Each Sunday morning we have the opportunity to gather with persons of similar age or interest to participate in Sunday School. We currently have eight adult SundayClasses with varying topics being discussed. Sunday School is a way for a larger group of individuals to share in family life together at First Church. Our Sunday classes celebrate together in outings, parties, mission work, and service within the life of our congregation. Sunday school is at 9:45 each Sunday morning on the 2nd floor education building. All Sunday School classes are open for you to become a part of a growing group of people looking to deepen their faith through the study of the Word. Try out a Sunday class this week and meet some friendly people between the worship services. I’m sure you’ll find a class in which you can grow in your faith, serve with love, and share your testimony passionately. Below is a list of the current classes and where they meet. For more information concerning Sunday classes contact Kirk Norman at 239-6493.
