Adult Discipleship

Discipleship is a key element to our shared life together at Seaside. We believe that God is not content only to save us, but desires to shape us into Kingdom people. One of the ways we seek to accomplish this is through our Discipleship and Spiritual Formation ministries and opportunities. From Bible Studies to retreats, spiritual exercises to group discussions, we offer a range of ways that enable you to deepen your faith as you seek to understand the love of God in order to share the love of God.

Adult Sunday School

Cross Talkers
9:30 AM in Room 210

Beginning on September 7, the Cross-talkers class will begin a 13-week study entitled, “God is ‘All’ That.’” Using the Adult Bible Class quarterly guides, the fall study is divided into three sub-sections: God is Always Present, God is All Knowing, and God is All-Powerful. Led by co-teachers Joe Staton and Barb and Keith Duclos, each class involves a healthy dose of class discussions around the Biblical topics explored that week as well as applications in today’s world. This class meets in room 210 at 9:30 am every Sunday.

The Faith Journeys Adult Bible Study Class will begin a new study on January 4, 2026. We will study the Old Testament book of Esther.

Are you weary from your challenges, wounded by your battles, or worried your world seems out of control? Have the struggles pilfered the life out of your life? If so, this book of Esther brings welcome news that God hasn't forgotten you.

In this video-based Bible study, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado will help you reclaim your eternal identity as a citizen of heaven, put your hope in the God of grand reversals, cultivate courage for your challenging times, and discover your role in God's story.

This 5 week study includes:

• 5 sessions covering the Old Testament book of Esther

• video to accompany each session

• individual access to 5 streaming videos

• daily personal study for deeper reflection between sessions

The study guide by Max Lucado is entitled, "You Were Made For This Moment", How the story of Esther inspires us to step up and stand out for God. Everyone is welcome to join the Bible study. You can purchase the book from Amazon or Christianbooks.com, or wherever you order your books. Contact Karen Viviano at 910-880-1358 or gaddylaw@yahoo.com for more information or with questions.

Labyrinth

Seaside’s labyrinth is open to all, a quiet setting to reflect and pray. Walking the labyrinth is a meditation opportunity that helps you focus on spiritual, healing and life issues. A prayer labyrinth allows you to slow down, be grateful and pray.

A Layrinth Prayer seeks to provide a way of assisting us on a journey that leads inward towards Christ, and then back out into the world. When engaged in Labyrinth Prayer, the hope is that we will be able to leave behind your worries

Holy Friends

Holy Friends are small groups of couples and/or singles who generally meet once a month in the group members’ homes. The major focus of Holy Friends is building relationships—growing relationships with those in your group and a growing spiritual relationship with God. There is usually a meal shared together, time for building community, time for teaching and sharing faith journeys and, of course a time for prayer. Each group sets the date and time for their meeting.
