Quiet Faith of Unsung Heroes
Leader: Shari Martin
Purpose: Bible Study
Location: Room 15

This is a continuation of the “Forgotten for the Lord” series. Sometimes we hear a name from the Bible and we realize we don’t know much about that individual. They may be unknown to us but not forgotten by our Lord. As we study these people, we find out how significant they really were. This Bible Study is about those people God honors in His Word; ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things for God.

Letters to the Church: Galatians

In this day and age, we can see the words of Scripture spelled out in the headlines. The best defense is to know and understand the truth of God’s Word. We will open Galatians and our hearts to learn what the Spirit says to His church and then we will explore how to respond.

The Power of Hospitality

Whether your relationship feels strong or stretched in this season, this class will help you grow closer to God and to each other. Marriage is better when we are learning, growing, and doing life together.

Theresa Exploring Praise and Worship
Leader: Theresa Edwards
Purpose: Christian Growth
Location: Room 15

Praise and worship serves an important role, not only in our individual Christian walk but also in the church's corporate gatherings. This class will explore praise and worship, entering the presence of God, how praise is used as a weapon of war and the purpose of congregational worship. Whether you are a new Christian, desire to know more about praise and worship, feel shy or fearful to lift your hands in public, or you just want to become a better worshipper. This class is for you!

Angela Branch Class Already Gone
Leader: Angela Branch
Purpose: Family Christian Growth
Location: Room 20

Faithful church attendance as a child does not guarantee a faithful young adult. Generations of students are leaving the church. What's missing? Where is the disconnect?
