Sunday Schedule

Remember that from early childhood you have been familiar with sacred writings which have power to make you wise and lead you to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:15 NET

Classes are offered at the Learning and Living Center year round from 9:45 - 10:45 am on Sunday mornings for all ages.

For children/youth: 

The children and youth are becoming disciples of Jesus by learning to Akaloo from Augsburg Fortress, based on Jesus' words, "Follow me". 

 For adults:

A study using the book, Finding the Heart's True Home by Richard J. Foster, meets 9:45 - 10:45 am on Sunday mornings during the Learning and Living Center. Participants are learning about different styles of prayer and how each form can move them inward into personal transformation, upward toward intimacy with God, and outward to minister to others.

Contemporary Bible Study, using the Nooma Series, featuring Rob Bell, meets 9:45 - 10:45 am on Sunday mornings during the Learning and Living Center. This study uses a DVD and discussion questions format to start dialogue about our spiritual directions.

 

There are various studies for adults that may be offered throughout the year.
