Spiritual Formation
Sunday Morning Adult Studies
Our classes for adults meet Sunday mornings before and after the 10am worship service.
9am Sunday Morning Bible Study: During the summer, this study follows the sermon series. Each week involves in-depth study and discussion of the past week’s sermon passage. (Rotating leadership of this class during the summer, including elders Sue Munn and Larry Totzky and Archie Trammel, and Pastor Christy.)

Alpha
At least once a year, the 10-week “Alpha” course is offered. Alpha provides an opportunity to learn the basics of the Christian faith, both for curious non-Christians and for Christians seeking a better grasp of what they believe. Participants share a meal, discussion, and enjoy a weekend retreat together as part of the experience. Visit www.alpha.org to learn more, and check the church calendar for upcoming dates.
