Pearl City Community Church offers an array of adult classes on
Sunday, weekdays mornings, and evenings. Many classes begun in
prior terms are on-going, but do not let this deter you from joining
a class. Newcomers are welcome.
We all desire to know God’s will for our lives. We cannot come to
know the will of God until we come to know the word of God. Rick
Warren states, I urge you to get into a small group bible study, it’s
a place you can discuss and bounce ideas off each other. This will
help you grow stronger and deeper spiritually. Real spiritual
growth is never an isolated, individualistic pursuit. Maturity is
produced through relationship and community.
Hebrew 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit… and
discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
SUNDAY CLASSES

Gospel of John: The Gospel according to John presents Jesus as the
eternal Word of God who became human and lived among us.
John emphasizes the gift of eternal life through Christ, a gift which
begins now and which comes to those who respond to Jesus as the
Way, the Truth and the Life. Facilitators: Leroy Ujimori and others

John’s Letters, Discovering Genuine Christianity: What is the
essence of genuine Christianity? What qualities and beliefs must
be present in a living and life-changing faith? John’s letters focus
on the three most important aspects of the Christian life. He helps
us focus our attention on what really matters---both now and for
eternity. Facilitators: Nancy Yoshimoto and Joanne Takamoto at
Higuchi 103
Gospel of Luke: The Gospel according to Luke presents Jesus as
both the promised Savior of Israel and as the Savior of all mankind.
Luke records that Jesus was called by the Spirit of the Lord to
“preach the Good News to the poor”, and this Gospel is filled with
a concern for people with all kind of need. The note of joy is also
prominent in Luke, especially in the opening chapters that
announce the coming of Jesus, and again at the conclusion, when
Jesus ascends to heaven. The story of the growth and spread of the
Christian faith after the ascension of Jesus is told by the same
writer in the book of Acts. Facilitators: Karen Ujimori, Frances
Nakamura and Lei Yap at Family Room.
Book of John: Facilitators: Walt Miyashiro, Katherine Akagi and
Jackie Arakawa at Higuchi 102.
Next Door Savior by Max Lucado: “According to the Bible He
(Jesus) was – and is – both God and fully man. In this course we
will read and discuss problems and situations of everyday people.
Through discussion and prayers we will learn how the Lord gives us
insight and understanding of His words. Facilitator: Gary Tokuda
at Higuchi 101.
Mark. “And whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For
even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and
to give his life as a ransom for many” (10:44, 45). Jesus is the
greatest--God incarnate, our Messiah--but he entered history as a
servant. This is the message of Mark. Written to encourage
Roman Christians and to prove beyond a doubt that Jesus is the
Messiah. Facilitators: Tom and Carol Toyama at PCNH 5th Floor.
11:00AM
Purpose Driven Life….. What on earth am I here for? Author, Rick
Warren. Quote from Max Lucado, a known author throughout the

masterpiece of wise counsel for you. Whether you are a seeker, a
new believer, or a seasoned saint, let God use these pages to place
your feet firmly on the right path!” Facilitators: Gail Kaminaga and
Karen Ujimori at Higuchi 103.
