Bible Studies

Sunday School – The purpose of Sunday School is to promote to greater Biblical knowledge for each and every believer. Through studying God’s Word we understand better how we are to live and minister as Christians in a dark and dying world. We have classes for all ages with a full range of children’s classes and adult classes.

Community Groups – We believe that one of the ways life change happens in the context of a small group. God has designed every believer to grow spiritually in fellowship with other believers. Community Groups meet during the week in homes throughout the community. The goal is to develop the mind and heart of Christ through Bible study, prayer, accountability, and serving together. If you are interested in joining a community group, contact Pastor Patrick at the church office.
