Adult Discipleship - Sunday Adult Classes

Sunday Classes & Communities

We know that people grow in their faith by being a part of a group of people who know each other and open up God’s word together. Our Sunday morning classes and communities include Bible studies open to all and life-stage based communities. Full descriptions of the classes and communities appear below. We invite you to find a life-changing group as a way to take a next step in following Jesus. If you’re looking for a small group, click here.

Our life-stage Communities have a variety of teachers over the course of a year. We encourage those classes to invite teachers to lead them in four areas of study each year:
  • Bible Study

  • Theology/Church History

  • Topics relating to Living the Christian Life

  • Ministry and Call—global and local mission and "my 95"
