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 adult class gathers at 10am on Sundays, and kids have Sunday School immediately following the children’s message during 11am worship. There is no formal registration required for either class.

After such a positive experience studying The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller in January and February 2025, the Adult Sunday School class is offering another 6-week study by Timothy Keller, The Reason for God. Each Sunday at 10am (with the exception of Easter) through May 4, the class is discussing a video on a different objection that non-Christians have about God and the Christian faith. Companion books are provided for further study. There is no fee to participate; those wishing to contribute to the cost are welcome to make a donation to the church. Our thanks to Helen Bloom for preparing coffee and refreshments for each class, as well as for leading the class in between The Prodigal God and The Reason for God studies February 23 through March 9.

The cost of the study is $12, which covers the cost of the book. If you prefer to purchase the book on your own, there is no cost for the class. Please contact Kristen Sands at jimandkristen@gmail.com to learn more.
