Adult Sunday School Classes

Adult Sunday School classes at First Church are intended to give members a chance to affiliate with a small group for learning, mutual support, and service to the church and community.  Each class has a different size, character, and learning style!

Below you'll find a listing and description of the current adult Sunday School classes available at each hour. If you're looking for a group to join for learning, making bonds of friendship and support, and mutual service, consider joining one of these classes. If you're not ready to make that commitment, you're always welcome "just to visit," too!  For more information on specific clases, contact Minister With Adults Mark Lucke.
