2012 Current Classes & Studies

The January Session of our adult classes and studies begins January 8th for Sunday classes and January 11th for Wednesday classes (except where noted). Nursery is available for classes which meet from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Nursery and Pioneer Clubs is offered during evening classes from 7:00-8:30 p.m.

Sunday Mornings

Adult Fellowships:

Adult Fellowships allow you to develop relationships with people in your neighborhoods, areas of town, or seasons of life. Most fellowships study the same material on the same schedule, although there may be variance appropriate to the group.

This January we begin a 10-week study of Philippians. In a life dedicated to serving Christ, Paul faced amazing circumstances and conditions. He experienced excruciating poverty, abundant wealth, and everything in between. This “joy letter” was even written from prison. Learn how to choose joy regardless of your conditions or circumstances. Let’s share Paul’s aspiration to know Jesus Christ more and more in this life and rededicate ourselves to claiming the joy we have in Christ.
