    Breaking Down the Walls in Adult Bible Classes
    Adults tend to build walls around themselves that block out unwanted feelings, keep a distance between them and other people, and hide who they really are. In teaching adults this poses a problem because these walls can also keep truth and growth opportunities from getting in. This session will help teachers of adult classes focus on tools they can use to chisel away at those protective barriers.

    Some Outreach Do's & Don'ts for the Adult Classroom
    Some adult church-goers may have grown up in a Christian home and acquired a lifestyle consistent with being a Christian yet never entered into a personal relationship with Jesus. Some might consider themselves Christians simply because they aren't atheists. Teachers of adult classes shouldn't assume all students are true believers in Jesus Christ. This 5 page teacher training worksheet provides seven suggestions, written as do's and don'ts, to implement if you want to reach those who might not truly know the Lord.
