We seek to stimulate each member's relationship with God so that each one becomes more fully engaged in service to their family, church and community.
We will attempt to meet the needs of others outside of class with community outreach. This will take on many looks, but the focus will remain the same: engaging as an ABF team to provide services of outreach to our neighbors. Many times these will be acts of kindness within our community. We will achieve this by equipping class members with the knowledge and ability to use their spiritual gifts for the glorification of God.
Co-Teachers: Kurt & Lora Miller and George May
This ABF is comprised of couples who are engaged or in their first few years of marriage.
• To assist couples in developing a solid foundation for a God-honoring marriage by providing biblical teaching on marriage and family related issues.
• To help couples to grow as a unified team and to work through difficulties and potential problem areas early in their marriage.
• To foster spiritual growth as an individual and as a couple.
• To assist couples in making the social transition from being singles to couples and providing an atmosphere where new friends can be made. Class activities and small groups provide extra opportunities for this.
Overcomers - Room FH303
Co-Teachers: Ray Naugle and George Hauber
Co-Leaders: George Painter and James Linville
The Overcomers are an ABF mainly 50 to 60-something. Our kids are mostly grown, some in college, some married with children of their own. We are married or single.
The class is a very friendly, informal and open class. Through caring and praying for one another, we have developed a wonderful Christian bond. We enjoy fellowship gatherings as well as creative get-togethers. In addition to maintaining e-mail communication with our missionaries, we also look for work projects and needs.
