Introduction to Church School

Adult Church School classes provide different learning opportunities for all ages of adults to strengthen their Christian pilgrimage. We offer a variety of classes, some age-oriented, some topic-oriented, with emphasis on Bible study, seminars and lively discussion. We encourage everyone to visit several different classes to find the right "fit" and to participate in any class offered that is of interest. Special seminars and classes are offered several times a year as well. There is a place for everyone to learn and grow in their relationship to God in Christ. Come join us!

Church School begins each Sunday at 9:30 AM.

Foundations Class: (Room 207)

This class of young professionals, singles, couples, and families seeks to be more than a class. It is a community that offers a foundation for living by praying and providing for one another. The Foundations Class will be finishing up an in depth study of the Gospel of Mark and focusing on other stories in the Bible that impact and influence their faith.
