 At St. James, we believe that our Sunday Bible Classes are the foundation of our church. We desire that every person who attends St. James finds a place in a Bible Class.
Bible Classes are the primary opportunity for Christian discipleship and growth. As our church grows, it becomes even more critical for persons to become part of a more intimate family unit that the Bible Class provides. Bible Class teachers should shepherd their classes and class members should care for one another.
As the mission statement says, all teaching should be Christ-centered and Biblically-based. We have many options in our Adult Division for you to find your place. Visit a class or two and make Sunday Bible Class part of your life. You will be greatly blessed if you do!
