Currently, the basis for our weekly study are 4 related biblical readings from the lectionary that are published in the church bulletin each week. Team teaching insures that an interesting mix of perspectives lead the wide-ranging class discussions. Singles and couples of all ages are equally welcome in a class that flourishes with various outlooks, building a Christian small group community that gives us a place to make friends within the church. An added bonus is a weekly snack!Children's Class:
