fall 2012 ministry guide

Welcome

Back in 1985 when the Lord began to burden my heart for the

birthing of a new congregation in this area, three things from the

Word of God were clearly revealed to me in regard to worship:

1. Unhurried praise and adoration of our Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior,Lord, and the Head of this church. This includes a regular time for breaking

of bread at the Lord’s Table.

2. Prayer and intercession as an expression of our utter dependence onour heavenly Father through Jesus Christ in all things.

3. Bold proclamation that is relevant and instructive. Because we be-lieve that the Bible is God’s self-revelation and therefore contains all

the answers to all of man’s problems and needs, we preach it with all

of its authority.

What we believe God has done in history

We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of

heaven and earth. We believe in Jesus Christ, His only

Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and

born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was

crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On

the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven and is

seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to

judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the

holy catholic* Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness

of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

*As used in this ancient creed, the word catholic means “universal.” It refers to our belief in one worldwide church of believers, Jesus Christ

Himself being the Chief Cornerstone. It does not refer to the Roman Catholic Church. (Ephesians 2:19-20)

Sundays

Our Sunday schedule features three worship serv-

ices: 9:00 and 10:30 A.M., and 5:00 P.M. Dr. Youssef

speaks in person in both of the morning services.

Every service includes a time of worship through

singing, prayer, and teaching.

Apostles @ Five Each week Jonathan Youssef brings

a unique message to this evening

service. Come join us for a time of

worship, fellowship, and the Word

each Sunday at 5:00 P.M.

Wednesday Nights

On Wednesday evenings at 6:15 we offer programs for every-

one in your family. The Hour of Power is our midweek service

that includes a time of worship and an extended time of

prayer. Come early at 5:00 for a family dinner (no reservations

are needed) and then stay for the

Hour of Power and for our great pro-

grams for children and students!

Children’s Ministry

And Jesus took the children in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them. - Mark 10:16

Our vision for the children’s ministry at Apostles is to reach children for

Christ and to equip them to surpass us in the knowledge of God, in

faith, in righteousness, in fruitfulness, and in commitment to world

evangelization. Our mission is to declare the whole counsel of God in all min-

istries to and among children. We take ministry to children seriously and

earnestly desire to see them become mighty men and women of faith. It is our

desire that they will put their trust in Christ at an early age.

Our team of children’s workers joins with parents in nurturing the faith of

their children. We aim to accomplish this in a safe, God-centered, Christ-ex-

alting environment, and trust that every time they come to this place, they

will be reminded that they are a part of a bigger kingdom and in the presence of the King of Kings.

We have special programs for children on Sunday mornings, on Wednesday evenings with “Running Church,”

and on Tuesdays and Thursdays during women's ministry activities. Special events throughout the year are

wonderful opportunities for families to work, serve, play, and worship together.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; andyou will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea andSamaria, and to the ends of the earth. - Acts 1:8

homes, schools, and neighborhoods and to share the love

of Christ wherever they go. STS is an exciting place for stu-

dents to grow in their relationships with God and with each

other, develop a lifestyle of passionate worship of the Lord, and

Young Families Community Class IDavid Watson | Room 623 | Begins September 2

Our class is a group of young couples in their 20s and

30s dedicated to the Scripture and community. We

begin the morning with a conversation over a continen-

tal breakfast, which begins at 8:45. Our Bible study is a

conversational exposition of the deep truths of Scrip-

ture. We believe that our ability to lead quality lives as

spouses, parents, neighbors, and co-workers flows di-

rectly from the integrity we have in our relationship

with Christ. We also believe that the Scripture is God’s

tool for preparing and equipping us for personal min-

istry and sharing the Gospel. Our time together each

Sunday is purposed to make God known through the

teaching of His Word for the sake of encouraging each

one in their walk with Christ and personal ministry.

Young Families Community Class IIAnthony Burnett | Room 612 | Begins September 2

Our class is characterized by scriptural teaching about

God and seasons of the Christian faith. Our group is

made up of married adults in their 30s and 40s and fea-

tures a lecture and discussion model as we study who

God is and what His call on our life entails. We believe

we have been called to carry the Gospel in word and

deed to a world that needs to hear it. We also believe

that same Gospel calls us to be changed by the Holy

Spirit as we serve and minister. When we gather, you

will find hearts for God and for one another that offer

community and purpose for the way we live our lives

and carry the Gospel.

Young Families: The JourneyRobin Burruss | Room 617 | Begins September 9

We are a young families class for married couples in

their 30s and 40s with elementary children. Our Bible

studies are topical studies with rich, authentic dia-

logue. Discussions are driven by Scripture, with em-

phasis placed on the truth of God’s Word experienced

in the lives of those in the group. The class begins with

the young families community breakfast at 8:45 and

gathers for Bible study at 9:20.


Young Families

To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the bodyof Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowl-edge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of thestature of the fullness of Christ. - Ephesians 4:12-13

Our desire is to see young families connect to Christ, to the church, and to each other in meaningful ways.

The young families ministry provides opportunities for these connections to happen. On Sunday morning

we have a breakfast for the whole family at 8:45, followed by a time of teaching and small groups. We also

have small groups that meet in homes during the week. Finally, there are social events that are planned through-

out the year in order for young families to connect socially and to get involved in reaching the community.

For more information about Young Families Ministry, please visit apostles.org/youngfamilies.


HitchedHitched is our monthly commu-

nity gathering for young couples without children.

Each meeting is designed to create and offer com-

munity and connection for young couples, with the

added benefit of an environment based in mentor-

ing. Each month we meet for dinner at a local

restaurant and adjourn to a local home for conver-

sation and coffee with our mentor couple of the

month. The conversations cover a variety of topics

and offer the chance for couples to learn from the

experience of those who are chapters ahead of them

in their story.

HatchedHatched is our monthly com-

munity gathering for young parents. The goal of

Hatched is to create an opportunity for parents to

draw encouragement and community from each

other while enjoying the rare gift of adult conversa-

tion. Each month we invite a mentor couple in to talk

about their journey and encourage us not only as par-

ents, but also as married couples that happen to have

children. We believe the best gift you can give your

child is letting them see the love between their par-

ents, and we are intentional in encouraging and equip-

ping young parents to tend to their relationship first.

Small Groups

They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teachingand to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. - Acts 2:42

Come find a place where you can connect with God and others in deeper ways. Our Small Groups are a

great environment to develop authentic, caring relationships while discussing how God’s truth intersects

life. They help us in our journey of becoming more like Christ . . . together.

Small Groups usually meet in homes every week or every other week, featuring lively, interactive discussions

on God’s Word and how we live it out.

Small Group members share life with all of its joys and challenges. You’ll pray for one another and receive

encouragement. Together, your Small Group will help you live out your faith while impacting others.

Women’s Ministry

Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choicegold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you de-sire can compare with her. - Proverbs 8:10-11

Women are encouraged to grow spiritually and to understand God’s mandate for Biblical womanhood.

Diligent prayer and sound biblical teaching are a foundational commitment. There are opportunities

to learn and grow through several Bible studies offered weekdays or evenings.

Events are scheduled throughout the year for fellowship and outreach such as retreats/conferences, the Christ-

mas teas, and several ministry opportunities. Additionally, the Women’s Ministry supports women through the

Heart-to-Heart mentoring ministry, Widows Network, the Single Moms ministry, Single Hearts (single women

over 40), Quilting for Christ, Close Knit Flock, and several community service projects throughout the year.

God wants you to know His purpose for your life. He desires for you, as a woman, to serve and reach others

for Christ. Whether you are a long-time member, regular attendee, or visitor, we pray that God directs you to

the area where He calls you to serve and grow within the church body.

Mom To Mom: Parenting By The BookSeptember 11 – November 13 (10 Weeks)

The ministry of Mom to Mom is dedicated to encour-

aging young mothers in their walk with God and in

the nurturing of their children. This ministry is hav-

ing a spiritual impact in the lives of other people, and

we believe that when mothers are impacted for

Christ, they will in turn impact their children.

With that in mind, we will study and discuss John

Rosemond’s, Parenting by the Book. John describes

parenting as both a “mission and a ministry,” and he

brings parents back to the uncomplicated basics of

parenting. We believe this book presents practical,

Bible-based advice that will challenge, bless, and en-

courage you along your parenting journey.

woman unique and each life path unlike any other.

Yet God has not left us without truth and pattern.

While every woman is different, all women have

God made us to be women. If you struggle with the

A Study Of Ezra & Nehemiah | Part 1September 13 – November 15 (10 Weeks)

These amazing books of Ezra and Nehemiah provide

encouragement and sustenance in the midst of try-

ing times. In this 21-week study we will seek wisdom

from God’s Word and understand that His mighty

arm is well able to overcome any adversity pre-

sented in our lives. We will see God’s protection of

His people, and know that we have hope in Christ in

the face of evil. We will learn through the rebuilding

of the physical temple of God how we should be

building His temple today, which is made up of liv-

ing stones.

The Majesty Of The Cross That Reveals The Mystery Of SufferingSeptember 13 – November 15 (10 Weeks)

John Stott wrote that the “The fact of suffering un-

doubtedly constitutes the single greatest challenge

to the Christian faith, and has been in every genera-

tion.” The Cross of Christ is the key to understanding

all suffering; in this study of Scriptures from Genesis

through Revelation we will examine the majesty of

the cross that reveals the mystery of all suffering so

that we can understand, accept, and even embrace

suffering for the glory of God. We will be using David

Platt’s The Cross and Suffering study guide and there

will be brief testimonials of how God has used suffer-

ing as an instrument of His grace, as well as group

discussion following each teaching session.

Leader: Julie Van Gorp

Room: 229 | Fee: $20.00




Living SacrificeOctober 11 – November 8 (5 Weeks)

Living Sacrifice, by Dr. Helen Roseveare, is a study of

loving God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and

strength. The by-line for the book is “willing to be

whittled as an arrow” -- demonstrated time and time

again through the life of Helen Roseveare as she

served as a medical missionary in Zaire. She lived “an

incident-filled life,” and her writing reflects that the

key to an authentic life is sacrifice. Foundational

principles of five aspects of womanhood will be

woven throughout the study.

Lord, Give Me A Heart For YouSeptember 27 – November 15 (8 weeks)

Are you criticized, beaten down, discouraged? The

Apostle Paul was so overwhelmed at one time he de-

spaired of life itself! Yet he continued to trust Christ

and passionately live for His pleasure. Learn from

Paul how to master circumstances with a persever-

ing heart for God.

In this study based on 2 Corinthians, Kay Arthur ex-

amines the anatomy of a heart for God. What it looks

like. What it feels like. And how you can strengthen

your own relationship with God. Despite the deep

physical, emotional, and spiritual pain of life, Paul

could rest in the God of all comfort and strength. He

could walk in obedience to his calling. He could fight

the good fight, finish his race, and keep the faith. And

now, through this compelling, insightful, and moving

Bible study, so can you. Join us as we study, Lord Give

Me a Heart for You by Kay Arthur.

Men’s Fraternity AtlantaQuest for Authentic Manhood: Seeing the Greater RewardStarting Friday, September 21

Men are in a battle against a ruthless and relentless

enemy - personal, cultural, and societal forces that

seek to alienate and confuse men at every age and

in every walk of life. Deriding their leadership, de-

grading their capabilities, and distorting their God-

given roles, these belligerents seek to instill fear and

trepidation so that men will run away rather than

fight.

Authentic Men understand the genesis of their

manhood and are grounded in timeless principles

and bedrock values. They are resolute and decisive,

qualities that modern western culture discourages,

not because they have no value, but because such

men are a threat to the prevailing norms and stan-

dards.

Authentic Menunderstand the need to continually

evaluate themselves and to learn and train in the

company of like-minded men. These men understand

the adage: “Life is a team sport.”

Starting Friday, September 21, Men’s Fraternity At-

lanta will present a combination of speakers, videos,

and frank and open discussions among teams of

men, to explore and understand the following topics:

The Battlefield of Manhood

- Impediments to Potential; Friction and a Man’s Life

- Dealing with Disorder

- The Illusion of Control

- Fear, the Greatest Manhood Challenge

- Dynamics of Courage

- The Walk of Faith – Finding Freedom

- Darkness and Light, Moral Failure or Spiritual Power

- Wealth and Privation

- Understanding the Gospel – The Poise of Manhood

Your quest begins on Friday, September 21, at 0555.

To find out more about Men’s Fraternity, contact:

[email protected] or call Brenda Williams

at 404-591-1965.

T


Great Coffee And Great MenMen’s Small GroupsWeekday Mornings

Marriage, children, work, home, faith — the chal-

lenges abound. In today’s world it’s tough to be who

God has called us to be. How do we follow Him and

lead others? How do we balance the demands at

work with the responsibilities at home? How do we

love our wives like Christ loved the church?

God did not intend for you to discover the answer

to these and all the other important life questions

by yourself. You were created to live in community

with other men who are wrestling with the same is-

sues, and who desire to live godly lives that count

for God, but have not yet “put it all together.”

Come join other men who meet here at the

church on most weekday mornings to study Scrip-

ture and to apply it to real life. Share your life with

other men who will help you see Scripture more

clearly and who will help you sharpen your focus

on Christ.

To find out more about men’s small groups, con-

tact Rhonda Saduddin at [email protected] or

404-564-3152.

The PathMen’s Mentoring

The Path is a lay ministry at The Church of The Apos-

tles that seeks to facilitate mentoring partnerships

between men who desire to have accountability for

their lives. The Bible is our primary source of guid-

ance. We strive hard not to create our own “pro-

gram,” but instead, to let the Holy Spirit guide in this

effort. As a reference for our mentors, we use a book

called The Heart of Mentoring by David A. Stoddard.

Dave has worked closely with our core team helping

us fully grasp the Ten Powerful Principles of Effective

Mentoring laid out in his book. The overriding theme

is that mentoring is a process facilitated by a relation-

ship. Each partnership is unique and tailored to the

needs of the younger partner. Mentors are willing to

open their lives, letting the partner see how he suc-

ceeded or failed and above all learned from his expe-

riences. Mentors are good listeners. They don’t have

an agenda or want to change the mentoring partner.

They want to help their mentoring partner navigate

the narrow path of a Christian life.

To find out more, please contact Rhonda Saduddin

[email protected] or 404-564-3152.



First Look John Horton

Room 201

This is a four-week class designed to orient newcom-

ers to the life and ministry of The Church of The Apos-

tles. The class covers an overview of the history,

mission, vision, ministries, and facilities of our

church. The First Look class is a requirement for

church membership. Please call Melanie Poole at 404-

564-6673 if you have any questions. Please choose

from the following start dates: August 5, September

2, September 30 or October 28.

Breakthrough Living Roy Jones

Room 237

Please join us for a study of Paul’s letter to the Gala-

tians. As we study together we will learn that the

Gospel means that while Christians are in them-

selves still sinning, in Christ in God’s sight they are

accepted and righteous. So we can say that we are

more wicked than we ever dared believe, but more

loved and accepted in Christ than we ever dared

hope — at the very same time. This creates a radi-

cal new dynamic for personal growth. We can use

it to delight and imitate the One who has saved us

rather than to get His attention or procure His

favor. We now run the race “for the joy that is set

before us” rather than “for the fear that comes be-

hind us.”

Builders Steve Peterson

Room 616

Builders is a community of believers committed to

providing an atmosphere where God can build faith

and fruit in each of our lives. Because of this commit-

ment we pray, study God’s Word, and share honestly

concerning the ways God is working in our lives. We

are an open fellowship where anyone can experi-

ence authentic community and make new friends.

We will be studying The Gospel of Mark. Please come

and be challenged to go deeper in your walk with

Christ.

adult Bible Classes

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workmanwho does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles theword of truth. - 2 Timothy 2:15

The goal of our discipleship ministries is to

bring people together under the Word of

God so that they can grow in their Chris-

tian faith and carry the Gospel to others. Our

Sunday morning adult Bible classes are struc-

tured to help people not only gain knowledge,

but also to acquire understanding and grow in

wisdom. All classes are led by gifted facilitators

in small-to-medium-sized settings.

For more information about our currentclasses visit apostles.org/adult-bible-studies.

Classes start September 9 at 9:00 A.M. (unless otherwise indicated)



1 Corinthians Mike Sessoms

Room 248

Mike was a missionary to Western Africa for over 25

years and he brings a seasoned perspective to the

study of God’s Word. In 1 Corinthians, Paul outlines

the overwhelming superiority of God's salvation, how

He places us in Christ and has made Christ to be for

us all that we need. Paul contrasts God's “how to's”

versus man’s “how to's” to show the power of the

Gospel to bring redemptive victory to all the areas of

the believer’s life. In addition, Paul illustrates pat-

terns of how believers are to live: following clear

commands of God, allowing for apostolic authority

to speak principles of truth, and as one matures,

being led by the Spirit to make decisions solely for

the glory of God.

When we consider how similar our society is to the

one in Corinth, we see a letter that is as “alive” and

full of application for us today as it was when it was

written.

Just A Closer Walk With TheeJ. C. Poole

Room 229 B-C

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John will be our travel

guides as we follow Jesus and pursue a closer walk

with Him “so as to walk in a manner worthy of the

Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every

good work and increasing in the knowledge of God”

(Colossians 1:10). Our guides document how God de-

scribed Jesus and how His disciples and contempo-

raries viewed Him. Along the way, we will witness

Jesus performing amazing miracles, teaching many

parables, and meeting those who had face-to-face en-

counters. The glory and majesty of Christ will be re-

vealed along the journey. Come join us as we walk

where Jesus walked in the Gospels.

Knowing and Doing God’s Will Bobby Mitchell Sr.

Room 229 A

Does God call us today? If God is calling, are we lis-

tening? How do we recognize God’s voice and re-

spond in obedience? What do we do, and how do we

do it? Can I really walk with the Lord in twenty-first

century America? Do I have to do it in all aspects of

my life—work, marriage, family, friends, etc.? Who

can help me? What is a council of advisors? How did

others do it? This study addresses these and many

other questions and is all about practical application

in today’s world.

Living at PeaceBryan Alison

Room 614

This course, originally named “Peacemakers,” has been

revamped to use real-life scenarios to effectively apply

the principles of biblical peacemaking. It will equip

you to use biblical principles in everyday life relation-

ships with those at home, church, and in your social

life and workplace. Applying these principles will

allow you to bring glory to God and make a difference

for Christ in those places where you have been

planted. You will not only grow in your relationship

with Christ, but you will learn how to serve others in

difficult situations. Come join us and explore what God

wants to do in and through your relationships.

The Gospel of JohnMonte Johnson

Room 611

An in-depth, verse-by-verse study, with application

for today!



Parents of TeenagersTom Wilkes

Room 615

We are comprised of parents of teenagers or former

teens, some of them now in college and some begin-

ning their careers. Each year we focus on a different

book of the Bible and use a study guide to aid us. We

use our time on Sunday mornings to pray for each

other and discuss an assigned passage of the Bible.

Our goal is to deepen our relationship with Christ and

walk as role models for our kids.

Starting PointJames Saxon and a Team

Room 239

Starting Point is a conversational small group envi-

ronment where you can explore and grow in your

experience of the Christian faith in a safe and nur-

turing community. If you desire to learn more about

the basics of your spiritual foundation, come and

join us on Sunday mornings this fall for Starting

Point.

Young ProfessionalsRuss Masterson

Room 610

This class is designed to build community among sin-

gles in their 20s and 30s, focusing on topics that are

applicable to what it means to follow Jesus in per-

sonal, relational, and business life.

What the Bible Really Says Stan Carder

Room 243

This course is a summary of our Christian beliefs,

and it is formatted to enable us to make a logical de-

fense of our faith. We will be examining God’s Word

and learning how we are to apply these truths to

those with whom we interact, whether at work, in

our neighborhoods, or in the communities where

we are serving. Through teaching, interaction, and

small group discussions, we will solidify our trust

in the foundational truths of God’s Word. This class

is highly recommended for all believers who desire

to make an impact upon the culture in which we

live.

What the Founders Knew: Looking at America’sHeritage from a Biblical PerspectiveDavid Nicholas / Dal Sumrell

Room 246

Few pursuits could be more important than reflect-

ing on God’s role in the building of America and in

His role in securing the “Blessings of Liberty.” This

class is a combination of Bible study which looks at

God’s promises regarding government and its admin-

istration, and an examination of laws, resolutions,

and proclamations found in the U.S. National

Archives that were crafted in light of God’s Word. Join

us as we reflect upon what God has done and look

forward to what He will do!
