Couples In Christ - Sundays at 10:00 AM (Room E-203)
Couples in Christ are classes designed for those in their 30’s-40’s who aren’t new to being married and are in the middle of raising their families. We believe God’s Word gives us the guidance necessary to be better spouses and parents and to better handle the ever-increasing pace of life. We look forward to studying the Bible together on Sundays, and getting together for fun and friendship throughout the week.
YC3 - Sundays at 8:45 AM (Room E-106)
In YC3, we minister to young couples in their 20’s-30’s. YC3 is about developing genuine community with other young, married adults and learning biblical truth that will change your marriage and family life for the better. We don’t just attend class together on Sunday, we are friends who enjoy meeting with each other throughout the week. We plan a monthly party night where everyone can get together in an informal setting and strengthen existing friendships while forging new ones.
Sequoia Sisters - Sundays at 8:45 AM (Room E-104)
The sequoia tree grows to astounding heights by leaning on the other sequoias growing around it. The Sequoia Sisters is a ladies’ class committed to growing tall and strong in the Lord by leaning on each other as we look to God and His Word for nourishment. We do various women’s studies like the Women of Faith Study Guide Series when we are not doing a church-wide series. We enjoy socials such as miniature golf and eating out together. We are dedicated to service such as adopting needy families at Christmas. We strive to be fragrance free out of respect for those who are sensitive/allergic to chemicals and perfumes. Married and single ladies in their 30’s-50’s will find a home in our class as we challenge and support each other to new heights.
Fellowship - Sundays at 10:00 AM (Fellowship Hall)
Fellowship is a class of those in their 60’s-80’s who have learned well the lessons of life and know how to love and care for one another. This large class has some of the finest Bible teachers at Glen Meadows leading in the study of God’s Word every Sunday.
Friendship - Sundays at 10:00 AM (Room E-101)
This small group loves the Lord and loves each other. “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father, I have made known to you.” John 15:15. The Friendship class is made up of seasoned saints in their 70’s-90’s who still enjoy learning new things about God and life. We meet every week for fellowship and to increase our knowledge of God and His ongoing purposes with our life. Outside of church, we go on regular activities with the Silver Stars, a senior’s organization at Glen Meadows.
Sisters - Sundays at 10:00 AM (Room E-102)
This ladies’ class in their 50’s - 70’s study the Bible together, pray for one another and encourage one another. Our relationships transcend our Sunday morning gatherings as we frequently find ourselves getting together throughout the week just for fun. Careful attention is paid to the study and teaching of the Bible as we believe that it is God’s living Word.
Saints - Sundays at 10:00 AM (Room E-203)
The Saints are a group with lots of energy and who serve the Lord in various ministries during the week and come together on Sundays to study the Word, pray and encourage each other. Comprised of adults in their 70’s-80’s who aren’t ready to slow down, the Saints meet regularly for fellowship and fun.

Joy - Sundays at 10:00 AM (Room E-104)
“For You have made me rejoice, Lord, by what You have done; I will shout for joy because of the works of Your hands. “Psalm 92:4. In the Joy class, we are a group of ladies in our 60’s-80’s who truly believe that the joy of the Lord is our strength. We love to study the Bible and discover together the great truths that God has placed there for us. If the joy of the Lord is our strength, our care for each other is a close second!

Generations - Sundays at 10:00 AM (Room E-103)
Generations is a multi-generational class of adults in their 40’s-60’s who believe in not just studying God’s Word, but in applying it as well. We are concerned with the transformation of our own lives as we submit ourselves to God and His Word, and the lives of others as we reach out in invitation asking them to join us on this marvelous journey of faith.
Genesis - Sundays at 11:15 AM (Room E-101)
Genesis is a Life Group designed for couples who are “in the beginning” of their relationship: whether your relationship is just beginning to get serious, you are in the beginning stages of planning your wedding, or you are beginning your journey as husband & wife. We will look at what the Bible says about marriage and how to stay together once you have tied the knot. We will study ways to draw closer to God as you draw closer to each other. Genesis is a great way to meet other couples that are “in the beginning” too. We offer monthly fellowships that are cheap and fun. Come join us Sunday mornings at 11:15 AM in Room 101 as we explore what being “in the beginning“ is all about.
Singles - Sundays at 11:15 AM (Room E-102)
Whether you’re single or single again, you’ll find encouragement and solid teaching of the Bible in this class with an emphasis placed on personal application. Singles of all ages are welcome to join us every Sunday as we “do life together” learning how to live single in Christ.

If you’re in college or have recently graduated, you’ll be at home in GMBC’s college ministry. Join us every Sunday for dynamic fellowship and applicable teaching of the Bible.
