Adult Education
Faith Forum
Join members of this class for thought-provoking presentations and lively discussions as we explore some of the essential questions of our faith. Insightful perspectives are guaranteed. Answers are not.
Currently offered on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. either in-person or on Zoom.
Disciple
Disciple is a well-recognized curriculum that goes deeply into the Bible to help increase our understanding of the central text of our faith, as well as its history and context. Like all serious Bible studies, Disciple helps us know ourselves better, too. It takes considerable commitment — Disciple courses run for 32 to 34 weeks, requiring daily reading and a weekly class — but well over 100 NCC members have found them well worth the effort. We typically begin Disciple Bible Study courses in the fall or winter, depending on interest level.

Children + Youth Education
It takes a church community to raise a child in faith. At Niantic Community Church we believe that we are all teachers. Our goal is to start a journey with our children and help them come to know the love of God through their relationships with Jesus and each other. God meets our teachers where they are on their journey and they in turn meet the children where they are teaching them to embrace the lessons of the Bible. We teach them to go beyond the classroom and reach out to others.

Sunday School
Each Sunday our families participate in the first part of the worship service. Once the children receive the ‘children’s message’ they depart for Sunday School.
