Classes for Adults

The Church in Corinth gave Paul all kinds of headaches. They perpetually fought with one another, lived in debauchery, abused the sacrament of communion, and argued perpetually about spiritual gifts and the role of women in the community of faith. Some things never change!

However, Paul’s responses to these conflicts and issues offer us insight and wisdom into the many challenges we face in the present day. So come along this Autumn, and let’s ponder together how Paul might help us more faithfully orient our lives to the Living God revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord

God’s people are a rebellious lot! And in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (all kings of Judah), God raised up a prophet named Isaiah to warn God’s people of their coming judgment. However, alongside those warnings, Isaiah also offers a message of hope: namely, that the Living God will fulfill God’s covenant promises—even despite the unfaithfulness of God’s people.

Come join us this Autumn, as we listen together for God’s voice in this strange, wonderful, and surprising Old Test ament book!

Sundays, Sept 27-Dec 13

Learning to be a Christ-like neighbor starts with our hearts. As Mark Labberton puts it in his book The Dangerous Act of Loving One’s Neighbor: “Human hearts form the seedbed from which in justice thrives,” and as such, addressing injustice in our world and fostering rhythms of grace and reconciliation begins with our self-examination.

Warning: This book is simple and easy to read—but it will challenge you to think and order your life differently. So, come and join others in wrestling with how to examine our hearts and faith in such a way that we begin to see the world and its people through the eyes of Jesus.

Come join other parents of similar ages and stages of life for fellowship and discussion related to the Youth and Children’s Sunday school program. This is a relaxed gathering where parents will find support, community, and connection while enjoying a cup of coffee—and maybe a few laughs, while reflecting on the Bible lessons your kids are engaging in their age-specific programs.

Who am I—And what am I doing with my life? Where do we find our identity and purpose in a transient city, polarized culture, and challenging job market? How do we live in community together as people of faith in Jesus Christ? Come and join other young adults during our discipleship hour this Autumn to support one another and discuss matters of faith, work, and life.

Drop in when you’re available and bring a friend any time!
