Children in Worship invites children aged three through the Second Grade to Room 223 for their own special time to learn about worship, why it is important and what it means to us as believers. Children will come to the 11:00 am worship service with their families. Following the Children's Message, children will be escorted from the sanctuary. Parents are to meet their children in Room 223 following the worship service.
Middle School students enjoy the beginning worship and praise of the Asbury Alternative worship service and then move to the Youth Room (Room 214) for a lively discussion of what it means to be a teenage follower of Jesus Christ in today's complicated world.
High School students meet in the Youth Room (Room 214) at 11:00 am. Lively discussions challenge them to grow in their faith, to make a difference in the world around them and to discover the Promises made to them by God through his son, Jesus Christ.
Adult Education meets in the Parlor on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am. The adult group is currently reading the book Finding God in the Questions by Dr. Timothy Johnson, medical consultant for ABC's "Good Morning America." Our study is open to new members every Sunday.

Bad Girls of the Bible In Bad Girls of the Bible, author Liz Curtis Higgs offers a clear-sighted, life-changing approach to understanding those "other women" in Scripture—Delilah, Jezebel, Rahab, Lot's wife, and six more by combining a contemporary fictional retelling of their stories with a solid, verse-by-verse study of their lives and the lessons we can learn from them. Liz Curtis Higgs said “ For ten years I studied bunches of biblical role models and finally realized what we had in common: Zip. Sarah was so faithful. Esther was so courageous. Mary was so innocent. I was so none-of-the-above. Girls, it was downright discouraging. Then I found Jezebel and something inside me clicked. I identified with her pushy personality, I understood her need for control, I empathized with her angry outbursts, and I began to wonder...Could those Bad Girls from the past teach us how to be Good Girls in the present? I'm here to tell you—yes! Join Betsy Pugh in the Parlor on Wednesday evenings, beginning February 13th, at 7:00 pm for a lively study and discussion of the Bad Girls of the Bible
