GROUPS AND CLASSES FOR EVERY AGE AND STAGE
September 14-November 16, 2025
You’re invited to Community Hour from 10:30-11:30 a.m. on Sundays starting September 14. Community Hour will help you practice the way of Jesus and experience greater community while getting connected. We offer several learning opportunities for adults and age-appropriate classes for kids and students from birth through age 18.
CLASSES/GROUPS FOR ADULTS
ECCLESIASTES MESSAGE DISCUSSION
September 14-November 16 (Off October 12) in the Sustad Chapel
Facilitator: Pastor Jodi Moore
Each week this fall, we’ll take the Sunday message from Ecclesiastes a little deeper—discussing its meaning, asking honest questions, and exploring how to live it out in our everyday lives.
ROOTED
September 14-November 16 (Off October 12) in the Vista Room
Facilitator: Pastor Brian Rhen
This is a 10-week experience designed to help you reexamine—or discover for the first time—the core foundational Christian beliefs. Whether you’re new to church or looking to reconnect with foundational beliefs, Rooted is a great place to start and involves a deep devotional encounter with God’s truth. More info/schedule.
WELCOMING THE STRANGER
September 14-November 16 (Off October 12) in the Triangle Room
Facilitator: Love Mercy Do Justice Team
Engage with our denomination’s thoughtful study on immigration, hospitality, and what it means to welcome others in the way of Jesus. This group, facilitated by our Love Mercy Do Justice (LMDJ) Team, invites conversation, compassion, and action. More info/schedule.
YOUNG FAMILIES GROUP
The Young Families Group will continue to meet during the Community Hour in Room 204. Learn more.
CLASSES FOR KIDS
During Community Hour, we will have programming for kids of all ages while their parents are in their classes or small groups. Our nursery will be open for those under three years old and we will have a class for our preschool through 5th graders! We will be using the curriculum, the Biggest Story to go through the Bible all together.
Our goal for our kids during Community Hour is to build relationships with adults and kids in the class, to create fun time for kids to connect as their parents are, and to have a second hour of discipleship for our youngest congregants.
IMPORTANT LOGISTICS!! Kids should not be dropped off without a caregiver in the building. A caregiver must remain in the building during our Community Hour to maintain safety for their children. Children should be checked in for service programming, checked out during coffee hour, and checked back in for Community Hour at the iPads in the upstairs kids hallway.
CLASSES FOR STUDENTS
Community Hour for students includes all 6th-12th graders and will take place in the Youth Room!
Our goal for this space is for students to connect with one another and adult leaders, and to interpret and look closer at the scriptures. Rather than just hearing a teaching, students will be invited to contemplate, and articulate their own thoughts and feelings.
We need volunteers! If you’re interested in helping out, please reach out to JDrew.
