Questors Class assists many charitable causes locally and across the globe through donations and hands-on assistance, with class members providing input on which causes to support.
The Questors group encourages involvement by all members. Sharing our joys and concerns, Questors provide a personal, caring, and supportive environment. The group is particpatory, friendly, and eclectic. Visitors and new members are welcome.
Here is what some members have to say about Questors:
"If you are looking for Christian fellowship in study and in practice, Questors is the class for you. It is more than a class where you study the Bible, discuss ethics and how to share Christ's message with a needy world. Its members really care about you. This commitment to each other is nurtured by monthly social activities, e-mail messages about how we can help one another and substantial contributions to our church, neighborhood and broader world. Would you believe Questors has 31 involved officers? If you want a lively, interactive class, join us!" Ginny Lacy
"I really enjoy Questors. My wife was already attending class when I first visited. I wasn't sure why she enjoyed Questors until their friendliness and humor made me feel so welcome. Every Questors class is different with a variety of subjects and speakers. I'm never bored by repetitive rehashes of old topics. The content often challenges me as I enjoy learning along with other classmates. I'm also proud of the social concerns Questors addresses. What with the due diligence on potential recipients, I know our donations are truly helping the less fortunate both here and abroad." Bill Masters
