Adult Christian Education (Sunday Morning & Off-Campus)
Dedicated to Adult Learning and Spiritual Growth
Are you ready to grow, to learn, and to make friends? The Adult Christian Education classes are at the heart of what happens at ET. These groups not only provide opportunities to learn about God and his word, but provide the environment where people can make friends and build meaningful relationships. God works through people! And there is no better way to “connect” with people than by investing in a small group dedicated to spiritual growth.
WE HAVE A PLACE FOR YOU! The Adult Christian Education classes of Evangel Temple are a great way to meet other believers, build lasting relationships, and grow in intimacy with Jesus Christ.
Our mission in Adult Christian Education is to forward the mission of the church by equipping people to know and glorify God, and to develop a Christian worldview that leads to maturity and Christian witness.
Visit as many classes as you like! You may find you enjoy joining various groups for different topics and studies. Or, you may discover, as many others have, that one special class becomes your family and your home.
Other Bible study opportunities are offered through Men's and Women's Ministries.
