2.Study in the Song of Solomon – The family is the foundation of the Church and society and yet our family life is drastically deteriorating all around us. The Song of Solomon addresses this problem by focusing on the hearty of the family which is the husband/wife relationship.

Please join this study if you are interested in what God’s plan is for your family! Meeting in the Conference Rm – Led by Pastor Aaron.
3. Ladies Class – Job lived through the worst that can possibly happen to a person but his faith in God remained firm. What can we do to ensure that our faith remains strong in the uncertainty of future events? Join our Ladies Class as we study the book of Job January and February.
