True Believers Class<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Teachers: <\/span><\/p>\n

The lively discussion in this class stems from open sharing of ideas, opinions, and life lessons. While they have studied books by a number of authors, their first love is studying the Bible. Members enjoy finding new ways to understand God\u2019s Word and seeing its relevance to their daily lives. They share laughter, tears, church and personal concerns, and find strength through a weekly intercessory prayer circle \u2014 and lots of hugs. Grace is abundant and blessings flow as members grow closer to God and each other. Spiritual growth is evident and members of all ages invite you to join them at any time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Teacher: Terry Jonker<\/span><\/p>\n

The Studies in Faith class is a Bible-focused discussion group that utilizes a combination of open-Bible study, video-centered study materials, and other Christian books that focus on building and sharing our Christian faith.
