On-Going Adult Sunday School Classes
Fellowship of Seekers
Do you enjoy discussing faith relevant literature as a means of continuing your spiritual development? Come to Fellowship of Seekers for lively discussion as well as fellowship and sharing. The class meets each Sunday morning at 9:15 am in Room 134. All are welcome.
Changing Christianity
Changing Christianity is a class composed of Christians who are on their own faith journeys. They study the writings of modern-day theologians and Biblical scholars. Discussion centers on living a Christian life in a world of change. The usual format is shared leadership in discussion of a contemporary book by a respected scholar. Come and share your search, and help us ask real questions. Anyone interested in exploring and questioning our faith and beliefs is invited to participate. The class meets each Sunday morning at 9:00 am in room 202.
