These are the current adult study classes:
Applied Life – Room 214: This class, facilitated by Jill & Bob Freeman, is discussing “tough issues” based on Adam Hamilton’s series, Confronting the Controversies. The study encourages discussion of Biblical perspectives on tough issues.
Faith Builders – Bride’s Room, main level: The class, led by Dale Rohrbach, will be discussing Max Lucado’s DVD series, Fearless.

Join us as we talk about what this might mean to us as Christians.

Seekers – Room 216: Celebrate the Risen Christ, written by Andy and Sally Langford, challenges us to follow Jesus and his disciples to Jerusalem and the sites of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Join us as we walk not only with Jesus and his followers, but with other faithful followers.
