ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
As we journey through life with the Lord, we need others with whom to share. A Sunday School class can be an essential part of our faith journey, providing us with a group of people who have similar experiences, who care for one another, and who seek God's guidance for their lives in study of the scriptures.
The BIble tells us the mission of Sunday School is "to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up..." Ephesians 4:12 NIV.
Join us each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. for Sunday School! We have eight different adult classes. Below are brief descriptions of each class with contact numbers for each. Find one you think you'll enjoy and visit one Sunday! Feel free to call the contact person from any of the classes. They will be more than happy to answer your questions!

They have several teachers who rotate Sundays, and they use the International Lesson Series. Builders Class meet in Room 302. For more information you may call Helen Hicklin or Fred Genaway.

Foundation Class
Originally organized in 1992, the Foundation Class consists today of couples in the thirty to fifty age range. Since many members have teaching responsibilities in Sunday School classes for children and youth, this is a very flexible class, with members coming and going throughout the year. Weekly lessons are discussion oriented and tend to focus on contemporary issues faced in daily life. The group has various social, fund-raising, and family-related functions during the year. They meet in Room 307. For more information contact Randy & Louise Cox or William Inabnit.
Fresh Word Class
This class is for mixed ages in a small group setting. The group studies the weekly lectionary passages,
seeking to 
apply these scriptures to daily life. Because of their format, class members welcome people to join them occasionally or regularly. Several members share teaching responsibilities. Fresh Word meets in the Heritage Center Parlor. For more information, contact Dan Thomas or Lou Brock.
Genesis Class
Organized in 1981, the Genesis Class has several teachers from its own membership, and occasionally schedules guest teachers. This class of couples and singles seeks to provide a "jump start to faith" for its members. Topics and materials vary, but all have Bible study as the main emphasis. Genesis Class meets in Room 309. For more information contact June West or Tom Burke.
Helpers Class
This class of couples and singles uses the International Lesson Series. Four teachers share teaching responsibilities and use both lecture and discussion in their presentations.
