Adult Classes are designed to help you grow in your understanding of biblical truths. These classes are based on specific topics and are usually offered in 6- to 12-week segments at 9:30 or 11:15 AM on Sunday mornings. We have terrific teachers and topics, and we hope you will take advantage of these extra learning opportunities.

Love and Respect.png

What’s the secret to a successful marriage? This marriage class will show that love motivates a woman and respect motivates a man. We believe so strongly in this class that we think every couple at The Grove should take it! Join us for this nine-week class through Dr. Emerson and Sarah Eggerichs’ Love & Respect series. Our next session will begin on Sunday, September 14 at 8 AM in Room D-2.

 
 

Come join us as we read and discuss John Bunyan’s story of Christian’s (and his wife Christiana) journey from the City of Destruction through the Slough of Despond to the Wicket Gate, past Vanity Fair, on the narrow - and only - road to the Celestial City and ultimate eternal life and rest in Christ. Dr. Troy Hinrichs, CBU Professor and one of our Lay Ministers, will be teaching this five-week class, beginning on Sunday, September 14 at 9:30 AM in Room D-2.

 
 

Do you want to learn more about God's heart for all people? The Mission of God Class exists to inspire participants to develop a passion and conviction to take a clear next step to engage in God's global purpose. During these seven weeks, through education, application, and Bible study, participants will explore God's great mission to redeem people from every tribe, tongue, and nation to Himself. Our desire is to see you move from awareness and exploration to passion and conviction for God's heart for the nations. Class begins on Tuesday, September 23 at 6:30 PM in the Chapel.

 
 

Would you like to learn more about Trusts and Wills? We'll be hosting two Q & A sessions in the Chapel on Sunday, September 28 at 5 PM and Monday, September 29 at 6:30 PM (you only need to attend one of the dates.) Representatives and material from the Christian & Missionary Alliance and the Baptist Foundation of California will be available, along with attorneys who are members of The Grove, to help you get started. All are welcome to come.

 
 

You’re invited to join us in this new class. Each week, we will be exploring how a biblical worldview provides clarity and direction in a world increasingly shaped by shifting cultural values and competing truths. Join us for this six-week class on Sundays at 9:30 AM in Room D-2 beginning October 19.

 
 
Spiritual Gifts.png

The Spiritual Gifts Class at The Grove consists of two sessions that help define the area of ministry for which you have a passion, what gifts God has given you, and the style of serving within which you will function most easily. Join us for both Friday, November 21, 7-8:30 PM and Saturday, November 22, 9-11 AM in Room D-2. Registration coming soon!

 
 

Do you know what having financial peace really means? Do you want to use money the way God intended? This class will teach you these things, plus so much more. Our next class will be offered starting January 11, 2026 at 9:30 AM. Registration coming soon!
