C.I.A. - Christ in Action
Conference Room / led by John Ott & Tim Hester
CIA stands for Christ in Action. This is an interactive class that is studying the Bible through discussion, hearing different viewpoints as to what the verses mean to each of us and how those meanings can be incorporated into our everyday life. As a result, members will learn more about each other and through this fellowship support each other.
New Beginnings
Room 125 / led by Mel Still
New Beginnings is composed of singles and couples, with a wide range of ages. Bible study is guided by various published books and programs, and the teacher serves as a facilitator for guiding class members as scriptures are read and discussed. The goal of the class is to lead people to a biblically based relationship with Christ and then to facilitate development of that relationship. “Come grow with us.”
Seekers (meet & greet, 9:30 AM, class starts 9:45 AM)
Room 124 / led by Rotational Teaching Schedule
The Seekers Class invites you to participate in an exciting fellowship of sincere and fun-loving Christians who enjoy studying the Word of God. Rotation lay teachers provide Scripture lessons and guide class members involvement with group discussions to widen our understanding of the Scriptures and deepen our relationship with God. The Seekers welcome all newcomers and visitors to join the class for a serious study of the International Lesson Series, and for a very informal, joyful atmosphere. Our ministries outside of the classroom include helping to meet the needs of the church and the local community with outreach missions and building our own team relationships with socials and dinners. Our class has more than 50 people and consists of middle aged to seniors.
Trinity
Room 124 / led by Dawn & Eddie Young
The goal of Trinity is to deepen faith and grow spiritually. The class began in 1999 and continues to seek spiritual growth in many different ways, including Bible study, Bible based lessons, service to others, and the joy of fellowship. Class members range in age from mid-30's to mid-50's, married, single, with children and without. Trinity enjoys weekly connection with other believers, offering prayer support for the church and each other, and serving the Lord by helping with the ministry needs of the church and community. With such a diverse group of 30 or more members, lively and exciting discussion is sure to be present each week. You will always find a warm smile, a welcoming spirit to greet you, and there is always a place for you in Trinity!
