Pathways are groups of people aligned by age group who meet on Sunday mornings for the purpose of relationship building and spiritual development.
It is difficult to get to know people in 'big' church alone, so Pathways have been developed for the purpose of knowing others and being known by others in the body of Christ. All of the classes are practical, relevant, and are designed to help you grow in all of your roles - believer, servant, parent, and spouse. The teachers are first-rate, and the environment is open and friendly. And there is something for everybody.
There are Pathways groups, which are groups aligned by stage of life. These groups meet every Sunday for the purpose of relationship building and spiritual development. There are also various “electives” that are open to anybody. These venues focus on a specific issue and meet at various times throughout the year.
