All classes (with the exception of the Campus Connection) are open to all desiring to participate. They are grouped loosely by age and/or stage of life, however no one should feel excluded from joining any of them, as there are many exceptions. The groups listed on the opposite side of this sheet are mostly available to all, though some are for specific groups (such as men only) as listed. Also some groups are closed to others once they have begun. Please see contact person. Our church also has numerous other groups with other areas of focus (such as ministry teams, sewing, camping, exercise, youth and children) not listed here.
