Adult Fellowship Class (mostly senior members of the church)

This class represents the most mature members of our church.   This class dates back to 1928 and the members provide a strong support for the church through their prayers, attendance and financial giving.  They welcome all who love the bible.

Friendship Class

This class consists of approximately 50 active members who are friends both socially and spiritually. This class was organized in 1955 but opens its arms to include new members. Some have been in the class since its inception while others less than a year. Members range in age from their 50’s to the 70’s and have a wonderful time working on needed church projects and at their social events. The class is noted for making chicken pies which are distributed to first time visitors to our church. The chicken pies are also available for sale to anyone through the church office.

George Elder Class

This class has been established since the early sixties and has about 50 members. Average attendance is 27. We have a wide age range from 50 and up. We welcome singles and couples of all ages. We provide a depth of knowledge and history of the church. Among the many activities this class participates in are: feeding the homeless, participating in the annual Fall Festival, working the pumpkin patch, participating in community activities among them is Communities in Schools (CIS) and active in many other aspects of the church. We have quarterly class socials which provide for a wonderful time of food and fellowship.

Jeff Patterson Class (mostly young adult couples)

This group has been together since 1998.  They are young married couples, many of whom have new babies and young children.  They bring vigor, enthusiasm and fresh ideas to the congregation while supporting each other spiritually.

Search and Reflect Class

The Search & Reflect class is a very diverse group. There are both singles and couples, some with young children, some with grandchildren. We are all young at heart and enjoy studying, learning, and discussing the Bible and study guides. At times we steer away from the quarterly and all read the same book and discuss it by chapter. We have social events several times a year and include all family members. Our class members work as individuals and as a group filling ministries in the church. We are always looking for new members.

The Faith Finders

The Faith Finders Class began with the Divorce Care program, and they enjoyed the company so much, they made a new Sunday School class! They welcome new members in their class. Sometimes it is painful to attend Sunday School without your former spouse. This class is for you if you are separated, divorced, or widowed. Please think about coworkers and family members in these situations and invite them to attend this class. We have gotten new church members because of the birth of the The Faith Finders(was Single Again) Class. It has been a wonderful outreaching ministry for our church. Who do you know that could benefit from this class?

Upper Room Class

This class is open to all ages who enjoy the fellowship of being together to share in Christian love and fellowship. We do various functions including dinner and a movie, “Girl’s Night Out” and support the various projects within the church with our time, talent and money. These activities create a sense of “family” within our class. Members of this class are very active in all functions of the church. We are known for having a good time.
