 BIBLE STUDY
The education ministry of Winterville First Baptist believes Sunday School
(Bible study) is a strategy to lead people to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and to build on-mission Christians by engaging people in evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry and worship through ongoing, evangelistic
Bible study units in an atmosphere of compassion where the gospel can be shared. We believe each person must decide and make a commitment to put into practice what we know to be true.
Winterville uses the LifeWay Family
Bible Study series curriculum of the Southern Baptist Convention. The Family
Bible Series is an age graded Bible study approach that provides a selection of age-appropriate learner guides based on the same scripture passage.
Each lesson is planned around a biblical worldview and uses comprehensive, balanced, and appropriately sequenced study of Bible books, people, doctrine, history and classic Bible passages.
Our curriculum is closely graded for preschoolers, children, youth and adults.

ADULTS
We believe in studying God's Word and that it is a privilege to share what we learn in class with
all people in our surrounding area longing to know Jesus Christ. We invite you to join us each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Friendly faces will greet you at the doors and will assist you in finding the best class for you and your family.
In the adult area the curriculum is 
- Life Answers for ages 18-30

We offer many more age graded classes to select from and occasionally offer elective classes. There is a class for you if you are a newly-wed or a senior adult.
YOUTH
Winterville agrees with LifeWay
Youth Sunday School statements. "Student Sunday School is more than music, donuts, and Bible study. It's a lifestyle extending beyond the classroom. It's about connecting - relating a Sunday morning Bible lesson with a Monday morning decision. Its' learning to imitate Christ by serving others outside our comfort zone. It's about commitment - determined to stand strong even when no
one is watching. It's knowing what's right is not always what's easiest."
Winterville is using the Fuel curriculum. Fuel: Igniting New Life with God's
Word. It is a DVD and discussion-driven curriculum. Come get fueled up for next week.
PRE-TEEN
Six graders (or pre-teen) study a curriculum designed only for them
called "Everything You Need to Know to Be a Teenager". It is an entire year's
worth of Bible study that helps 6th graders move from Bible stories to
life-changing studies, as they prepare for the teen years.. This is a DVD curriculum that appeals to this age
group.
CHILDREN
Winterville agrees with LifeWay Children's Sunday School statements. "Children's Sunday School is more than an hour of Bible study at church. It's the foundation to support a child's life. It's about beginnings--starting to recognize the Bible as more than just a book carried to church. It's learning to respond to others with attitudes and actions of love and respect."
"It's discovering a conscience - knowing what's right and wrong based on what the Bible says. It's believing that when you pray, God is listening. Most importantly, its about learning to love others because God first loved us."
The Children's curriculum is for Grades 1-5.
PRESCHOOL
Winterville agrees with LifeWay Preschool Sunday School statements. "Preschool Sunday School is more than cookies, crafts, and puzzles. It's where the groundwork is laid for a simple, emerging faith. It's about exploring - tasting, touching, moving, and watching an
ever-expanding world. It's discovering captivating Bible stories about God's people and His special love for them. It's about questions - "Who is God?"..."Where is heaven?" and "What is church?" Most importantly, it's knowing that you are fearfully and wonderfully made and treasured by God."
Winterville has classes for Bed-babies, Crawlers, Ones, Two's, Three's, Four's and Kindergarten.
