ADULT CLASSES
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25:35-36
Some of the Adult classes this fall will emphasize Community Awareness and how to truly live out the gospel of Matthew 25. Learn more about your community and join in the excitement for one or all of our programs.
