Sunday School
Sunday School is the lifeblood of our church. Our Sunday School classes serve as a means of learning about the scriptures, discovering our spiritual gifts for ministry, using those gifts in service to the community and also enjoyable social activities. Our Sunday School classes are involved in the ministry and mission of the church and are actively looking for ways to be in ministry to the world.
Sunday School meets at 11:15 AM on Sunday morning. Exceptions are noted in the individual class information.
The Cornerstone Class was founded in 1982. This class is composed of enthusiastic and caring adults who share fellowship through spiritual and social activities. The class sponsors a variety of church based service projects throughout the year. Lessons are based on both Biblical and current events with open and lively discussion encouraged.
