Adult Sunday School

In a day when houses no longer have front porches, the workday lasts far too long and weekends are filled with too much activity.  It's hard to find and maintain good lasting relationships with other adults. Many of us do not even know our next-door neighbors. In that same hectic world when you feel the weight of the world is on your shoulders, you also had better be standing on solid ground or you'll slowly start sinking in the mire of the world. Western Avenue's Adult Sunday School can help you with those problems. 

 

In our Adult Sunday School, you will find that there's a class just right for you to make new friends who will help you enjoy the high marks of life and stand beside you during the rough stretches. You'll also start learning Biblical truths to support you and your family. Most of our classes work through the Bible one book at a time to see how God has revealed Himself to us in His Word.
