Adult Christian Education

Christian Education is a lifelong venture that includes struggling with scripture and the stories of our faith that challenge us to be in the right relationship with God and our Community. Now is the time to take the opportunity to become involved in short-term study or a year-long adventure.

 

At Martin, we are devoted to partnering with people on their faith journey. Some of us began that journey at childhood, while others came to a spiritual journey later in life. There is a need for all adults to find a place where they are encouraged and inspired to continue meeting God.

Sunday Morning Small Group

Please join Debbie & Steve Bryant for BRANCHES, a Sunday morning small group. Want more info?  Contact Debbie voldivers@att.net
All are welcome regardless of age, martial status, or church experience. We value diversity of life experiences and differing perspectives because we feel there is something to learn from each other. Our desire is to explore our questions and doubts openly through study, prayer, and discussion in a comfortable setting.  We believe this will strengthen us in heart, mind, and body as well as deepen our faith as we bear fruit and become the best BRANCHES we can be. Room C14
