Classes are a space where you can grow in your knowledge of Jesus, affection for Jesus, and devotion to Jesus. You will be encouraged and challenged as you join with other people to talk about how the scriptures speak into important topics that are relevant to your everyday life. Classes are a great opportunity for you to ask questions, find community, and move closer to Jesus.
Sunday Morning Classes
Our Christian Education classes on Sunday morning take place from September through May during both Worship Services. We have different classes at 9:00 am and 10:30 am. See the list below.
Classes begin September 14
Supernatural | Scott Klooster
Much of the Bible centers around things that are unseen. There are descriptions of fascinating, powerful creatures and heavenly scenes. The authors of the Bible understood the existence of this supernatural realm and wrote about it. Learning what God is doing behind the veil helps us have an even greater affection for and devotion to Jesus.
Youth Building | 9:00am
More Than Words: How to talk, listen, grow…together | Dr. Jerry & Judy Schreur, Dr. Rich Albright
This 18-week series on interpersonal communication delves into communication on a deeper level and includes: power struggles and control issues, communicating with humor, gender differences, assertiveness, love languages, bids for connection, resolving conflict, and more.
Youth Building | 10:30am
Standing Strong Through the Storm | Arlene Hamstra
More and more Christians around the world are becoming aware it is an illusion to believe biblical Christian living is a trouble-free life. Jesus Himself said otherwise. Overcoming victory is not the removal of suffering and persecution but standing strong in the midst of it. Standing Strong Through the Storm guides you through the process and discovery of vital, biblical keys to becoming a Christian who can stand strong - and be victorious - no matter what the storm.

First Corinthians Room #7
Teacher: Dick McIntyre
The city of Corinth was as sin ridden as any in the world of the first century. Many of the large metro areas of our country today are comparable.
Paul wrote to a new church in Corinth which struggled with sin to help them have victory in their Christian life. Although the forms are different, the nature of sin never changes. We will spend over 30 weeks looking at a letter that Paul wrote to the church to help them navigate the sinful culture that was having an impact on their lives. It will be a verse-by-verse in-depth study in which we will mine principles and practical application which will help us navigate the sinful culture in which we live. Each lesson is self-contained. I hope you will join us for this study.
