Spanish Sabbath School Class

Starting January 4, 2025 • 10:30 AM

Sabbath School is the perfect setting to rediscover the power of Bible study and prayer. In one of the most diverse campuses in the nation, we aspire to allow all our church members, students, and guests to study and learn in their language. To further this, we are establishing the Spanish Sabbath School Class so all our Spanish-speaking brothers and sisters can join us in learning together weekly. With that, please grab your Spanish sabbath school lesson and join us starting Sabbath, January 4, 2025. The location will be announced soon.

Pioneer Operaring Budget

The first Sabbath of the New Year is an opportunity to press the reset button of our lives, goals, and relationship with God. If you keep a prayer journal, take it out sometime today and reflect on how God has led in your life and your family’s life. During this self-evaluation, ask God what changes you need to make for the coming year.
