The Learning Centre
As a community of disciples, we meet to study and learn in small-group settings every Sunday morning.
ADULT CLASSES AVAILABLE!
For us, the traditional ‘Sunday School’ takes the form of ‘The Learning Centre’, with options for all ages (meeting concurrently with both morning worship services).
- For children through Grade 5: TLC4Kids—a dynamic small group/large group program designed to help our children grow in wisdom, faith and friendship according to the model of Jesus in Luke 2:52. Children whose parents are in the worship service join the Learning Centre part way through the service; those whose parents are themselves in a Learning Centre group may join the pre-game action right from the start!
- For adults: Learning Centre groups meet to study various topics
- Adult groups meet alongside both worship services
- Middle School students meet for discussion during the 9:30 Family Worship Service. Senior High Youth but meet for discussion during the 11:00 Worship Service—_except for Communion Sundays_ (normally the first Sunday of each month), when they worship with the congregation.Contact Pastor Craig for details.
Come and join us on our journey!
