Our Discipleship Team's charge is to make disciples of Jesus Christ through outreach and mission activities, and to equip disciples through Bible Studies, Sunday Morning classes for all ages and stages. We sponsor an annual Vacation Bible School, and courses like the Alpha Course and a class that leads folks to read through the Bible in Ninety Days. Beth Croix, Scott Nance and Steven Scott are the elders that lead this team.
All of our Sunday Morning Classes, for children, youth and adults begin at 10:00 a.m. next door in the My Great Beginnings Learning Center. Our Nursery is open for infants through 4 years old in our facility in our new expanded Nursery.

Newcomer's Class
What does it mean to follow Jesus? If we're Presbyterian, why do we say we believe in the catholic church? What is the best way to baptize? Who can take communion? Why are there so many different denominations?

Throughout the year Pastor Jim offers different versions of this class which is designed to answer your questions and to assist you in your journey of faith.

Alpha Course
Alpha Course
Everyone is welcome on an Alpha course and people attend for a wide variety of reasons. Some want to investigate whether God exists and if there is any point to life; others are concerned about what happens after death. Still others may have attended church on and off all their lives, but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith.
People come from many different backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints - but all come with the same objective: to establish whether Jesus Christ has any real relevance for their lives.
What does it cost?
All it costs is your time and interest. we will provide the materials. You are welcome to join us the next time we offer it.
