The Seekers
The Seekers is a small group of mature Christians who continue to seek God’s message in today’s environment. We alternate Bible study with more contemporary study options, such as J. Ellsworth Kalas’ Detective Stories from the Bible. Advance preparation is not required to attend the Seekers—we read in class, stop whenever something grabs us, search for parallels from our readings into today’s headlines, and generally try to make sense of life in today’s challenging climate. Some of us see the world slightly differently than others, so discussions can be lively, entertaining and always enlightening.

The Discovery Class
THE DISCOVERY CLASS is committed to discovering spirituality in all of its forms. We are open to learning about and exploring different paths to a connection with God, which include Christianity, Judaism, Islam and many other faiths. We generally use a book to guide our discussions, but also include newspaper articles, information that attendees have discovered, and anything that we feel would be useful in our journey to understand the mystery. We have open discussions, questions are encouraged, and every opinion has value. There is no leader in this class. We decide as a group which direction we would like to take. Anyone is welcome to attend at any time. Discovery meets in the Education Building, north west corner, top floor.

The Space Class
SPACE is a group of 30-40 somethings (give or take) interested in learning and discussion about God, life and the Universe. We meet Sunday at 9 a.m. next to the second-floor elevator.
Why SPACE? Because we want to make space in our hearts for God. We want to make space in our lives to show other God’s love. We want to make space to discuss the problems and questions we have. Also, Space is really cool.

The King Sunday School Class
We are a group seeking to grow our faith in order to be more effective witnesses for Jesus Christ. We read a variety of contemporary Christian writers, including Maxie Dunnam, William H. Willimon, Adam Hamilton, J. Ellsworth Kalas, and James W. Moore. Our selections are read in class and include scripture with questions for personal reflection and spiritual growth. We share group joys and concerns each Sunday and support each other through prayer and friendship. We meet in Fellowship Hall, near the stage. Due to the pandemic, we are currently meeting via Zoom at 9:00 AM on Sunday mornings. All are welcome!
