Meets in the Fellowship Hall room nearest Rudy's Room.
- Covenant Theology is taught by elder Noel Weichbrodt and Elyssa Weichbrodt, atr professor at Covenant College. This is a continuing class for the Fall. Those who attended in the fall are encouraged to return as well as any newly interested adults. Mets in the middle room of the Fellowship Hall.
- A study of the book of Hebrews will be led by elder Charlie Ingram. This is a continuing class from the Fall. Those who attended in the fall are encouraged to return as well as any newly interested adults. Meets in the Fellowship Hall room nearest the kitchen.
