Adult Learning
We never "graduate" from learning about or exploring our relationship with God. Engaging the Bible, learning the teachings of the Church, delving deeper into our spiritual practices and learning how to meet the challenges of life through faith are constant needs. We offer a variety of opportunities to learn and grow in faith for adults. We invite you to take advantage of these so that you can become the person God calls you to be in even new ways.
Adult Learning meets most Wednesdays at 7:05 pm.

Upcoming Sessions
Jan. 11-Feb. 8: The Church is Dead. Long Live the Church
The Book of Hebrews teaches us that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8) In a world where everything changes relentlessly and with dizzying speed, this might seem to make the church a safe haven from change. Though "Christ and him crucified" is a constant, the culture around us changes the rules of engagement constantly. The church is always in a state of reform - dying and rising to the new realities of life. We will explore some of these changes in this series to see if we can get a glimpse of what is ahead. The class will meet in person and online via Zoom.
Feb. 15-March 29: Witness at the Cross (no class Feb. 22)
April 12-May 10: Bible Study

Virtual Faith Formation
“Grace Notes” blog and "Reflections from the Loft" videos are a way for the pastors, staff, and leaders of this congregation to communicate about the grace we witness and share with one another and with the world. We hope that these will be another way for us to communicate with each other as the body of Christ in this place and time. If you’d like us to talk about something in particular, drop us a note through this site. We’ll do our best!
