Sunday School Survey

The class has spanned many years with a diverse approach to include studies of Books of the Bible, Christian-based books and videos, and structured lessons from commercially available resources. What are adults seeking for an Adult Sunday School Class?

As we move into the new building, we must understand that the building is brick and mortar and it is the people that use this resource wisely to reach many areas of Christian growth for children, youth, young adults, older adults, couples, and seniors.
