Class Descriptions
ADULTS
Sunday Morning Bible Study – Starting at 9:00 a.m. and lasting 1 hour, we offer a variety of classes for men and women.
Sojourners:
so·journ (sō′jûrn′, sō-jûrn′) – A temporary stay; a brief period of residence. The Sojourner’s class is made up of men and women, young and mature, couples and singles with the understanding that this world is our temporary residence. It is this class’s desire to learn more about God and our Lord, Jesus, by reading and studying His Word. Taught in a lecture style, we learn the history behind bible events, the lessons we can take from the events and how it applies today.
Mature Women:
When you enter this class of adult women, from young to mature, you will immediately notice the love, care, and support that each has for one another. Together, the Ladies class seeks to deepen their knowledge of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and discover His answers to their deepest needs.
Gemstones:
Designed for young women, typically of college and career age, this class was born out of a burden for the mass exodus of youth from the faith when they leave home. The goal is to inspire a love for God and to learn how to accurately apply His word to everyday life. Though outside resources may be used at times, the Bible will always remain the center focus. Class format is based on discussion, rather than lecture, and is designed to be an intimate and safe place to discuss hard topics.
Young Adult: “Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God”. Over the years, God has used the truths of “Experiencing God” to awaken believers to a radically God-centered way of life. With this class you will have the opportunity to know God more intimately, to recognize His voice, and to understand His will for your life.
Pastor’s class:
This is an ever-changing class geared towards meeting needs that God has impressed upon the Pastor. Usually made up of a series of lessons based on that common need, it seeks to help the class grow in their relationship with Christ while helping them with the tools they need in coping with everyday issues.

TeamKID: Designed for Kids in Discipleship! It features Bible memory games and application of Bible truths, engaging missions videos and activities, and fun activity-based learning all while helping kids grow to be more like Jesus. A ministry committed to the belief that the greatest impact for Christ starts with kids who know, love and serve Him. TeamKID meets on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:00 during the school year, usually in early September through April.
VBS: This Vacation Bible School meets the first week in August and is in the evening. It meets from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. No registration necessary.
