For many, adult education is their favorite part of the Bloomingdale Church experience. Many people like the fact that they can speak out, ask questions, and interact with people. They learn far more from a good class than by simply reading or listening to a lecture. They like the wide range of courses that are offered on weekdays as well as during adult education (Sundays, 9:45 AM).
You are welcome to join the class any time.

March — May

Heroes of the Faith
Every week during the summer a different teacher will present their spiritual hero. These heroes include Biblical characters, great people from church history and even relatives who impacted our lives for eternity. This class will run from June 6 – August 29.
