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.
