Adult Spiritual Formation
We believe God created us to live in community with others, and that true life change happens in the context of relationships. Small Groups and Educational Classes are a way for us to connect with others and develop the full, mature life of faith He intends for us.

Homebuilders
Main Building Room 305
Contact: Trisha & Mike Carter, mtcjcarter@bellsouth.net mmffcc@yahoo.com
Homebuilders class has been around for years, but it continues to change and evolve. Most members of the class are 40-65years old. We typically use video-based studies that lead to interesting discussions. We love to gather outside of class for social events and try to do that quarterly. Serving together in the community with Huntsville First mission partners helps us to grow in faith.
Upper Room
Main Building Room 310
Contact: Myra Sanderson, mmsanderson@me.com
The class has focused on scripture with three major emphases. First, we look at the context of the scripture during the period in which it was written. Second, we highlight key Greek or Hebrew words that expand the meaning of the verses. Finally, we discuss how these may assist us in a better application of the scripture in our own lives. Presenting teachers bring additional highlights from theologians as well. At times through the year, we also determine if we want to change the format to bring variety to our study.
Additionally, one Sunday a month we invite a representative from one of the missions our church supports to expand our knowledge of these areas of need and service. We have worked together in many of the missions of our church. Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Habitat for Humanity, His Way, and Meals on Wheels are just a few of the missions we actively support. We also enjoy occasional social gatherings over dinner.
The age demographic is 50+. Although our class currently consists of older adults, we are eager to have any age group join us. We believe that in broadening our membership we will learn new perspectives and share life experiences that will be meaningful for all our classmates.
Faith Class
Main Building Room 313
Contact: Terry Lewis, terryTL@me.com
The Faith Class is a vibrant class of members age 70-90+. This class is always full of good Bible lessons and great discussion.

Strugglers
Main Building Room 220
Contact: Marilyn Hull, Marilyn.hull@me.com
The Strugglers Class is a great group of people mostly ranging in age from 50-80 years old, but with at least one class member in their twenties. Everyone is welcome, and we love to welcome newcomers to the class! Our name comes from recognizing that life has its struggles, but when we lean on God, and support each other in love, we can experience blessings even in the midst of our struggles.
We have interesting and informed studies of the Bible with great discussions. We often study a book of the Bible together, but sometimes approach the scripture in a topical study. Opinions and insights vary widely, and we grow from sharing the ways God speaks to us through scripture. We enjoy gathering for social activities as well as serving together with our mission partners. Some of our members are regular volunteers with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a wonderful ministry that provides beds for children in our community who do not have beds. Volunteers can participate in building the beds (with plenty of direction!), delivering the beds to the receiving families, and/or providing bed linens to go with the beds. We support other ministries, too, such as our Chapel Church Christmas bash.
