The Bridge Class began in January 2024 with the 3-fold purpose of developing our relationship to Jesus by gathering to study the Bible, developing our relationship to one another in Christian love through prayer and fellowship, and reaching unbelievers with the good news of Jesus. Keith and Debbie Williams co-teach the class.

 
Our ministry team consists of Don and Debbie Nelson, Frank and Judy Stevens, and Stacy and Kellie Cody. Don Nelson is the class director. Mike Barry helps with hospital visitation. Wiley Wilkerson leads our worship songs with Karen Clogston on the piano. All our members participate in what God is doing at “The Bridge” whether by warmly welcoming one another, contributing to class discussion, or arranging chairs.

 
Our teachers use an inductive method of teaching through books of the Bible, along with occasional topical studies such as on Heaven and Angels. Our study format includes the use of various study guides to encourage independent study, class participation, and life application. We encourage members to reach out to those in the community with Bridge Class Invitation cards that have the plan of salvation.

 
We have quarterly fellowships with our largest gathering being our Christmas potluck where we take a free will offering for a community organization. This year, the offering was for Bibles for Christian Men’s Life Skills. We actively pray for one another by getting prayer requests each week and emailing them to the class. We have a meal train program for our sick or temporarily incapacitated members. We send out birthday, sympathy, get well, and anniversary cards to our members. The Bridge class participates in the Trinity Adopt-A-Grad program and encourages members to participate in ministries throughout the church. Quarterly supper clubs provide the opportunity for small groups of members to enjoy meals and develop deeper connections.

 
Our class consists of all ages and stages of life, married as well as singles. We enjoy lively discussions and fellowship and welcome anyone to come join us. We meet in the Chapel at 9:45 and are currently studying Hebrews.

 

 

 

Welcome to the Crossroads Class.  We are a class of many faces and many ages.  The Crossroads Class is a hard-working and praying class.  We find it gratifying to lift up one another in prayer.  We also love to hear the results of those prayers in praises for all the good things God had done!

   
We meet at 9:45 and are located in the Family Life Center because we are a sizeable class. Though we are a large class, we continue to have the ability to welcome new members. Gary Anderson is our main teacher. He has a vast knowledge of God’s Word, a great sense of humor, and when he has to be out for some reason, he finds just the right person to fill his shoes.

 
I am blessed to serve as the Director of the class and I welcome the opportunity to meet you personally and assist you in whatever way I can.
We look forward to having you join us in Bible Study worship.  Come give us a try, you’ll like us!

 

 

 

Happy New Year 2026! If you are looking for a new start to Bible Study, please consider checking out the Joyseekers Bible study class on Sunday mornings at 9:45 in room 224, upstairs from the gym.

 
Joyseekers is a group of warm and welcoming people in various walks of life, who have a desire to read God’s Word and dig deeper into the scripture passages through active class discussion. At the moment, we have two amazing teachers, David Sprouse and Jack Hayslip, who rotate teaching responsibilities. The class uses the Explore the Bible study guide published by Lifeway. The quarterly studies alternate between Old Testament and New Testament books of the Bible.

 
The class just began a study of Matthew. So far, the discussions over Matthew chapters 1-4 have been very active, so this promises to be another great study.

 
In addition to the study/discussion time, we begin each Sunday with a time of praises and prayer requests. Kathleen Cook does an incredible job of capturing these requests and publishing a weekly email with a review of our lesson and those requests for people we can pray for throughout the week.

 
Many of our class members are active in various activities around church including choir, CDO leadership, security, sound, Men’s and Women’s weekly Bible Study groups, Night in Bethlehem and the Stitchers group, just to name a few.

 
If you are looking for a Bible study class to be a part of, we would love to have you join us any Sunday morning at 9:45 in Room 224. The Joyseekers group will welcome you to our class with no pressure applied. Whether you choose to sit back and listen or jump right into our discussion, you will be welcomed!
