Sunday School Classes for Adults
|
|
|
|
There are class options for
adults from college age to senior adults. The classes are not structured
strictly by age and several options are available. Visitors are encouraged to
visit as many different classes as they like in order to find a class that
meets their needs for study and fellowship. Most adult classes utilize Bible
study literature published by the Baptist publishing houses of Smyth and
Helwys and Lifeway. Some classes from time to time may deviate from the
structured materials and pursue independent Bible studies that they and their
teacher are interested in. Below is a list of the adult Sunday
School classes with general information about each one. If you have any questions
about these classes, please contact Patti
English, the associate pastor. |
