Agape

I Cor 16:14, “Do everything in love”. This is our view 24/7.

The class is primarily 55-70 YOs, and primarily married couples. But we have (and welcome) singles, younger/olders and married people/attending separately from spouse. Most of us are parents of adult children with some grandchildren. Most of also have parents in their late 80’s and 90’s.

We feel a strong commitment to the missions of the church. Many of our members have been on ASP (3 as team leaders), some still go. We do a yearly service project at Wesley Woods in the spring. We execute the Spud Bar ( a name based on the popular ASP tool), and all the money goes to missions (because we pay for the supplies).

We eat out monthly for class fellowship at various local restaurants.

Gateway Class

This class is a mix of singles and couples, parents, grandparents, and young adults between the ages of 40-60. We meet in the lower level of church each Sunday from 9:45-10:30am. We strive to grow together in prayer and Bible knowledge, sharing life and challenges together as we walk forward as Christ’s servants in the world!

We have studied a variety of subjects, including Biblical studies written by Max Lacado, Joyce Myers, Andy Stanley, Francis Chan and many more!
