SINGLES & FRIENDS

HHS Room E107

Come and join us each week as we share God’s Word.  Meet new and not-so-new friends as we study and fellowship together.

KINDRED SPIRITS

HHS Room E110

A wonderful class for women who study God’s Word together, to help guide them in the real world day-to-day aspects.

BUILDING GOD’S FAMILY

HHS Room E102

A community of parents, who are striving to know God, grow spiritually and raise their families based on biblical principles, by studying the Bible together.

THE REFINERY

HHS Room E104

Here you will be honed, sharpened and refined.

EMPTY NESTERS

HHS Room E106

Have your children grown and left the nest? Or, maybe you have no children, boomerang children, or, maybe they are almost ready to “fly away”.  Come and fellowship with us and continue your spiritual growth with solid biblical teachings from God’s Word, which equips adults to live with God-given purpose in today’s world.

SENIOR SENIORS

Meets in the office at the church

We have open discussions and use the Bible Studies For Life series, written for seniors.  Our class has caring and loving members who are always expressing their love for one another.

COLLEGE & CAREER AGED ADULTS

HHS Room E205

A study geared towards young adults, ages 18-30.  In a post-modern society, this age group is especially bombarded with a lot of

philosophical nonsense and is statistically the age in which most people fall away from true, saving faith.  We aspire to learn Biblical truth, how to apply it to our daily lives, and how to better present Jesus to the world. Please join us, armed with your best questions and prepare to get deeply into the Scriptures.

THE STAR CLASS (We…Seek Truth and Respond)

HHS Room E106                           

We wholeheartedly welcome singles and couples of all ages, and emphasize the historical context of Scripture while providing current day applications.  Our class is participatory (versus lecture).

SENIOR SAINTS

HHS Room E108

We are seeking to become more like JESUS by studying and living God’s Word.
