Summer Quarter (June - August 2008)
"Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."
The Apostle Peter closes his second letter to the church with these words. It's a challenge that continues to stir us 2000 years after it was written. We believe that we cannot continue to grow 
in our knowledge of God and be transformed by that knowledge without being purposeful in our study of His Word, His teachings, and the experiences of others who are journeying towards Him in faith as well.
Our Adult Sunday School classes are designed to assist you in fulfilling Peter's call to growth. They provide a comfortable and safe environment to examine God's Word with others on the journey of faith. Our teachers are well-equipped to challenge your mind and motivate your spirit to pursue a deeper walk with the Lord.
The goal of the Adult Sunday School ministry is to increase the practical application of Biblical truth in our everyday lives.
Our classes vary in size, lesson content, and structure. Some classes appeal to the younger members, while others focus more on the needs of the older generation. All are based on a quarterly theme, book, or Bible study. Because the topics change from quarter to quarter, you may want to participate in a different class next quarter. However, as you develop friendships in a class, you may decide to make that your "home" class.
