 Discipleship
- We were made to grow.
That's God's design. All living things that are healthy...grow!
That truth extends to Christ followers as they build
their relationship with Him.
We should always be looking for ways to
build health, balance and growth into our spiritual
lives.
As we mature in our relationship with Christ we discover
love, peace, joy, freedom and a life more amazing than
we could have ever imagined!
Why Should I Attend an Adult Christian Education
Class?
A key to growing in your relationship with God is to
get into His Word and learn how we should live our lives
to please Him. Adult Christian Education (ACE) Classes
help you do that on a weekly basis, with encouragement
to study on a regular basis at home. ACE classes give
you the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and
learn from others. Some classes use printed curriculum
and study books with the Bible; others occasionally
use video series to aid in their study; and several
dig deep into books of the Bible. Many classes
mix these teaching styles up throughout the year to
offer more flexibility to your frequency of learning.
Another key to growing in your relationship with God
is connecting with other Christians on a regular basis. ACE
Classes offer small group opportunities for you to do
just that through their class time sharing and other
activities that they may plan.
You are welcome to visit the different classes to find
the topics and teaching styles that meet your needs
best. Let us know if you need help getting plugged
into an ACE Class.
