Adult Sunday School Classes

Welcome! Sunday School is a way for everyone - adults, youth and children - to grow in our knowledge and love of God by learning, serving, praying and playing together.

 Do You Give God 2?

“Excuses, excuses, excuses!” exclaims Senior Minister Mark Craig. “I’ve heard a million of them.  It’s all about your priorities in your life.  Sunday Morning Classes are important to you and your kids.”

Many adults are reluctant to visit a Sunday Morning Class.  But being a part of these classes allows us to go deeper in our knowledge of the Bible and God; grow closer to God and one another; and give greater to our community and world as a group than individuals.

We’re challenging you to visit a Sunday Morning Class and to Give God 2 (two hours) each Sunday. 

 You can find a complete list of our Sunday Morning Classes listed below,  in your Sanctuary bulletin or at the welcome centers. Check out the new classes!
