Welcome
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.
In this season of social distancing, all our classes will remain virtual. Below you can find detailed class descriptions, class resources and information on connecting via Zoom.

Even though we are continuing as a Virtual Community this fall, we are still able to come together to strengthen existing relationships in our congregation and make new and meaningful connections.
For six weeks this October and early November we will create virtual Small Groups, especially for those who are looking for a place of connection this season.
