The Allen Sanders Fellowship Class began in 1972 to serve the spiritual learning needs of both couples and singles who are now ages 50-70. Rev. Allen Sanders served this church as an associate minister for many years and continued to serve in his retirement until his death in 2007. His message and memory continues to inspire the class members in their faith journey. His loving spirit is live and well at the ASFC! Our motto describes our essence: "We enter here a fellowhip. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree, always we love.

We use class members, outside speakers and video presentations for lecture and discussion. We seek to explore the Bible and study family and social issues. We feel that our class presentations and discussions are of top quality and are generally geared to uplift our spirits and bring us all closer to Jesus.

Special mission activities and projects are: Annual trip to Sager Brown, weekends to Mountain T.O.P., a mission in Eastern Tennessee.

Special Social Events: Spring or Summer Fling. Fall fish fry, Christmas Party and an occasional "Loaves and Fishes" dinner where the class gets together to cook out steaks and bring covered dishes.

Since the very beginning we have used the Adult Bible Studies International Lesson Series literature. Teaching is primarily lecture style and we appreciate all our teachers do.
