Contact: Jim Newman or Grady Sanborn | Lead Shepherding Elder: Jim Newman; Meets on the First Floor of the E-Building Near the Gym (West side of Church) in Room E125/126.; Zoom available. We are a class of single and marrieds of all age ranges. We desire to know and be known by one another as we grow in the Lord. We sit at assigned tables each Sunday, alternating table group members yearly. Our table groups minister to one another provide fellowship, prayer, and accountability, and also support to our missionaries. Our teachers and subjects change, but the pattern is the same: a teaching time followed by table group discussion to help us apply what we’ve learned. Our visitors’ table provides a welcome place to see what we’re all about.
