Sunday Discipleship
Nearly every Sunday we offer classes for all ages to enrich their knowledge of the Bible and, more importantly, their knowledge of its Author. 'Sunday School' is the traditional term for this, but we want to emphasize that this isn't just about downloading information. It's more about applying that information in everyday life so that we are conformed to the image of Christ.

The lesson incorporates family-themed Bible stories, service learning, arts and crafts, animated video storytelling, and games into a lived-faith experience. Depending on class size, kids may be divided into K-2nd and 3rd-5th. Led by experienced teachers and mothers Sharon Howe and Wendy Maxson. |

Conversational discipleship (all ages)
The goal of discipleship is transformation, not information. Often times information is helpful. But sometimes transformation into Christ's image happens best through conversation. So grab a cup of coffee and linger for a while. Meet a stranger and discover Christ's presence within them. Share deeply with a trusted friend. Encourage one another, pray for one another, and "stir up one another to love and good works" (Hebrews 10:24).
