Adult classes and small groups present a variety of topics and
styles covering areas such as Bible study, discipleship
and Christian living, life transitions, Christian theologians
and contemporary issues. We encourage open-minded discussion,
reflection, prayer and disciplines to establish habits of
life-long learning, discernment and action as Christians
challenged to be faithful and Christ-centered in the
world.
You are welcome to join our planning meetings
on the second Monday of the month at 7 PM.
Resources for current and previous classes are here.

Sunday mornings at 10 am
Biblical Study
Living Generously How do we make faithful decisions about how much to give and how much to keep for ourselves, our families, our retirement? What does the Bible say and is this relevant today? What effect do attitudes about scarcity and generosity have on our decision-making? Meets Sundays at 10 am, April 7–May 12, in the fellowship hall.
Biblical Study
Kings and Beyond These rich books cover the years 970–586 BCE and include the stories of King Solomon, the building of the temple, the division of Israel into the Northern and Southern kingdoms, the prophet Elijah, King Ahab, King Josiah restoring God’s word to the people, and the exile of Israel. Comelearn of God’s patience and his chastening hand in the lives of his people. Bring your Bible and any additional study aids you have. Meets in room 32 on the lower level; led by Tom Brown.
Save the planet, one cup at a time: Bring a coffee mug from home to keep at church. There is a cupboard in the kitchen where you can keep it; when you are finished, just place it in the rack by the dishwasher to be washed for use the next Sunday. Save on waste, save on cost, and feel more at home while at church.
