2026 WINTER QUARTER

It’s time to begin signing up for the winter quarter Adult Bible Studies! These studies will
meet on Sunday mornings at 9am. Two classes will be offered:

Rosh will be teaching a series "9 Marks of a Healthy Church"
"Instead of an instruction manual for church growth, this study offers clear, biblical principles for assessing the health of your church. More importantly, it helps believers identify their own spiritual health as they engage and interact with their local church."

Pastor Doug will be teaching "Galatians: A Complete Study"
"The book of Galatians is short but powerful. Paul addresses the need for a clear understanding of the Gospel, how Scripture finds its climax in the Gospel, and what the Christian faith implies for Christian living."

There will not be books, but we will most likely have handouts we give each week.
We do ask you to register so that we know what size room to plan for.
New classes will begin December 6. You may sign up below or by contacting the church office. We encourage you to register today & plan to join us this winter!
