Our Sunday Morning Bible Study serves as the discipleship and ministry foundation at King’s Grant Baptist Church. Our church motto is “Knowing Christ and Making Him Known” from which our two-fold goal is derived:
- To provide an opportunity for people to know Jesus better, and,
- To challenge people to take the life-transforming message of Jesus to others.
Below you will find a listing of the adult groups meeting on Sunday mornings.
We value Bible study because…
Spiritual teaching and community lead to transformed lives;
- People matter to God;
- We value Christian fellowship;
- Those who live without Christ should have the opportunity to hear about him in a small group, non-threatening environment;
- We want to encourage and spur one another on to love and good deeds;
- We believe that connection to a church body is facilitated through small group involvement.
We provide an opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to be involved with small group Bible study. We have classes that meet every Sunday morning from 9:45 until 10:45. Our preschool classes meet on the first floor of our Education Building and our children and youth classes meet on the second floor. Our adult classes are spread throughout the rest of our building.
