Plugged-In Class

Twice a year we offer what we call, the Plugged-In class. This class is offered for those new to the Madison church family as well as other members at Madison that would like to learn more about the various ministry opportunities available at Madison. Leaders from each ministry give a brief overview of their ministry as well as help those interested find ways to plug in. The Plugged-In class meets on Wednesday nights in the Spring and Fall.
