Classes • Bible Studies • Support Groups

During the school year we offer classes, support groups and Bible studies on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in order to give you an opportunity to learn and apply the truths of the Bible. Whether it’s a Bible study of a particular passage or book, a class about spiritual disciplines or a group that helps people find freedom from pain and suffering, there is always a chance for you to connect and grow with us.

THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS

THE BOOK OF EPHESIANS
We will walk through the book of Ephesians in the New Testament. Our focus will be on what God has done and is doing in His body. Because He loves us, Christ has saved us through His grace. In his building of the Church, we are all being built up to completeness in Jesus. Come learn and discuss how completeness in Jesus is “already and not yet” through the ongoing work of God in your life.
A podcast of this class will also be available.

WOMEN’S STUDY - THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD

THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD
Who is God, and what is He like? In this Bible study, we will explore the attributes of God found in Scripture. As we study Scripture to discover both the qualities that belong to God alone and those He calls us to reflect, we will grow in our knowledge of Him and encounter the compassionate heart of Christ.

WHILE WE'RE WAITING

When a parent loses a child, you are faced with the reality of many years ahead of you before you are reunited with that child in Heaven. As you face those seemingly interminable years, we have some choices to make… Are you going to abandon or apply your faith? Are you going to allow grief to make you bitter, or allow God to use grief to make you better? These, and many more questions, are discussed at the While We're Waiting support groups. Here you'll find other parents who have gone through the same life-altering moment of losing a child. Here you'll find others who have found hope on the other side.

  • Led by Ward and Tanya Thomas
  • The first Thursday of the month at 6:30pm, year round

LIFE OF CHRIST

See Jesus Clearly. Follow Jesus Faithfully.
Join us as we walk through the life and ministry of Jesus from beginning to end. We’ll explore the promises and prophecies that pointed to His coming, His birth and early years, His baptism, and the launch of His public ministry. Along the way, we’ll see Jesus as both teacher and storyteller, as well as the Good Shepherd who cares deeply for His people. We’ll take a close look at His passion, suffering, crucifixion, and death, and ultimately celebrate Him as the risen and reigning King. This class is designed to help you grow in your understanding of Jesus and deepen your relationship with Him as you fix your eyes on your Lord and Savior.
While this is an adult ministry environment, 5th-12th grade students are welcome to attend with a parent, grandparent, or another adult guardian, making it a great opportunity for families to learn and study the life of Christ together.
This class will be recorded and available as a podcast.
