Small Groups & Education

There are plenty of ways for you to connect with others and grow spiritually through small groups and Christian Education!

Sunday School

Sunday School classes are in session!

The kids have Sunday School immediately following the children’s message during 11am worship. They are working their way through their lessons this Lent, and will have a party on Easter Sunday, April 5th!

The adults just wrapped up a study on the book Cultivating Fruitfulness by Robert Schnase. After a short break, class will resume on March 8 for a 4-week study on Andy Stanley’s book and video Why Easter Matters.

There is no formal registration required for either class.

Small Group Studies

Come and deepen your relationship with Jesus! Pastor Jim typically organizes a Bible study in the spring. Look for details soon.
