and learn more about the Bible.  Beginning January 6, 2008 through March 16, 2008, adult Bible class will begin at 10:15 am.
Small Group
Bible Studies

Small Group Bible Study meets every other week.  In 2006, we have four small group studies--Livermore (Wednesday), Discovery Bay (Wednesday), Tracy (Thursday), and Livermore (Thursday Morning).  They discuss various Bible topics and learn how to answers some of the hard questions about life through studying the Bible.  See Pastor for more information and the current schedule.
               

Bible Information Class
 The Bible Information Class is held twice or three times a year, depending on the demand.  The BIC is designed to help you find out what the Bible teaches in a simple, down-to-earth method! Pastor Mueller tackles each major topic with what the Bible teaches about it and how different churches have come to different conclusions about the same topic. Then, you can decide for yourself which church is right for you.  Classes meet once a week for about 16-18 weeks. Babysitting can be arranged if needed. Class is not just lecture, but a time in which you can participate as much or as little as you like. If you believe there is a God, but don't know much about Him, you owe it to yourself (and to God) to come to the BIC.


But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 
To him be glory both now and forever!  Amen    II Peter 3:18
