Young Adult Study - Designed for the younger adult crowd, this class offers studies from the Bible as well as from more contemporary Christian literature.  Full of energy and extracurricular activities, this is the place to be! 

Tuesday Study - 1:00 PM Every Tuesday in the Library - this group is currently working on a "Diving Deeper" study as described above.

Wednesday Study - 7:30 PM Every Wednesday in the Cornerstone Room - this group of adults will spend the summer in devotional studies designed to speak to our condition and enrich our walk with Christ.


     "Momsense!"

Join the Mothers with Young Children for a few moments of sanity, motherhood discussions, and playtime for the kids!  Child care helpers will take the kids while the moms share a devotion and some time just to talk with the other moms.

Sometimes all a mom really needs is another mom!

So Join "Momsense" moms
