Sunday School Classes & Small Groups Discipleship ministries for adults of every age and stage.
A fun and funny group of adults of all ages—couples and individuals, including parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. We study the Bible verse by verse and enjoy occasional “deep dives” into interesting topics such as What are angels? In the summer, we watch and discuss The Chosen or other Christian videos and books. We look forward to meeting you!
A small-group style round-table with weekly discussions on modern Christian living. Most attendees are mid-life parents with teen or young-adult children. Classes are informal with rotating discussion leaders drawn from class volunteers. Common topics include: parenting, work-life balance, current events, and ethics from a Christian/biblical perspective. Perfect for drop-ins and those searching for a warm, open-minded Sunday school home.
The Interpreter’s Class was founded in the 1970s and is the longest-standing Sunday School class at Signal Crest. While most current members were not here in the ’70s, they have joined for the outstanding fellowship built through shared Christian experiences.Most members are retired and empty nesters.
A relaxed yet spirited group that meets weekly to connect and partake in a faith-centered lesson. Mostly made up of parents with preschool and elementary-age children. This group also meets monthly for fellowship outside of class.
A small group dedicated to supporting and caring for one another while enjoying fellowship and fun along the way.Together, they seek to grow in faith and in living out the Christian life through studying the Bible, exploring current texts, and sharing personal experiences. Currently, the group is studying Relentless Love of Jesus by Brennan Manning.
