Mount Hermon Small Study Groups
Mount Hermon Sunday School has a rich tradition and history. It continues to be a core time to build relationships and grow in our walk with Jesus Christ. Our classes provide a more intimate setting with smaller numbers leading to impactful discussion and growth. Connecting with our mission to Sprout, Grow and Bear Fruit, our ultimate goal is to enter our community as more focused and fruitful individuals.
Sundays begin with our optional Coffee Fellowship and then our Sunday School groups take center stage. Families and individuals have many choices to engage in the Gospel of Life.
Classes are provided for all ages from 9:30 to 10:45. Children’s Church is provided during worship for ages 4-8 along with a nursery for the younger children.

A growth group (grades 6, 7, and 8) is available on Sunday mornings from 9:30 until 10:40 am. The Middle and High Schoolers meet in a combined classroom to sing a worship song.

| Amen | Tim Thompson | Event Room | Year-round (Thursday evenings) |
The High School Youth meet upstairs in the educational building. We start in a combined classroom with the middle schoolers to sing a worship song and pray. The high schoolers then break off into a different classroom and study God’s Word and wrestle with questions and what it means to be a Christian.
Amen is an adult class for men and ladies of all ages. The Amen class meets on Thursdays at 6:30 pm. Low-key discussion about how the Bible relates to our everyday life provides an opportunity to get to know and invest in each other. Building and maintaining relationships is key in our Christian walk.

| Multiply | Steve Couch | Fellowship Hall | Year-round |
Our Multiply study group welcomes all ages and was named after the book Multiply by Francis Chan. Originally started as a “College and Career” class, it naturally became home to some “core” Mount Hermon congregants and then our Orange County Correctional attendees. It’s a diversified group and a blessing as we share with one another through our study of different books of the Bible. Lessons are very discussion-based, and focused on real-life issues and challenges as we grow in our faith walk. Currently, this class is working through the book of Acts.

| Cultivate | Shaina Riley | Educational Building (upstairs) | Year-Round |
Cultivate is a class of young adults. We start our class time by joining the youth in worship in a combined classroom upstairs in the educational building. After this, we break off and have informal conversations about books of the Bible and important spiritual concepts such as the Holy Spirit’s involvement in our lives.

| Friendship | Kathryn Dempsey | Hudson Classroom (Downstairs by the choir room) | Year-round |
This class has a rich history and continues to bless those that attend. Women of all ages study God’s Word with purpose and mission. During the year, the class enjoys different events like class luncheons and there’s always a desire to help someone in need.
We also have Wednesday night bible study and a student ministry meeting on Wednesdays from 6-7 PM we then have choir practice after these events. Wednesday night is a wonderful time of spiritual formation and growth.
