Sunday Mornings – 9:45am

6th-8th graders (9-12 option) – 8-week study of Acts, by Louie Giglio.
“In a world that is unsure of where to find truth or purpose, the book of Acts stands apart. It reveals God’s plan for global redemption, his purpose for our lives, and the power he has given us to accomplish his mission.
Join pastor Louie Giglio in this eight-session series as he walks through the story of the early church. Acts may have been written two thousand years ago, but God is calling us to be a part of that story today.”

9th-12th grades can attend the adult men’s and adult women’s classes, or join the 6-8th grade class.

  • The Dudes (Men’s Class)
  • Getting Unstuck (Women’s Class)

Faith.Quest – 8th Grade

8th Graders have a unique opportunity on Sunday mornings to attend Faith.Quest, a class designed to teach students to go deeper in their faith, discover ways to link faith and life, find or renew a personal commitment to Jesus and His church, and embark on a journey of growth in that commitment to Jesus.

Faith.Quest students maintain a journal throughout the year and record thoughts, reactions, and questions about each weekly theme. At the end of the session, students have the opportunity to become members of Cedar Hills.

When the Faith.Quest session opens, all eligible students will be notified with start date and details.
