Unless otherwise designated, all ABFs meet during the second hour on Sunday mornings

The Disciplers Bill and Marilyn Raux, teachers Ephesians 4:11-12 And He called some…for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. We are people who desire to fulfill the legacy of Paul and the commission of Jesus to disciple men and women that they might come to full maturity in Christ. We study books of the Bible as well as books of commentary in order to find and know God’s truths, dispel Satan’s lies, and take these truths to the people in our lives so that they may grow with us.

The Branches Bill and Carol Wilder, teachers John 15:5,8b “I am the Vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit;…by this is My Father glorified.” Many of us are in a time of life with our children grown and we are looking toward the next transition – retirement from our secular jobs. The underlying question in all our studies is: What fruit am I going to bear for the rest of my life? To that end we purpose to bear much fruit, drawing our strength from Jesus, being pruned by God the Father, abiding in Jesus and having His word abide in us. We want our lives to demonstrate that we are Jesus’ disciples and above all we desire for God to be glorified by the fruit we bear.

Legacy Builders Dave and Brenda Cook, teachers Mark 10:6-9 But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his Father and Mother; and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together let no man separate. Our ABF is designed to encourage hearts, draw couples together and offer essential tools for a healthy, Biblical marriage. We are committed to creating an atmosphere in which we can be encouraged to love God in and through the marriage relationship. Our goal is to glorify God by loving Him, reflect the character of His Son in and through the marriage relationship, and become a legacy to future generations.

The Inheritors Milt Hamilton, teacher Psalm 71:18 Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed Thy strength unto this generation, and Thy power to everyone that is to come. We are seniors age 60 and up who desire to live as examples of Christ, to minister to those around us, and to faithfully honor the Lord in all areas of our lives. We desire to be prayer warriors, role models and mentors, share our wisdom in life’s experiences and have real Biblical fellowship together.

The Adventurers Pastor Mark and Cheryl Miller, teachers We are a group of couples and singles with children and teens whose focus is on developing biblical character in ourselves, creating intimacy in marriage and putting biblical childrearing principles into practice.

The Building Blocks Matt & Laura Wunderle, teachers Group designed for young, single adults who want to develop Godly character and respond biblically to the challenges ahead.

The Explorers Ray and Kristi Sigworth, teachers 6:30 pm Saturday evenings Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. We desire to minister to those young married and single adults who are entering early adulthood transitions such as marriage, career, and parenting. We desire to make God’s principles and wisdom the focus of each of those major life changes. All the members of our group seek to provide a support structure of fellowship, community, and accountability for each other. We seek to: Glorify God Unearth and discern the mystery of His Word Discover His will for our lives Encourage and strengthen one another
