School of Life & Doctrine
School of Life & Doctrine (SOLD) is our Christian education ministry for all ages. Historically, we’ve held this time on Sunday evenings in various places throughout the city. However, as of this fall (2023), we are hosting SOLD on Sunday mornings at the Dallas Children’s Theater, including classes for kids, youth, and adults.
Fall 2023
SOLD classes will meet Sept 10 – Dec 17, from 9-9:50am
ADULTS
This fall, our adult class will be going through a brand new “new member” booklet, written by our staff. We will walk through the foundations of what it means to be a member of Christ’s church, the history of our particular church, and more! The booklets will be available at the bulletin table. Please take one per family.
YOUTH
This fall, we start a new long-term teaching plan for RYF! In our dedicated teaching times, the youth at New St. Peter’s will work through the topics of Basic Bible (Old and New Testament), Apologetics, Spiritual Disciplines, and Christian History. Based on what we’ve studied in previous years, this year we will look at Spiritual Disciplines. All middle and high school students are welcome to join us as we look at the topic of prayer!
3rd-5th Grade
This class will be going through the New City Catechism curriculum. Our hope is to equip them to have an understanding of sound theology and to live it out in their lives. The children will engage the content through lessons, memorization, activities, and discussion.
1st-2nd Grade
Our younger elementary students will spend their year going through the Gospel Story Bible curriculum with a focus on the Old Testament. Our goal is for students in these grades to spend a year in the Old Testament and a year in the New Testament so that they have a great understanding and foundation of the Bible to take with them as they grow in their relationship with the Lord. Children will engage the content through Bible study, activities, crafts, and memory work.
Pre-K/Kinder
This class will be going through the Jesus Storybook Bible. Our time together will include playtime, singing, a Bible lesson, craft, and Bible memory work.
2-3 year olds
This class will have a lesson each week from the Beginners Gospel Story Bible. Children will spend their time in class reading through a Bible story, participating in music time, crafts, and playtime together.
Toddlers (15-30 months)
This class will be going through different biblically based picture books each month to learn different truths about God. The children will also have playtime, crafts, and music.
Nursery (0-15 months)
Our goal in this room is to provide a safe place for your child to play while you attend the adult classes. We will have music, toys, and books to occupy our little ones.
