SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES AND SMALL GROUPS

Following in the footsteps of our Founder, John Wesley, we believe that small groups are central to our growth and spiritual development. Our Sunday School classes and small groups offer this environment providing support and accountability with other Christian followers. We have several classes and small groups to choose from. We welcome you to visit these classes to find the right fit for you.

Bible Foundations

In-Person (Room 434) and via Zoom

A fun and funny group of adults of all ages—couples and individuals, including parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. They study the Bible by reading verse by verse and enjoy deep dives into engaging topics like “What are angels?” In the summer, the group watches and discusses The Chosen or other Christian videos and books. They look forward to welcoming new members!

Faith, Friends and Family Class

The Chapel Room 434

A small-group–style round-table with weekly discussions on modern Christian living. Most attendees are mid-life parents with teenage or young-adult children. The class is informal, with rotating discussion leaders drawn from class volunteers. Common topics include parenting, work-life balance, current events, and ethics—all explored from a Christian and biblical perspective. It’s perfect for drop-ins and anyone looking for a warm, open-minded Sunday school home.

Interpreters

Room 401/433

The Interpreters class was founded in the 1970s and is the longest-standing Sunday School class at Signal Crest. While most of the members of this class were not here in the '70s, they have joined this class for the outstanding fellowship gained through shared Christian experiences. Most of the members of this class are retired and empty- nesters.
