Sunday School Class Information

Youth I

This class studies topics that touch the lives of youth today, spending time on current events/youth issues and what the Bible has to say. We strive to provide topics pertinent not just to Sunday morning but for everyday.

Youth II

The Youth II class doesn’t use any particular curriculum, scripture is taught and how it applies to life. The goal is to provide a little more in-depth discussion from Wednesday evening topics.

Adult Bible

This close knit group of “older generation folks” enjoys studying the Bible in a friendly group setting. We study a variety of topics, Biblical personalities, and sometimes use multi-session DVD series to dig deeper into the truth of God’s Word. This class is open to any adult.

Children's Program

Plainfield First Church of God's Wednesday Night Children's Program is held weekly at 6:30pm for all children ages 4 through 5th grades. We spend time hearing God’s Word and applying it to our lives, burning off our energy through games, and making a craft for us to enjoy.

• The children that are participating in the Wednesday night program also come for the meal, they are required to stay in the gym until 6:30 pm until the Children's Program staff and volunteers take them to class.  If the bathroom is needed at that time, please notify an adult.

“Plain Truth” Youth Ministry

All youth in grades 6-12 are encouraged to be a part of the Plainfield First Church of God Youth for Truth Ministry or “Plain Truth,” and 5th graders may join at the end of the school year. The focus of our ministry is helping our young people know and hold onto the truth of Christ in a world that will pull them in every other direction. Our regular meetings are Wednesday nights at 6:30pm in the youth room, and we also have some fun activities and service projects throughout the year.

.

Adult Bible Studies

We currently offer two Bible studies on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm.

• An Adult Bible Study is open to all adults and is held in room 105-106.  The study will be based in the book by Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life.  This study will be led for the most part by Pastor Jim Klock, but open discussion is welcomed and assistance in leading the discussion is encouraged.

• A Ladies Bible Study is held in Room 107.  The Ladies' Bible Study is currently studying Unglued by Lysa Terkeurst.  This study looks into our emotions and helps give insight into how to resolve conflict in healthy ways and improve communication with those whom you're in a close relationship.

There is something for everyone! Please join us!
