Adult
Classes |

One of the most convenient and effective ways
of growing in your understanding of the spiritual life is to
make a habit of attending one or more of the many classes
offered on Sunday mornings. There are more than 20 teachers at
SFC who have committed themselves to teaching over 40 courses
during the next few years. |

Bible Study (CBS) |

all members of our community. CBS makes every effort to stand
in the center of the mainstream of historic Christianity. We
concentrate on the essentials of the Christian faith, not on
denominational distinctives. |

Global
Outreach |
|
We as a church community are highly committed
to a broad worldview of ministry. We are committed not only to
sending financial support to missionaries and relief workers,
but we are willing to go ourselves whenever possible to meet
the needs of people around the globe. We are striving to bring
the gospel message to the most unreached populations, and to
alleviate poverty wherever we can make a difference, and to
bring encouragement, comfort, relief, instruction or anything
else that meets the needs of our international neighbors. For
more information contact Kirt & Lonnie Priest at

Mentoring and Spiritual
Direction |
|
Some people grow best in a context of
relationship with a mentor or spiritual director. While this
might be a new experience for many, it would be a grand
experiment for anyone. Thoughtful, well-trained people are
available for you to grow in this kind of intensive
experience. |
