What is Sunday School?
Sunday school is an opportunity to go deeper into God’s word and study broad or specific topics.
Classes meet before service at 9am in the fellowship hall of the Church.
We currently have one class meeting called “Going Deeper” which is walking through the Bible one book at a time. This offers a more in-depth look at what the originals authors were trying to achieve with their works.
Our goal is to have a mix of classes that meet both regularly and short term.
Biblical Foundation:
2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Joshua 1:8 “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”
What is Life Group?
A Life Group is a small group of people (5-10) of both men and women who share the Christian life together by studying the Bible and building relationships to gain strength for life.
Group members are expected to attend regularly according to the groups decided schedule. Study prior to each meeting is not required; however, it greatly benefits both the individual and the group. No one will be put on the spot to share or pray.
Life groups run in semesters with fall (September-December), Spring (January-April), and Summer (May-August). This allows for breaks in-between and for different groups to form.
Our Life Group leaders are required to be equipped and trained. We are confident that you will find them enjoyable and knowledgeable. Life Groups are a fun and exciting way to learn God’s Word, challenge us to apply God’s principles, and build friendships that will last a life-time!

Acts 2:42-47 "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Matthew 28:18-20 "Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth as been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you, and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
What are growth partners?
These are a small group of 2-4 people all of the same gender. The goal is for them to connect with one another at least once a week to see how one’s life and faith are going.
A large part of these partnerships is not just the accountability of whether someone is coming to Church on a Sunday morning, but are they seeking God in their daily lives. It is when we hold each other to this that maturity and growth in Christ will excel.
There is no special time frame for when growth partners start or end. The goal is for these to exist year round and be formed naturally through the connections that a person makes in the Church.
The church will provide questions based off recent messages and other materials to work through together with these partners to help spur on conversations.

Galatians 6:1-2 “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
James 5:26 “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
