There are four active Sunday school classes. Sunday school meets from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. between the two worship services. Each class brings its own unique perspective into studying God's Holy Word.

The Movers and Shakers class tends to be a young adult class. The studies in this class take the Bible and put it into a life application model. The question answered here is often: 'How do I live as a Christian and, at the same time, respond to the world in a Christian manner?'
They are currently studying "non-violence" and are led by Rob Resurreccion. |

The fourth class is a Presbyterian 101 class. In this class that cycles on an as-needed basis, we learn about and discuss what the Presbyterian Church (USA) believes, how it functions and governs itself and where it falls on different life issues. This is an excellent class for people that are new to the Presbyterian Church, or to people that just want to 'brush up' on their understanding of Presbyterianism.

In addition to our Sunday school classes there are several other mediums for group fellowship and Bible study.
