Some trends are playing off the idea that "Sunday School" sounds too demeaning to an adult and have changed the "adult sunday school" to something like "Laymen's Bible Institute".

A model that I have seen in a liberal church which I like is something they called "Institute for Discipleship" which models its local church adult education ministry on a BOCES kind of model and provides small group classes throughout the week on a quarterly basis during the year.

I have been entrepreneuring an adult ed class in my church devoted to matters of Christian Ethics and doctrine that has appealed to some adults in the congregation and that the ministry really seems to appreciate..
