Connect, Learn, Grow
Please check our COVID-19 page for information about whether classes are meeting or reach out to your class leader.
Sunday 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!

40 Years of Favorites
Hosted by Connection Point Class
Taught By Don Westerberg
Deschutes Room
Having had the privilege of teaching the Bible regularly for 40 years has allowed Don the opportunity to teach a broad range of Biblical passages. Certain passages have become personal favorites because they contain foundations of the Christian faith or because they contained comfort, encouragement, or guidance. We will be looking at some of these favorites. Hopefully, you will be reminded of some of the key verses that God has used in your life on the path of your own pilgrimage with Him and share one of your own favorites with the class.

The Gospel of Luke
Hosted by: The Come and See Class
Taught by Dick Middlebrooks
Columbia Room
"... And that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations beginning from Jerusalem." Lk. 24:47
This verse shows the heart of Luke's Gospel. Luke, the Gentile physician, presented a logical presentation of the gospel, with a foundation for a intelligent faith built on "exact truth" primarily for the Gentile world. He builds his case on historical facts, eyewitnesses, pictures, types, and prophesies from the Old Testament. There are many beautiful stories found in Luke that are not found anywhere else. I believe you will be greatly blessed by this study, so please join us.
The Truth of Genesis and Why It’s Important
January 5-April 5
Facilitated by Ron Spears and David Galvin
Join us at 9:15am in the Portland Room beginning January 12 as we explore evidence in the world around us that supports the accounts in Genesis 1-11. This information will help: 1) provide another avenue for people to come to faith; 2) strengthen Christians’ confidence in the Bible’s reliability; 3) prepare you to engage in meaningful, gracious conversation with those who may be promoting the secular theory of origins; and 4) show scientific evidence which better supports the Bible’s accounts of origins. Below is a tentative schedule of topics and speakers.
