- - How do I find a Sunday School class that's right for me?
While corporate worship is important, to get the most out of your church experience we encourage participation in adult small groups, which include Sunday School classes, Life Development classes and home-based small groups. Our classes are designed to provide a place for building relationships, caring for one another, and spiritual growth.
Adult Sunday school meets at 8:30, 9:30, and 11:00 a.m. at various locations throughout the church.

Adult Sunday School
Adult Sunday School classes provide a small group atmosphere where long term friendships can be developed, and where we learn how to apply Biblical principles to our daily lives. Below you will find a list of current classes. For more information on Sunday school classes, home based small groups, or the Life Development Process (which is explained in its own brochure) please contact our Director of Connectional Ministries, Eric Light, at 238-9216.
