Adult Bible Fellowships (ABFs) are smaller communities within our larger church family that are committed to knowing and applying God's Word together in the context of warm and caring fellowship.

ABF classes meet weekly on Sunday mornings but also band together through periodic socials, outreach projects, and mission trips. See the schedule below for classes that are currently meeting.

All of our ABFs are open to newcomers and visitors at any time. Stop by and see which group you connect with the most! If you have further questions about ABFs or other ministries for adults, please contact Pastor Tim Bruns at 815-459-1095 (x 329) or tbruns@efccl.org.

Meridians

Currently, David Carlson is teaching a topical series on the certainties and uncertainties of life.

Primetimers

10:30 am • Room 212 • Email Bob

Led by Bob Bishop. The desire of this group is to continue serving the Lord and others in the "primetime" season of life. They are currently studying Galatians.

Three Strands

9:00 am  • Room 213 •  Email Brian

Led by Brian Barnes. Our new teaching leader, Gary Riendeau, is teaching a series called Worth Another Look: Undervalued Tenets of the Christian Faith. The intent of this course is to emphasize selected, established tenets of the faith that typically do not receive as much attention and consideration as they deserve. 

Email Gary for more information about the series.

Led by Janet Jean Dobda. This group is made up of women who are married, divorced, widowed, and single. All are welcome into a fellowship designed to encourage growth in faith and understanding of the Scriptures. Beginning in January: Five Old Testament Prophecies and How Christ Fulfilled Them.
