Sunday Morning Bible Hour (9:00 am)

Adult Bible Study - While the kids are at Sunday School, the adults gather for an hour of Bible study in our fellowship area. We study various books and teachings of the Bible and how they apply to our lives. We often take topics like how to study the Bible, Christian living, prayer, worship, and many others. We also look at issues like dealing with family conflict, living in a hyperconnected world, responding to challenges and blessings, and others. In our current series--Freed in Christ, Freed to Serve: The Christian Life in Christ According to the 10 Commandments, we're getting a better understanding of what our life in Christ looks through what God tells us in the 10 Commandments. Hope to see you there!

Early Childhood Sunday School - Children from age 2 to grade K are invited to join us each Sunday in the cry room at the rear of our sanctuary for Early Childhood Sunday School. The children will enjoy getting to know their Savior Jesus through interactive songs, stories, fun crafts and hands-on activities. We ask that a parent or guardian be present in the building during the class to take care of any discipline or bathroom issues. Caregivers are invited to attend Adult Bible Study in the fellowship area. 

Elementary Sunday School & Teen Class - Students in grades 1-12 are welcome to join us each Sunday for Sunday School! Children in grades 1-7 learn Bible lessons, sing songs, and have fun getting to know their Savior and his Word better. Grades 1-3 meet at the rear of the sanctuary, while grades 4-6 meet in the classroom area. Student in grades 7-12 will dig deeper into God's Word with a topic study geared for teens. Teen class meets in the kitchen.

Bring your kids so they, too, can discover what God has for them in his Word!

Growing in Hope is a relaxed pace, 17-lesson, introductory study of Bible basics open to anyone interested in finding out more about what God has to say to us in his Word for our lives today, especially anyone who is interested in becoming more involved as members of Cross of Christ. It's also a great refresher if it's been a while since you last covered the basics of God's Word. There is no obligation to join our congregation if you choose to take this course.

This Bible study is a great way to get your faith and knowledge of God's Word strengthened. It is also the best way to really see what we believe and teach about God's Word. Everyone who takes this course takes a lot out of it and really grows in their hope and faith in God. Held at various times and places to meet the needs of those who want to take it. Contact Pastor Gumm to start a new session!

During the course of the school year, we offer a number of Bible study opportunities for families and specific groups. These Bible studies not only provide the opportunity to dig into God's Word with fellow believers, but to enjoy some fellowship time as well. Here are some of the opportunities planned for the coming months:

- CCC (Cross of Christ Collegiates) Bible Study - Open to all undergrad and grad students. Our current study is The Idols We Never Knew We Had, which runs through the end of the school year. We meet bi-weekly via Skype. Contact Pastor Gumm for more information!

- Women's Bible Study - Meets bi-weekly in a home on Friday mornings in the fall. Watch for more information later this year!

- Advent Night - On the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, we hold our annual Advent Night where we gather as a family in Christ to prepare our hearts for the coming of our Savior. We hope you can join us!
