beginning Sunday, August 9!
We believe that the best disciple-maker for children is a parent who is living out their faith. Join us for a 6-week study on how parents can make positive steps in their child’s faith journey.
This group will be lead by our Associate Pastor, John Hogan, and will be held in Room 102 of our Education Building.
Becoming a disciple is a process, a marathon, and not a sprint. This 6-week class teaches the spiritual habits and keys growing closer to and in a relationship with Jesus.
This group will be led by Mark Quinton and will meet in Room 117 of our Education Building.
God calls us to vocations where we can take our faith and witness into our areas of work. God wants our Christian life to be a part of our work life. Join us for a six-week practical study of how to find joy in our work, purpose during the week, and the Kingdom impact that can be made as a follower of Jesus.
This group will be led by Shawn Hutchinson and Will Kilgo and will be in Room 201 in our Kids’ Ministry Building.

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.
