Our church has a variety of options for growth in faith.  Whether you need theology classes, practical opportunities for service, one-on-one attention, or simply need to pray, there is a place for you here.  Take a look at the different ways that you can join adults post college, single or married, with or without children according to your personal interests.

In our desire to be a church where no one walks alone in the journey of faith, small groups serve as a central place of encouragement and connection as we follow Christ. These Christ-centered gatherings of 3-12 people provide an environment where one can experience God’s grace, be encouraged in growth, connect with a group of Christ-followers and use their gifts to serve one another and the community at large.

Adult Ed Classes are on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am.  New classes will begin To sign up for any of these Adult Education opportunities, please contact Mike Griffin, Associate Pastor at 542-0205 x107, or Allie Shoulders, Congregational Life Coordinator x122.
