Currently Studying: Psalms

In 2026-27, we will spend 24 weeks studying Genesis and

6 weeks in Colossians.

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.

Colossians is a letter written to combat error in the church. Paul pointed the believers at Colossae to Jesus as the Head of His body, the church.

Paul also told the Colossian believers that they had fullness in Christ. The questions in this course are thought provoking and challenging.

MINISTRIES

Next Gen Ministry

Through a variety of activities such as Bible teaching, Scripture memory work, crafts, worship, games, and other activities, we seek to provide a welcoming and engaging environment where the next generations can learn about Jesus. Our offerings are tailored to a child’s developmental stage, starting with babies, and going through high school. Beginning in our elementary classes, our curriculum can be aligned with an adult class so that parents and their children may study the same Book of the Bible, enabling parents additional opportunities to assist their children in living out God’s truths in their lives.
