The members of the Living the Questions Adult Sunday School class invite you to join in a study of John Wesley and Methodists, the beliefs and actions that started the group of believers called Methodists.

The class will consist of some readings, some presentations, and an extended dialogue about what it means to us today. Travel with us from Epworth, Lincolnshire in 1703 through time attending Oxford, during ordination in the Anglican church, on a trip to the New World in 1735 to preach in Georgia, and onward to return to England, Aldergate Street, and the continued the development of a group of Methodists, in both England and America, as Methodism was born. Live the Questions with us in the faith journey.

We invite you to join us at 10:00 on Sunday mornings in the Wallace Classroom.

Children's Sunday School- Elementary age

Last January we added bringing offering to Sunday School and this year we are adding Memory Verses!

One of the most important things for young minds is to plant the word of God as early–and as often–as possible. Teaching the Bible to young ones, and then helping them to memorize it verse by verse, plants important spiritual seeds in their minds and hearts that will sprout into faith for years to come!

We will work on one bible verse every 3 weeks with activities and bible stories each Sunday that relate to that verse! Please help your kids practice their verses at home! We will be asking them to recite it at the end of the 3 weeks. We'll have fun prizes for remembering their verse!

Our verse for the next couple of weeks:

Your word is a lamp to my feet

     and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105

Sunday Night Youth Group

Join us Sunday evenings from 6-8pm for fun, fellowship and worship!

Open to all 6th-12th graders and their friends!

Who wants to come hang out with some awesome youth?!? We are in need of adults to help with Youth Group. Can't help every Sunday? That's ok! Help when you're able. We have to have a minimum of 2 adults each Sunday for Safe Gatherings ratio so that gives us an opportunity to have lots of adults impact the lives of the kids in our growing youth group!

Can't help on Sundays? You can support our youth by providing meals and snacks.
