ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL is a study group that meets on select Sunday mornings to build community and lean deeper into what it means to be disciples and carry out discipleship in our homes, church and community. 2024 Fall class is called “Faith Stories”. This semester we will explore what it is to write out our own individual story of faith so that we can be more prepared to share it with others when the opportunities arise. Everyone's journey is different and we all have a unique story. Your story matters! We will meet on select Sundays immediately following worship in the Fellowship Hall.
