Life-long learning is essential to Christian discipleship. Our education ministries begin in the nursery and continue through high school classes, Adult Forums, and Bible Study in a fully-staffed church school. Christian growth is an ongoing process that is as important for adults as for children and youth. The church also offers seasonal mid-week and Sunday evening series.

Each year we plan "Intergenerational Sundays" when an educational event and the service of worship invlve all ages together, in place of regular Sunday School classes and Adult Forums.

Three committees, Adult Education, Children's Ministries and Youth Ministries, implement these ministries with church staff in order to help each person grow in faith and understanding of God. Brenda Hines, our Interim Director of Children's Ministries, works with the Children's Ministries Committee and staff to provide leadership and coordination for the Church School.
