Generally when you attend Sunday school as an adult you will attend the Gospel Doctrine class. This class studies the scriptures in depth over the course of the year and rotates through the different volumes of scripture each year. However, you may be asked or have the opportunity to attend a different Sunday school class that your ward is offering.

One class that you may be asked to attend is Gospel Principles. This class is designed for new members or for members that are returning to activity. It talks about specific principles of the gospel in depth. The scriptures are used to support the discussions. Additionally the class is usually smaller, which makes it easier to ask questions.

Another class that may be offered during Sunday school is the Teaching No Greater Call class. This class is focused on helping you improve your teaching skills. Since nearly every calling at church involves teaching this is an important class to take. The class is not a full year class, but takes about a quarter to complete. The manual is an excellent resource, because in addition to the lessons it offers ideas for classroom management, attention activities and games for your classes.

Another class that may be taught is the Celestial Marriage class. This class focuses on the importance of your marriage. Additionally it focuses on things you can do to improve your marriage relationship and strengthen your family. This class is not a full year class either. You may be asked to attend by your bishop.

Your ward may offer a class on family history as well. This class will introduce you to the basics of completing your family history. It generally covers why you do family history, how to do it and how to prepare the names for the temple. This is a great class if you are just starting out with family history.

Your ward may occasionally offer a different class as well. This is according to the discretion of the bishop. Sunday school classes are supposed to help your testimony and understanding of the gospel grow. What is your favorite Sunday school class?
