Adult Sunday School Classes:
Keystone-Circle Fellowship Class- is a non-traditional class whose members share a common interest in responding to issues of social justice and contemporary solutions faced by Christians in our community. Class members share the responsibility for teaching and the class determines its own course of study, typically through the readings and studying of books selected by the members.
