Connect, Learn, Grow
Sunday Adult Classes
Adult classes meet on Sunday mornings at 9:15am. Their purpose is to exalt Jesus and to keep Him at the center of our lives. Our desire is to equip and encourage people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. It is also an opportunity for people to connect in a smaller setting beyond the large church gathering.
We have ongoing classes that meet throughout the year as well as four to six-week elective classes to help people know Him better, understand and apply the Word to everyday living and to learn life skills for living in the family of Jesus as well as in our homes, neighborhoods, workplaces and community.
No registration is necessary for our Sunday classes unless otherwise noted. You are welcome to simply show up any Sunday and give them a try. We certainly hope you do!

Why Do We Go To Church?
Hosted by Connection Point Class
Facilitated by Don Westerberg
Deschutes Room; 9:15am Sundays
March 1-29, 2026
We know that church is important, but why do we need to go to church? With online access to any sermon anywhere in the world with a click of a button, why does it matter that we are connected to a local body of believers? In this five-session series, author and pastor Ben Stuart explores what the church is, the significance of reading the Bible together, the value and purpose of the sacraments, and what genuine and faithful community looks like.
Join us Sundays at 9:15am in the Deschutes Room.
The Psalms
Hosted by the Come and See Class
Facilitated by Dick Middlebrooks
Columbia Room; 9:15am Sundays
The Psalms consist of 150 individual psalms, many of them are 3,000 years old. They are the ancient prayer book and song book for the ancient Jews. The church from the very beginning adopted the very same practices.
The Psalms have inspired deep worship of Yahweh, soothed and comforted broken and downcast hearts, given hope and a future for the oppressed. Meant to be sung, there is no original music to sing the psalms by, but the psalms are so versatile, that any age, any culture can use their own music in singing and can experience the same experience that King David did 3,000 years ago.
Join us to learn how to read and pray through the psalms. Experience thankfulness and worship, even while exploring your own lament or sorrow. Learn more of the faithfulness of our God, and so grow in your faith as you enter into God’s presence and experience His joy, comfort, and power.
