Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:18 (NLT)
Our Adult Christian Education programs are varied and plentiful at West Lawn. We have an assortment of Sunday school classes and Bible studies to dig into the Word and approach life from a Biblical perspective. In addition, we also provide Christian classes on marriage, parenting and finances. Sunday School classes, Bible Studies and Prayer Groups meet regularly at our Church and in homes.
Our small groups connect individuals in Christian communities. Within these circles, friends come together regularly to love and support one another as they draw closer to God, and live Christ-honoring lives. By empowering individuals and families through education and service opportunities, West Lawn has created a culture of discipleship. Together, we can show the world we are Christians by our love.
