Section Title

We believe that the Christian life is meant to be lived in community. This means that we exist, in part, to build relationships with one another and to grow together in our love for Christ. At Smyrna, the way we seek such a biblical community is through our Sunday school classes. In Sunday school you will meet fellow believers who are ready and willing to encourage you in your walk and you will sit under solid biblical teaching which will serve in equipping you to live faithfully as you continue following Christ. Sunday school is a primary way to connect with people in our church in a more laid back, personal atmosphere. There is a class designed for every age group and stage of life so be sure to check out a class that fits you!
