Connection Classes are a great way to meet new people who have similar interests and passions in a much more intimate setting.
During the spring and fall semesters, a selection of topics, book studies, Bible studies, and theological issues are chosen to be discussed or taught in different demographic group settings.
These small groups meet on Wednesdays for 4 to 13-weeks (depending on the curriculum), at 6:00 p.m. in various classrooms on campus.
Wednesday Connection Classes
Connection Classes are held seasonally on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm
Fall Connection Classes begin Wednesday, September 2, 2026.
The Parent You Want To Be
When it comes to parenting, who you are is more important than what you do. After all, your child internalizes your traits more than anyone else on the planet. In this course, we will teach a plan for cultivating the traits you want your children to have and discuss the secrets to make your “internal traits” stick on even your worst days. We will be meeting in a classroom located upstairs, just past the KidsU area.
