Sunday School & Adult Bible Studies

Come GROW with us!

Every Sunday morning at 11 am  following the worship service, you can find a class for yourself and everyone in your family. If you are not sure where to go, stop by the Welcome Center for more information or directions.

Children (Strong Kids up to Grade 5)

Children up to 2 years old meet in the Nursery (room 200). Children 3-4 are in the Preschool (room 103)

Kindergarten through Second Grade (Primary) meet in the lower level classroom 110.

Third through fifth graders (Middlers) meet in the lower level classroom 116.

The Bible is Spirit empowered, so it cannot fail to strengthen kids who interact with its truths. Strong Kids curriculum is built on the Bible bedrock. We know the curriculum’s solid Biblical foundation will make it transformational. Coming up with a comprehensive plan to teach the Bible systematically and completely is not always easy. Our teachers focus on communicating God’s Word and strengthening the kids in our church.

Strong Kids curriculum is built on the seven teaching aims Jesus had during His earthly ministry. Identifying Jesus’ aims helps learn the Bible with purpose and clear goals in sight. Every lesson in Strong Kids addresses at least one of Jesus’ teaching aims.

Youth (Middle & High School)

Both groups join together in the Youth Room (112) on the lower level for snacks, games, announcements about upcoming events and FUN!

Sixth through eighth graders usually meet in room 113 on the lower level.

High School students typically stay in the Youth Room 112 on the lower level.

Youth Group

Middle and high school students meet together weekly for encouragement through God’s Word. They also get together for monthly special events like bonfires, game nights, and more. We have a great team of youth leaders (led by Adam DeSanto) who love encouraging students in their faith and lives. View the church calendar for this month’s activities.

 

Young Adults

Our Rooted Young Adults Ministry is designed for people 18-35 years old to grow and live out their faith in Jesus Christ as they are rooted firmly in God’s Word. We have a weekly study at 11am Sunday mornings and plan to have other fellowship events and serving opportunities.
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.     Colossians 2:6–7 (ESV)
The class is meeting downstairs in the Cafeteria.

Adults

Women will find an in-depth Bible study meeting in the conference room on the main level next to the Welcome Center.

Additional adult Bible studies meet in our Fellowship Hall on the lower level or other rooms throughout the church. One or more different classes may be offered at a time.

Church membership is a declaration of citizenship of Christ’s kingdom. It is also formal relationship between a local church and a Christian, characterized by the church’s affirmation and oversight of a Christian’s discipleship and the Christian’s submission to living out his or her life in care of the church.

There are several important elements: (source: 9Marks.org)

  1. The church body formally affirms an individuals profession of faith and baptism as credible.
  2. The church promises to give oversight to that individuals discipleship.
  3. The individual member formally submits his or her discipleship to the service and authority of this church body and its leaders.

Membership Requirements: You have trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you have been baptized by immersion after becoming a believer.

Complete the application below and set up a time to meet with the Pastor or a Deacon for more information.

What We Believe About Salvation

God’s Word does not teach that Baptism is a requirement for salvation. Instead, Baptism in the church is a public expression of faith after someone has trusted Jesus Christ as Savior. While it is viewed as a personal step of faith, it is not private. Such a public act of obedience clarifies a person’s testimony of salvation and opens the door for greater ministry through membership in the local church.

“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life”.
Romans 6:4

Requirements for Baptism: You have trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you can explain the biblical purpose and reason for baptism.
