As Christians, new and old, we all need to know Jesus and his teachings in order to serve Him better. One way to accomplish this is by studying his Word. The Christian Education Committee strives to provide our congregation with opportunities to study the Word of God together through Sunday school classes and small study groups that meet at different times during the year. These allow us to grow in discipleship and fellowship.
