Where Each Group Meets
Preschool
All preschool groups are located
on the first floor of the original building. If you enter the building through
the doors under the covered drive, follow the main hall in that building.
Children
All children groups are
located on the second floor of the original building. As you go through the
main hall, you will find stairwells leading you to that area of the building.
Youth
All youth Bible study groups
are located on the second floor of the new education building. Enter through
the large glassed in area and take the stairs immediately to your left. This
will take you to a large room where the youth gather prior to their small
groups.

Adult groups are located on
the first and second floors of the new education building and on the first
floor of the original building. When entering a door, ask one of the people who
greet you and they will be happy to assist you in finding a class that will fit
your needs.
Ask any of the people who greet you are
the door and they will help you find the group you are seeking.
Answers to Common Questions
We encourage you to bring
your own Bible. However, if you need a Bible, we would be glad to provide you
with your own copy.
There will be no tests at
the end of the Bible study time. Our purpose is to examine as a group the
truths found in the Bible and find practical ways for living them in our lives.
You determine the level of
your participation. If you want to respond to questions asked, you are free to
do so, or you can simply listen to what others have to say. It is up to you.
You will find people from
all kinds of backgrounds, professions, and family situations. You will find
people dressed in a variety of ways as well. The diversity adds strength to the
study time.
Preschoolers are cared for
by qualified and caring people. A system is in place to make sure each child is
safe and secure while in our care.
A worship celebration takes
place on both sides of the Bible Study time. These celebrations begin at 8:15
a.m. and at 10:50 a.m.
