Adult Ministry
Small Groups for Adults
We believe that learning is a lifelong process, so we offer many ways for adults to continue learning, growing, and serving God through our family of faith. As a nurturing family of caring believers, we walk alongside each other and encourage one another to follow Christ as we do life together. Through small groups on Sunday mornings and various classes on Wednesday nights, our adults experience the love of God, while building lifelong relationships centered on love, care, and respect.
Opportunities on Sunday Morning
Small groups for adults of all ages are offered on Sunday mornings from 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. Come a little early and grab a free donut and coffee! Most groups meet in the classrooms around our gym. You can find them by going through the doors marked “Family Life Center” toward the back of the parking lot.
Our groups use a variety of literature and
Kai
Adults (college-age up to retirees) gather for prayer, reflection on each week’s lectionary texts, and shared community.

Kingdom Seekers
A variety of ages from young adults to recently retired meet for Biblically-based reflection and conversation centered around the Revised Common Lectionary. This class also loves to gather outside of Sundays for parties and celebrations.
All Things Considered
Composed primarily of senior adults, the class meets for fellowship and study with a focus on how scripture, the experiences of writers and each other inform their faith journey. The class uses a variety of sources to stimulate discussion—the Bible, books, Christian literature.
