Sunday School is one of our main small group ministry areas.
Classes for all ages (birth to 99+) meet each Sunday and provide a unique community that seeks to know God, grow in faith and share in life’s joys and sorrows together.

Chapel Chats is our new Adult Sunday School class. This is a warm, grounded space for adults navigating the unique seasons of middle adulthood—from raising teens and supporting aging parents to balancing mid-career demands and preparing for the future. Through thoughtful Bible study, open discussion, and practical application, we explore how God’s Word guides us through life’s shifts, challenges, and opportunities. Beyond Sunday mornings, it’s a community of peers who encourage one another, share life’s joys and burdens, and grow deeper in faith together.
