The Christian Learning Center of Lexington is an educational program open to adults and teens in Lexington and surrounding communities. The goal of the program is to provide a forum to study the Bible in a relaxed, supportive group setting. Whether you are exploring the Bible for the first time or have read it all of your life, you can benefit from the programs. Emphasis is put on learning how the Biblical lessons can be applied to our daily life. Courses are taught by Lexington First Baptist ministerial staff and guest lecturers. The courses are free except for suggested donations for dinner or course materials.
2007-2008 Series We invite you to join us on a personal as well as a communal journey of wellness in the context of Jesus’ invitation to us as followers to “teach, preach and heal”. As we study, pray and share, we hope to explore the multi-faceted meanings of this oft-used, misunderstood concept of HEALING.
Martin Luther said, "This life, therefore, is not
godliness, but the process of becoming godly, not health, but
getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are
not now what we shall be, but we are on the way." In this context,
we believe we are works in progress. This Bible Study series will help participants to be more whole and complete than we could ever be without the gift of grace from God. We should be better able to establish a way of life that is conductive to wholeness and health. This Bible Study is designed so you can benefit by attending only one session, multiple sessions or all of the sessions. Come when you can or when the topic sounds interesting. Come join us on Wednesday evenings for fellowship, biblical reflection, learning and lively discussion. You can learn from 30 Biblical stories what Jesus taught about healing as we study and ponder the Gospel message. This Bible Study is another means to learn, understand, and apply Christ's teachings to our lives and at the same time note how he dealt with the whole person in his ministry.
This Bible
Study is designed so you can attend only one evening or every
evening or anything in between. Each evening study is a self
contained study. Weekly Wednesday Schedule
April 23, 2008 Witnessing the funeral procession of a widow’s only son, Jesus was moved to compassion. Another time, when Jesus arrived at the tomb of a good friend who had been dead four days, he was moved to tears. Come and meet Jesus the man.
May 7, 2008 Some people feel uncomfortable and even guilty for going to God repeatedly for help. Jesus seemed to never turn anyone away. No human need was too small. No problem was unsolvable and no sickness was incurable. Come this evening, bring your concerns and needs. Jesus will not turn you away.
May 14, 2008 As a follower of Jesus, would you be willing to be “sent out” into your world to help and heal the sick? Seventy-two of his followers in this healing story were sent out. When they returned they had fantastic news to share with Jesus. Come this evening to find out what they discovered.
May 21, 2008 Jesus Christ never changes! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Come to this final session – what do all these healing stories tell us about the role of Christ’s Healing in today’s world.

Wednesday Evening Routine
6:30 PM Dinner ($5 suggested
donation) This Bible Study is dedicated to Betsy McGovern 1960-2006 Betsy was an active member of First Baptist Lexington. While still a young wife and mother, she died of cancer after putting up a strong fight to survive. Before her strength diminished, Betsy attended a Healing Prayer Service in Connecticut. Before her death, she received healing touch and prayer from her many friends and family members. This seemed to help her cope with her illness and prepare her and her family for her death. Betsy received healing relationally, spiritually and emotionally during her last days. Even as she was dying she said that God was healing her. She strongly urged our church to have a healing ministry and would definitely be involved if she had lived. Additional Adult Classes
"Adults Exploring the Bible Together" – is a 45 minute interactive session that is held in the church library before Sunday Worship from 9:30 AM to 10:15 AM. This year we are exploring Romans covering roughly one chapter per week. We participate in reading the chapter to start the session and then a series of questions provided by the facilitator stimulate discussions.
We always end
with a discussion on how this can be applied to our daily lives. We
welcome people to join us for one Sunday or on a regular basis.
Typically this is a group where many of our new members and friends
first join in and participate. The group will meet starting on
Sunday, September 16, 2007 and continue throughout the year.
“Quiet Your Mind and Hear God” – this is a new Sunday Morning Group. This is a faith-based wellness approach to reading the Bible. Each week we will read, meditate and respond to a selected scripture on the theme of Forgiveness. Starting with an introductory session on September 16th, meeting from 9:15 – 10:15 a.m. in room 103. The eight week session will begin on September 23th.
