The Christian Education ministry at Royal Lane is not merely another facet of our Church program. It is essential to our mission as a church. It is through our educational ministry that we seek better understanding of our own faith and growth as a community of Christ-followers.

Spiritual Practices with Scripture - Sundays at 9:45 AM
Open to all. This class is a different take on a "Bible Study." We'll learn and use spiritual practices done by ancient Church Mothers and Fathers to bring the church's weekly texts to life for today. We'll see scriptures from a new angle as we invite the Spirit into these times. No experience needed! This class is led by Brad Eason and is held at the home of Theresa & John Helms. Email Brad at with questions or to sign up!
