Sunday School offers an opportunity to study God’s word in small groups and to apply the truths to our daily lives. There are many different classes that are offered for each session that cover a wide variety of interests. A session normally lasts 7-8 weeks. Sunday School is to help people hear and respond to Christ’s call to grow and serve, making disciples of people of all ages through the systematic teaching of God’s Word. Through the ministry of teaching and learning, we are invited to grow in faith and share the joy of the love and grace of God through Jesus Christ.
For adults we are specializing in small group classes such as Marriage and Family, Financial Management, Prayer, Study on Israel and more. With these classes, we are integrating a 21st century version of Sunday School by using DVD /small groups by inviting Chip Ingram, Dr. Gary Chapman, Max Lucado, Bill Hybels, and others into our studies. We also offer classes for children of all ages 0-College Age. On the last Sunday of each session we invite you to our fellowship time in the fellowship hall to gather together for food and a good time with others.
Most of our classes meet on Sunday nights from 6:30-7:30. The Adult SS class, Young Adults (college age), and High Schoolers meet on Sunday mornings from 10:10-10:50. We invite you to join us for SS.

(ADULT ELECTIVES):
Wall Builders: The American Heritage Series featuring David Barton, will focus on America’s forgotten history and heroes, emphasizing the moral, religious and constitutional foundation on which America was built. The stories will remind us of lessons and pieces learned in school, but expound to show the whole story as we have never heard before. This fascinating and educational series inspires viewers and reconnects us with our incredible national history. (Runs over 2 Sunday School sessions)
Standard Curriculum: Hope Through Christ/The Person and the Work of the Holy Spirit.
CONNECTION CLASS with Pastor Doug and Pastor Kevin. This class is designed to help acquaint the Newcomer with our church and to help anyone with spiritual growth. (Helps to prepare you for church membership.)
Seven C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, Consummation. This study will show how true science confirms that biblical account of history, and we’ll be answering the skeptical claims leveled at the Bible time and again. This study will challenge non-Christians to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, equip Christians to better evangelize the lost, and exalt Jesus Christ as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer.
The Five Love Languages of Apology by Dr. Gary Chapman and counselor Jennifer Thomas This is an eye-opening study of one of the most important yet least understood pillars of human relationships: the apology. Those of us who aren’t perfect need to know the anatomy of a complete and genuine apology if we want to sustain healthy, whole relationships—or restore broken ones. The authors analyze the five basic languages of apology: expressing regret, accepting responsibility, making restitution, genuinely repenting, and requesting forgiveness. If you receive an apology that omits your apology language, chances are you won’t fully accept it or even recognize it as an apology. Learn the techniques to effectively recognize and deliver apologies and watch your relationships thrive as a result.
The Family You’ve Always Wanted: Five Ways You Can Make It Happen – The Family You’ve Always Wanted by Dr. Gary Chapman Using a biblical portrait of what God intended a loving, stable family to be, Dr. Gary Chapman has compiled the essential blueprint for modeling a family according to God’s standards. It isn’t so much a book to read as it is a plan to be carried out. How would you like to see your family exhibiting these five timeless characteristics of a healthy family environment: a heart for service; husbands and wives who relate intimately; parents who guide their children; children who obey and honor parents; and husbands who love and lead. As Dr. Chapman puts it, “What happens to your family does make a difference not only to you and your children, but to the thousands of young observers who are in search of a functional family.”
