Adult Ministries

Journey 2nd Hour Sunday School Class - Sunday 10:45am 
What does wisdom mean to you? Does being at the top of Life's heap mean you have mastered it? Wisdom certainly helps you deal with people, make friends, succeed at work & career, seem successful but yet, it is much more than knowledge alone. It entails understanding God's definition of true wisdom and the resulting actions. This wisdom is counter to what the world applauds and values. Come and join us as we study the Book of Proverbs in our Adult Sunday School Class through the months of Oct. to Dec.
 
Fall Women's Bible Study - Thursdays starting September 19 
Join us for our Fall Bible Study, True Woman 101...Divine Design by Mary Kassian and Nancy Leigh Demoss.

Thursdays, September 19 - November 14, 9:30-11 a.m. or 7-8:30 p.m. Register at the Welcome Center, $15.

Join us on Sat. Sept. 14th as kick off our Fall series with focus on our core identity as men. We will be identifying and overcoming the related past wounds that cause distortions of Biblical identity of masculinity and will apply this Biblical manhood as it applies to self, our marriages, families, work and the world.
