Explorers

Classes in training for Christian living are offered during the 8:30 a.m. worship service on Friday mornings September through May. 

We have self contained classes for children 3 to 6 with a teacher and helper for each age.

We have a different format for children from 7 to 14.  We are using Jubilation Station, which is a hands on experiential approach.  A presentation team introduce the study topic to 7 to 11's.  They then go to small groups with a Shepherd who leads them through story review and application, fun activities, prayer and assists with a project that helps to bring the story and Bible times to life for the children.  12 to 14's study on their own with a dedicated teaching team of their own.

Teens meet at noon in the upper church office villa. 

Classes are also offered for Adults.  Details for these classes are on the Adult Ministry Page.

Family

   Marriage and Parenting classes

In an effort to strengthen our families and better equip ourselves in the ongoing task of nurture and growth within our families and further equip parents in raising children, we offer two opportunities to study biblically grounded subjects dealing with marriage and parenting topics.  One class is during Explorers Friday morning and the other is held during Christ Encounter on Sunday evenings.  These two classes alternate addressing parenting issues and marriage enrichment topics.

   Church wide activities

A variety of regularly scheduled and special events offer the opportunity to strengthen our ties with the church family.  Church wide picnics in the spring and fall give us an opportunity to play and eat together celebrating our unity in diversity with such activities as our International Tug of War.  Future plans include a church wide family retreat.
