Sunday Morning Adult Bible Study - We not only encourage our kids to study, but we also make it a high priority for the adults as well. Every Sunday morning we meet at 9:00 am for study of God’s Word. These courses are most often taught by one the pastors, but it is not out of the ordinary for a qualified layperson to take the role of instructor as well.

Each day the participants go through an individual twenty-minute study at home.  Then once a week they come together for group sharing and finally meet with one of the Pastors for the week’s presentation. LifeLight studies go for nine weeks at a time and usually take place twice per year and meets on Monday evenings 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm.
