Adults

 

In-person classes have been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic until the Session determines it is safe to resume.

 

The adult Sunday School classes have been combined into a weekly Zoom meeting featuring a combination of topical readings, Bible study, and guest speakers. The meeting begins at 8:45 am on Sunday with an informal "meet and greet" period. The program of the week begins at 9:00 am and typically ends by 9:45 am.

 

For information on attending the adult Sunday School class via Zoom, please contact Christy Williams, Director of Christian Education, at christy@oldfirstchurch.org.
