Each Sunday morning from 9:45am to 10:45am adults meet in small groups called “Sunday school classes” to study the Bible and support one another in their faith journeys.  Each adult Sunday school class has its own unique flavor and way of offering Christian learning opportunities, genuine fellowship and missional outreach.
