Adults
The goal of our educational ministries is to glorify God by making disciples. We trust in the power of God's Word to change lives. Because of this we offer several different opportunities for adults to pursue maturity in Christ through Bible study, service, and relationships.
Adult Bible Fellowships (ABF)
Our Bible Fellowships exist to be far more than just an hour-long activity on Sunday mornings. The ABFs bring our commitment to teach God's Word into the context of a prayerful and ministry-minded group of adults who are interested in living life together. Each ABF is organized around a structure that exists to accomplish this purpose:
- Teaching - God's Word is central to our spiritual life and vitality.
- Reaching - We seek to make a place where people who do not yet know Christ can find a fellowship of people who lovingly witness to the reality of Jesus Christ.
- Ministering - A growing church needs as many people as possible ministering to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs within the congregation. Adult Bible Fellowships are vital to the work of engaging men and women in ministry within the church.
- Caring - Everyone wants to be truly known and loved. We do not want to be a gathering of strangers every week. We encourage everyone to be involved in an Adult Bible Fellowship in order to get connected in spiritually-nurturing relationships.
The ABFs are open groups and can be joined at any time during the year. You are welcome to visit any of the groups. The age-graded categories are suggestions to assist you in choosing a group in which to belong. They are not hard-and-fast divisions.

We hope you will join an ABF. There is simply no better way to get and stay connected to your brothers and sisters at Metro East. They are an essential part of our church's health as various ministries and a great deal of congregational care depend upon the service of these groups.
