Adults

We believe faith is a journey, not a destination:
Fellow travelers welcome.

adult Discipleship

We offer a variety of spiritual growth opportunities to choose from, including Adult Education classes, Small Groups, and separate programs and retreats for men and women, and many other fellowship opportunities.

Our hope is that these programs will spark your interest and ignite within you a deeper awareness of the spiritual issues of our time, a deeper understanding of God’s teachings in the Scriptures, and a deeper love of Jesus Christ.

For more information about our adult ministry,

Small groups

At APC, we believe that God designed us for relationship. We flourish and grow when we are known in the context of committed and authentic community. As Christians, we particularly need fellow journeyers to walk with us as we seek to follow Jesus. This is why we encourage everyone to be a part of a small group.

Small Groups are spaces to gather together regularly outside of Sunday worship with others who are seeking to follow Jesus in their everyday lives. During your small group, you'll find connection and fun as you strengthen your relationships with others and you'll find depth and growth as you strengthen your relationship with God.
At APC, we believe so strongly in the power of a small group for your spiritual growth that we encourage every adult
to participate in one!

Most – though not all – of our groups consist of about 7-11 people, meet three times a month on campus or in peoples’ homes, and use the sermon series as a guide for discussion and reflection. We have several groups that are geared toward a particular demographic, meet online, or follow different curriculum based on their interests.
     
   We have groups for women and men, for young moms, for couples, for young adults,
and for “People of a Certain Age (60+/-)”.

Sign-ups are currently closed.

sundays

Christian Education

Adult Education meets on Sunday mornings from 9:45-10:45am, in Schulte Hall.
We offer a range of classes throughout the year, helping to shape and form our minds
and our imaginations as we seek to follow Jesus with our whole lives.
Join us in-person or watch online here.

Start Here: New MEmber Class

Twice a year, we offer a class for adults who are new to faith or new to APC. This class will introduce you to the basics of Christian faith and offer an opportunity for those interested to formally join the church.
