Come, see what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word, the Bible.

Our classes meet weekly during the school year. Each adult class participant receives a course book with home study questions and commentary. There is also the option to do homework in an online format. Each week, you’ll participate in small group discussions and a time of teaching. Additional opportunities for sharing and relationship-building will be provided, woven throughout the year to strengthen our community as we study God's Word together.

Our Next Gen children's program offers classes for infants through teens during our Tuesday day class.

Infant and Preschool classes include weekly Bible stories, music time, gym time, crafts, and tons of fun!

Homeschool classes cover the same study as the adults (geared to their age level) as well as music and gym times weekly.

SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS!

Our 2026-2027 study will include a 6-week study of Colossians and a 24-week study of Genesis (chapters 1-22).

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN MARCH 31, 2026.

COLOSSIANS (6 WEEKS)

Paul wrote his letter to the Colossians with the purpose of encouraging them to hold firmly to God’s truth. He wanted them to know Christ well enough to escape the delusion and captivity of false teachings. How CAN we fight against worldly ideas that lure our minds away from God? Paul instructed the Colossians to not be merely familiar with Jesus’s words, but rather to let those words live inside of them. As followers of Christ, God calls us to bring His light to our communities. To be anchored in truth even when we are unsure of whether the world’s ideas fit with God’s plan. Dive into the book of Colossians as we deepen our understanding of Jesus as Lord of all, His people and the role of the Church, His identity and work, His sufficiency, and what it means to live in a community as those who are hidden in Him.

GENESIS (24 WEEKS)

Although Genesis is an ancient book, it speaks to some of the biggest questions we have today: Is there a God? If so, what is He like? Why is there evil in the world? Why are we here, and where can we find purpose and hope? In this course, which covers the first 22 chapters of Genesis, participants will see that God created a beautiful world and gave people a noble calling in His creation. It explains how our world was fractured by human rebellion and presents the beginnings of God’s plan to put everything back together.

Next Gen Ministry

Our program is designed to create a welcoming and enriching environment for children to explore the Bible, build relationships with their peers, and deepen their understanding of God's love. We believe that telling Bible stories is a powerful tool for teaching important spiritual truths while capturing children's imaginations.

Each week, in the Children’s Program (Infant & Preschool) we delve into a different Bible story using kid-friendly language and engaging storytelling techniques to make the message relevant and meaningful. Our Homeschool/Youth Program uses the same Bible book-study design as the adults with age-appropriate questions and teaching.

In both programs we include discussions and activities to help children and youth connect God’s Word to their own lives.

To keep our children and youth active and engaged, we include a dedicated gym time in our program. This provides an opportunity for children to burn off energy, develop social skills, and learn about teamwork and sportsmanship. Plus we build a connection to our bible lesson. We incorporate fun games, obstacle courses, and age-appropriate physical activities.

Music is a powerful way to connect with children and youth and enhance their learning experience. We use a variety of musical activities, including singing, movement, and instruments. Music can help children memorize Bible verses, express their emotions, and develop a sense of rhythm and coordination.

By combining Bible stories, gym time, music, snack, craft, and play, our children's Bible study program offers a comprehensive and engaging experience!
