Classes and Education

Bible classes are a vital part of the ministry of this church. Our teachers are dedicated men and women whose aim is to help each student know Christ in a personal way and learn the practical skills of daily Christian living.

Following the example of Jesus, we work to provide a Biblical curriculum that will help people to be spiritually healthy, emotionally stable, socially balanced and physically strong. It is our goal to minister to the whole person and to promote a process by which God can change our sinful nature into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

Meaningful Bible study always facilitates closer personal relationships with God and with each other. Courses are offered for all school ages, teens, college students, singles, young marrieds, parents of children, parents of teens, mid-lifers and seniors.
