Sunday School - Adult

The Sunday School hour is 9:45 - 10:45 a.m. Adults can choose from several different classes. Each class is diverse in its approach to teaching and in the curricula chosen. Each class attempts to meet the individual and corporate needs of its members through study and fellowship. Many classes engage in mission projects and are active in ministry outside the class time. Our overall goal is to provide an environment of lifelong learning which enables adults to mature in faith, deepen relationships, and learn to invest their God-given gifts in ministry. We want to assist you in finding a class which meets your needs and in which you can grow and serve.
