The Connections Class was established by the pastor years ago as an inter-generational group of church members and visitors. The pastor presents the class with the theme, background, and context, enabling the group to freely share their ideas, questions, experiences, and beliefs. It’s a fun class to be in, but it’s also a great learning vehicle for everyone who wants to grow in faith, biblical knowledge, and be with a group of people who are very supportive and always friendly.
