Sunday School Classes

Get Connected

We absolutely love coming together for worship on Sunday mornings, but let’s be real – one hour a week isn’t enough for deep relationships to grow. Get ready to dive deeper into your connections with others and with Jesus. Sunday School classes will take your relationships to the next level. No more surface-level stuff – let’s go deep together!

Age or stage in life doesn’t matter. We’ve got a spot with your name on it, where you can get connected and live life to the fullest. So, why wait? Join us and make lasting connections living deeply at Cedar Springs.

If you need help deciding which classes you should try, please reach out to Abby Fennell, Director of Connections. Use our Sunday School Class Map to find your way to classes.

Life Together Fellowship

Meeting Location: B207

The Life Together Fellowship class desires to grow in rich fellowship with God and one another through studying and discussing God’s word and worshiping together.  We seek to live in community as we bear one another’s burdens, pray together, and encourage each other to live missionally.  A ministry focus for many in the class is to serve in CSPC Children’s ministries one Sunday of every month.  We enjoy getting together outside of class throughout the year, and visitors are always welcome to join our discussion format class!

Pursuit

Meeting Location: B214/216

Facilitated by four mentor couples, the Pursuitclass focuses on biblical issues surrounding relationships and discipleship with an emphasis on individuals, couples, and young families in their late 20s through early 40s. Most of our couples are “young married” and have started their family.

Our teaching pursues Christ-center and mission focused discipleship; is led by one of our five mentor couples, a class member, or a guest teacher; and is always scripture based with a lot of discussion. Periodically we have a panel discussion during which our mentor couples field questions from class members. We sponsor several small group Bible studies and three community groups; support one missionary family; have organized socials; participate in ongoing service opportunities; and seek to care for and shepherd\one another.

Saints Alive

Meeting Location: B139

The Saints Alive Class, each Sunday, consists of a good time of fellowship over coffee and snacks, a time of updating prayer needs, and a time of Bible Study, either topical or from a particular book of the Bible.  We are currently engaged in a series entitled “Exploring the Holy Spirit” since Galatians 5 teaches us to walk in the Spirit and keep in step with the Spirit.   A hallmark of the class is hoping to make everyone feel welcome from the moment they enter the classroom.  We are primarily aged 60+, but not entirely, so all are invited, and we have several each week who join the class by Zoom.  Going forward, we will remain Bible-based, placing emphasis on personal growth, discipleship, and ministry to others. We are located down the Missions Hallway, just past the Welcome Desk and Welcome Center. Please contact Randy Overbey (865-805-7870) or at overbrm@comcast.net with any questions.

We also communicate through weekly email updates, an optional Facebook group, and Zoom (as necessary).

The BibleProject is a non-profit organization helping people experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. Our class will not meet on the second Sunday of each month so that participants can serve the church by volunteering in the Children’s Ministry.

When it comes to the Bible, its history, and its wisdom, we are an inquisitive and passionate group – diving deep in thoughtful study, active listening, respectful discussions, considerate discernment, and prayerful reflection. The Community Class does enjoy getting together with 4X4 dinner groups, pot-luck lunches, an occasional square dance. dinner on the docks, community service, and other class gatherings spread out throughout the year.
