Equipping Hour classes are taught lecture-style by DCC pastors, staff, and leaders every Sunday at 9 a.m. for all ages and interests. Participate as you are able and drop in and out of classes as your schedule allows. No homework is required.
We can only cover limited ground during our Sunday gatherings. Therefore, these classes are meant to provide additional learning environments, across an array of topics, for the purpose of discipleship–and the glory of God.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” – Jesus (Mt. 22:37)
CKids and CYouth classes are offered every Sunday during adult classes and will all be based on the same Gospel-centered curriculum, varying in level of depth.
CKids: Nursery-2 Years, 3-5 Years, 1st-5th Grade*
Parents, please lead your kids downstairs to CKids check-in before going to your class.
CYouth: 6th-12th Grade

*Availability is first come, first serve. If no spots are available, kids are invited to join their parent(s) in class.
