LIFE Groups You can join a group at any time! This small-group ministry, Biblically rooted and Wesleyan inspired, will offer opportunity to build deeper relationships, grow in discipleship, and live as transformed followers of Jesus Christ. Each group of 10-12 people will meet weekly (at a time and place they choose) for about 90 minutes and will include time for worship, prayer and Bible study, sharing of joys and burdens, as well as fellowship and mentoring. We will grow in love and care for one another and be fruitful in our mission and ministry as we invite others to become part of a LIFE Group so they, too, might encounter Jesus. You can sign up on the Life Groups page of this website.

Seven Reasons Why Every Christian Should Attend Sunday School - Dr. Paul Chappell, pastor and author from Lancaster, California, has said: “Sunday School is the church organized to fulfill the purpose of the church.” The purpose of the local church is to go, win, baptize, and disciple believers in Jesus Christ. While some churches have increasingly neglected the importance of the Sunday School ministry, it is time for God’s people to renew their faithful commitment to this all important ministry of the local church. Through the Sunday School ministry that we can fulfill what Christ has commanded us to do. Here are seven reasons why every Christian should attend Sunday School. The list was generated by pastor Jonathan Blankenship of Charlotte, NC.

1. Sunday School establishes total involvement in the local church.

2. Sunday School embodies the practice of the Great Commission.

3. Sunday School encourages through small group fellowship and activity.

4. Sunday School embraces what Christ began with His disciples.

5. Sunday School equips the believer for ministry and discipleship.

6. Sunday School enhances our ability to honor the Lord’s Day.

7. Sunday School expresses our love for Christ and His church.

May God help us to commit to the Sunday School ministry of our church!
