Mission:  To teach God's Word by precept and example so that

all may be led by the Holy Spirit to Jesus Christ and fulfill

God's purpose. 

 

 

"Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts

them intopractice is like a wise man who built his house on

The FAME Church School meets each Sunday from 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM.

The curriculum from Urban Ministries Inc. (UMI), provides the biblical foundation 

for our classes and allows every age to study the same passage through an 

age appropriate lesson. Because we value God’s Word we promote Scripture 

memorization in each class. We invite you to join us today!

High School Class

Ultimately, students must realize that they are sinners in need of a Savior and claim Jesus as their Lord!

 

Encounter Group

Started over 40 years ago, the Encounter Group focuses on the study of the 

Bible, Old and New Testaments, putting into context the relevance of history, culture, social beliefs and religious customs of that time. Discussions, often led by members of the class, center on how the study can be integrated with our daily living and challenges. Other books, illustrations, materials, personal sharing and guest presenters all point toward personal growth, spiritual development and building a lasting relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ.
