Sunday School

At Christ Church we believe that Bible Study and Christian fellowship are essential to the life and ministry of our entire congregation. One means by which we provide this opportunity is through Sunday School. Each Sunday morning, at 10:10, there are groups for every age and interest from pre-school through senior adults.

Adult Sunday School Classes:

We have a large variety of adult Sunday School Classes at Christ Church. All of our classes are involved in mission projects, special activities and social events throughout the year. They strive to build a sense of community among their class members as well as to reach out to new members. Classes vary as to size and format. We encourage visitation of the various classes in order to choose which one best meets your needs.
