SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
Jesus Continued: This theologically based class
will be based off the book “Jesus Continued” by JD Greear and will focus on pneumatology which is the study of the Holy
Spirit. Join Pastor Aaron this week as he leads the class in Classroom 1.
Church 101 Q&A: This class will be formatted
as a question and answer time where the questions that you have can be
submitted on Sunday and discussed during Sunday School. There will be a QR code
on your bulletin on Sunday Morning that you can scan and then submit your
questions anonymously. After the service, during Sunday School we will sit down
and dialogue through your questions together, diving deeper into God’s Word. Be
sure to submit your questions on Sunday and join Pastor Tim after the service.
