Education Ministry
In addition to worshiping in the sanctuary with the entire congregation, we encourage people to serve and participate in other areas of body life -- working in the nursery, teaching children, ushering, and singing in the choir are just a few of the many examples. The most important way to participate further in the body and to receive biblical teaching is to participate in our education ministry. By attending a mid-sized Bible study group that allows for more connecting than the large group worshiping in the sanctuary, you receive systematic learning, and a sense of belonging and mutual care.
Bush offers several options to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ in a systematic way through Bible Study Groups for all ages. We also have other means of spiritual growth through the course of the year which we encourage you to participate in. Sunday School starts at 9:45 on Sunday mornings. You can find out more about the Children, Youth and College groups in those sections of the website. Following is a list of the groups we currently have available for adults.
