The adult Sunday school ministry of Bethany (“Adult Bible Communities” or simply ABC’s) gathers weekly at 9:00 & 10:30am to pray, teach God’s Word, grow in discipleship, serve in the church together, and help start new community groups. Our ABC’s aim to apply God’s word to life’s circumstances in a cross-generational, discipleship-focused environment (Heb. 10:24-25).
It’s easy to feel lost in a large church, so we want to make it simple for everyone to get connected with other believers. This list of classes is a great starting point. When you decide to try one out, there’s no need to RSVP — just show up this Sunday. And if you’d like more information, simply stop by the Welcome Center and we’ll help you get plugged in.
