Bible Study Information

Mission...
Sunday morning Bible Study is the organization within the local body which He uses to accomplish this Great Commission. Our focus is on reaching out to our local community to show them the love of Jesus Christ and to draw them in so we can minister to them and teach them the saving knowledge of our Savior. We will also focus on teaching the Word of God to our membership and provide a place to CONNECT through fellowship and learning for all who God sends our way. The Bible is our ultimate text book for all classes.

Organization...
In order to accomplish this, our Bible Study is organized into various age-level departments. The organizational structure of our Bible Study and the various classes that make up the various departments are shown below. The departments are divided into distinct age levels of Preschool, Children, Students, and Adults. The Preschool, Children and Student departments are age specific. Although the adult department classes offer age guidelines for incoming visitors, we encourage each adult or couple to find the class that best suits their life situation and the teacher and class that they “connect with” and become most comfortable. If that means trying several different classes, we encourage you to do so.

Finding a Class...
Upon arrival on our campus for the first time to attend Bible Study, we encourage you to visit our Welcome Center called Grand Central. If you have a class in mind you would like to visit, just tell the greeters at Grand Central which class you would like to attend and they will escort you to that class and introduce you to the teacher. If you do not have a class already picked out, they will help you determine a class and escort you to that class

If you have questions about Bible Study, please call our church office at 298-9493 or contact any of our pastoral staff via phone or email via the website Contact link.
