Classes and Studies

Rather than just providing information, our classes and programs create experiences that engage and transform our hearts and actions. Time together as a community nurtures us personally and encourages us to pour out the love of Christ to all.

We offer classes that focus on scripture, theology, and/or discipleship. Classes resume September 10th at 9:45am and will be available in-person at our church or online through Zoom.

You can find a full list of classes, Bible studies, and small groups below.
