Class projects are giving memorial money gifts when a member dies and supporting some other needs in the community. Visitors and prospective members are always welcome. | |
| Faithbuilders Class...The Faithbuilders Class is, as our name implies, a fellowship of believers who are consistently seeking to build our faith in God and in His Son, to build our faith in others and in ourselves. We seek to grow in our faith in all of these areas by studying the Word, learning from others of great faith, and learning from each other. Learning can be fun! We believe, as Jesus indicated so many times, in fellowshipping together. This great fellowship has taught us much about loving others and caring for others, in our class, in our church and in our community. We laugh a lot, we care a lot, we learn a lot - come join us! | |
| Fellowship Class...The Fellowship Class meets in the Fellowship Room, located in the office area of the Education Building and opens its doors to persons of all ages – single or married. Issues for presentation and discussion are usually short term in duration and represent a variety of theological and biblical perspectives to help persons bring meaning to daily living. Leadership is provided by class members or clergy and lively discussion is encouraged. Studies have included: “Difficult Passages in the Bible”, “Putting Faith into Action”, etc. This class meets for dinner out on the third Friday (usually) of each month at a place the group chooses. Come fellowship with us! | |
