Adults Ministry

Engaging in the study of Scriptures is a cornerstone of deepening your connection with God. Through dedicated time spent reading, discussing, and reflecting on the Bible, we gain profound insights into God's character and His purpose for our lives.


We encourage individuals of all ages, from preschoolers to seniors, to participate in a Bible study. Our Sunday School and small group classes offer a supportive environment for believers to come together, fostering a sense of community beyond worship. These gatherings also provide opportunities for fellowship, lively discussions, mutual support during challenging times, social interactions, and involvement in meaningful missions.


Our diverse range of classes caters to various ages and interests. Whether grouped by age, gender, or centered around specific topics, each class offers a unique perspective on the Scriptures.

2025 Fall Programs

Sunday 6pm // Adult Discipleship Training Class


In prayer, we have been given a great gift. The one who created us and holds our destiny in his hands, as an act of great love, desires to connect with each of us. We can talk to God. We can tell him about our day. We can hear Him speak by His Spirit through scripture. We can ask for miracles. We can know God.


We are invited to pray. But when Jesus' disciples asked about prayer, to teach them how to do it, he did not respond with a class, an instruction manual, or even words of encouragement. Instead, He gave them a prayer... 


Join us each Sunday night beginning August 24 at 6:00 PM and join us on a journey of learning to make the Lord's Prayer our own!

This Fall, we will journey through Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon—four profound letters written by the Apostle Paul while he was imprisoned and facing possible death.


These “Prison Epistles” have deeply shaped the Church of Jesus Christ, offering encouragement, exhortation, and edification to believers for generations.


As we explore these letters together, our hope is that each of us will grow in intimacy with Jesus, just as Paul did, and be strengthened by the unshakable hope and joy that flow from a life anchored in Christ—even in the darkest circumstances.


Join us as we read, reflect, and respond to these powerful love letters from prison.

Wednesday 6pm // Service of Prayer

Our desire is for this midweek Service of Prayer, led by Tim Marsh and Tommy Cox, to be different than what we think of when we think of prayer meetings. While we will pray for the needs of our church family and friends, we will also pray for our church, our community, our country, and our world. We will learn to pray from the prayers of Scripture, from the prayers of Christ followers down through the centuries, and from each other’s prayers.


Prayer is the most important spiritual discipline. It is powerful. And, it makes a difference!


Service of Prayer

Wednesday 6pm // Easterby Chapel

Wednesday 6pm // Young Women's Bible Study


Ever have those days where every battery in your life is running low? Every ping you hear is from someone who needs you. Every item you cross off your list has three more to take its place. Let's face it: Sometimes those days are every day. In this study designed with young women and moms in mind, we'll use Tara Sun's Overbooked and Overwhelmed: How to Keep Up With God When You're Just Trying to Keep Up WIth Life as a jumping off point for conversations around faith, family, and how to center our lives around Jesus when we're constantly being pulled in different directions. Join us at 6pm in the Fireside Room on Wednesdays.

Self Paced Guided Study of Scripture // Our Daily S.O.A.P.

S.O.A.P. = Scripture. Observation. Application. Prayer. 

We know that schedules can be busy and can keep you from participating in one of our in person studies. That's why we offer Our Daily S.O.A.P., a self paced guided study of scripture. When you signup, you will receive a daily email that focuses on a different chapter of scripture. During your devoted quite time - whether that be early in the morning, in the carpool line or when the house becomes quiet at night -  read the scripture. Take time to listen to how God is speaking to you. Apply this in your own personal stage in life. Pray. Each email includes a example of someone's personal S.O.A.P. to help you get started. 

S.O.A.P. Reading Schedule:

  • August 1-31: Proverbs


  • September 1-21: The Gospel of John
  • September 22-30: Psalms 80-88


  • October 1-2: Psalms 89-90
  • October 3-18: 1 Corinthians
  • October 19-31: Hebrews
