Welcome

 

Education and Bible Study

We invite you to open your mind and connect with what is deepest in your heart by joining us for study, conversation, reflection, and prayer.

Our classes are designed to be intellectually engaging and spiritually enriching to help you explore what you believe and grow in faith. In some classes, you may consider the implications of religious faith for daily living or learn about the Bible and the basic themes of Reformed theology. In others, you will experience Christian prayer practices or engage in discussion about a variety of compelling contemporary issues. Bring your curiosity and questions! You will not be told what to think but instead given the opportunity to process ideas with others.

Jesus and his early followers were Jewish. Nevertheless, the Church founded in the name of Christ embraced a “Christianity” that became something different from and even opposed to Judaism. When and how did this happen, and what were the consequences?

Genesis from Scratch

Genesis from Scratch

Unpublished Expired

Fourth Thursday of the month
7:00 p.m., Education Building, Room 204

The Book of Genesis has shaped so much of our Christian theology and tradition. We were taught the stories of Creation and the Flood, the journeys of Abraham and Sarah and the dreams of Joseph in our childhood Sunday school classrooms. Yet, the stories we find in Genesis are more complicated and rich than many of us have taken the time to contemplate.
