Bible Class
Bible classes is a vital part of the vision of MJ. Through our classes, we strive to encounter Scripture in a way that helps us draw closer to our Creator and build relationships with other beleivers.
Main Class Periods:
Sundays 9:15 AM
Wednesdays 7 PM
Monday Men’s Class: 10 AM
Tuesday Ladies Class: 10 AM
Wednesday Afternoon: 2 PM
Sunday Classes
Our MJ Kiddos have classes from birth to 5th grade, and our MJ Youth has classes from 6th to 12th grade.
Adults, on Sundays, are encouraged to find a class where they can find other believers they can grow alongside. Each Sunday, the adult class has a shepherd assigned who looks after that class and helps them grow spiritually. We encourage you to try several classes as you look for a good fit!
Our classes serve as the hub for spiritual friendships within the church. Classes regularly have activities outside of class, service opportunities, and look after one another.

Loving People Who Are Hard to Love
This study will focus on Paul’s instructions to the church in the book of Romans about how to deal with difficult people in your life.
- Tim Martin | 201
Diving Deeper: Signs of Their Times
Studies of Revelation are most often obsessed with an effort to dogmatically assign its elements to past or future historical events. This study will instead focus on the theological meaning of these visions to its original audience as a persecuted people of God. We will also analyze the book’s pervasive symbolism and Old Testament imagery as well as the relationship of Revelation to Jewish apocalyptic literature.
- Matt Cauthen & Bryan LeMasers | 203
Concerning the Way
The Church—a simple yet complex concept. This class aims to explore several important questions: What exactly is God's calling and guidance for his people? What are the underlying purposes and motivations that guide our priorities and actions? How should we navigate the tension between truth, obedience, liberty, and unity? With these questions in mind, we will cover topics from worship practices to gender roles to church discipline.
- Lynn Dearing, Stephanie Gastley, Karri Tucker, & Dayna Suttles | 211
Amazed By Jesus
We will study the life of Jesus as covered in the four Gospels, from his miraculous birth through his over three-year ministry. No one was ever quite the same after encountering Jesus, who taught, encouraged, challenged, rebuked, prophesied, and performed miracles. Taking a closer look at his life over 2,000 years later, it is no wonder why we are still amazed by him.
- Kristy Coleman & Travena Rogan | L11
Running On Empty: A Study of Ecclesiastes
We have lives that are full - full bellies, full closets, full calendars, full email inboxes - but at the end of the day, we feel empty. Join us as we discover a fresh perspective from the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes and learn how to live a full life, God's way.
- John Coleman, Josh Horn, & Kim Yap | 110
Faithfulness through Transitions & Disappointments
A study of how God’s Word provides examples and teaches us to maintain our faith during life challenges, changes, disappointments, and frustrations. We will dialogue together as we discuss how to keep our focus on God through these challenges.
MJ Kiddos
From birth to 5th grade, our MJ Kiddos have learning opportunities within their age groups every Sunday and Wednesday.
MJ Youth Group
To put it simply, we believe strongly that the Bible ought to be taught to our youth in Bible class. Whether you come on a Sunday morning (where our classes are divided by grade) or on a Wednesday night (consisting of together-time and time in small groups we call “Cocoons”), it’s our goal here to teach the Word of God creatively and effectively.
Other Class Periods
In addition to our regularly scheduled classes for all ages, we have some special class periods for adults during the week.
- All Men | 110
Men’s Class

Ladies’ Class

The Spirit of Truth: This eight-lesson series will cover the Holy Spirit’s activity in the Bible, his indwelling in the people of God, his role in salvation, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and other general topics about this oft-ignored personality who fulfills an important role in the lives of God’s people.
