Adult Education
At First Christian Church every person is important.  This is why we have so many small groups in which meaningful friendships are developed, and the one-on-one attention and fellowship that we all need can take place.  In these clusters of caring people, participants share and encourage each other toward spiritual growth.

Sunday Morning Studies 
  

Sunday School classes for adults are offered at 9:30 and 11:00a.m. each week.  These studies are designed to provide people with an opportunity to explore God's Word and apply it to their lives.  Schedules containing the exact locations of these studies as well as maps of the campus are available on Sunday mornings at our Welcome Center or can be picked up in the church office Monday through Thursday.

 

 

Tender Loving Care Groups

Tender Loving Care Groups are First Christian in action!  They are the church, being what God wants a church to be.  A "TLC" Group is a small group of people, meeting weekly in a home near you.  The focus of these groups is to fellowship together, study the Bible, help share burdens, pray together and grow together in Christ.  These groups also provide an opportunity to invite a friend to an informal, loving setting where he/she can meet other believers.  These groups are essential for your spiritual growth in Christ.  Therefore, we are asking every First Christian member and attendee to be part of a TLC Group.  A list of current groups can be picked up in the church office Monday through Thursday or in the Welcoming Center on Sunday mornings.
