Sunday Morning Bible Studies
LifeStages: First Baptist Church Decatur has intentionally designed each Bible Study to meet people’s needs based on where they currently are in life. We understand that life is dynamic, and each stage presents new challenges. Our group members understand because they are right there with you! Check out one of our groups; if it’s not the “right fit” for you, please feel free to be our guest in another group. We have a place for you!

Life can seem highly accelerated when your kids are in junior high, high school, and college. Helping them to grow and discover God’s plan for their lives takes intentionality and prayer while you stay spiritually connected to God. LifeStage 3 Sunday Morning Bible Studies offer a place for you to rest and grow in His Word, pray for your children and one another, and walk through some of these most enjoyable, challenging, and formidable years together. We want you to know that you are not alone and that staying connected to God, His Word, and others is essential.

Maturing in Christ continues even after the kids are out of the house, grandchildren have become a recent joy, or life as a retiree has become the new norm. LifeStage 4 Sunday Morning Bible Studies continue to grow and equip middle and senior-aged adults in their faith journey. Some of your most fruitful joys and blessings as a Believer happen at this stage of life, where relationships and life can be enjoyed together.

As a multi-generational church, we grow and learn from decades of experiences, gleaning wisdom, knowledge, and insight from one another – both young and old. LifeStage 5 Sunday Morning Bible Studies allow us to share stories about what God has done in the past so that we may receive hope, guidance, and encouragement for the future. Our multi-generational classes are designed to share life as we grow together in Christ.
Our kids and youth are broken into groups by age and grade. Check them into the kids or youth building, and someone will help you get them to their class.
