Take a Deeper Dive into Faith

Join Rob Hartmann during August and September for a six-week study on Apostle Paul. We will follow Adam Hamilton's book and video, "The Call," to learn about Paul's life and missionary journey. All are welcome to attend.

Meets on the following Mondays:

August 12th, 19th, 26th, September 9th, 16th, 23rd

Katie's Quarters - 6:30 to 8:00 PM

Contact Rob Hartmann if interested at rjhartmann70@msn.com

Books are available in the church office.

The dates for the next Bible 101 class are TBD.

We are a Bible church, but not all of us in this church have the same knowledge, understanding, or interpretation of the Bible.

Using the book, "Making Sense of the Bible," by Adam Hamilton, we will engage on the history of Scripture, the context of the Old and New Testaments, the authority of Scripture in our lives and various ways to interpret. Then, we will begin to discuss topics such as violence, suffering, science, sexuality, tattoos, and end times with our various understandings of scripture. In this class we seek to hear and understand one another and not defend or explain our own understandings.

The RLC Library is open to everyone. There is so much material to explore: Christian movies, book studies grounded in scripture, resource materials, devotionals and Bibles.

8 Week Book Study

10:00 AM - 11:45 AM, Luther's Lair

As followers of our Lord Jesus, each of us is called into a life of Christian maturity. Like human growth from infancy to adulthood, growing into the character of Christ progresses over time as we participate in activities designed to nurture and lead us into a deeper intimacy with God. 

This adult learning opportunity anticipates reading assignments and active discussion (facilitated by experienced leader and retired pastor Reverend Carla Williams) based on the book Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation. 

Sign up here.

Books available in the church office.

Join Pastor Erin in a six-week study in which we will engage each other in conversation, listen to one another, as we seek to understand why we think what we think, and center ourselves in who Jesus is.

Based on the book, "Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White," this will be a challenging class but one that is worth the time and investment, according to Pastor Erin. People from all perspectives are encouraged to attend, as long as they are willing to come with an open mind and heart to learn.

There are two options to attend. People are asked to commit to five of the six classes and stay within the particular format they start with. The options are:

In-person on Thursdays at 1:00-2:00 PM on August 22nd-September 26th

or Zoom Sundays at 7:00-8:00 PM on August 25th-September 29th. Please see the August Vision for the Zoom information.

Please note: This class will not be live-streamed or recorded.

Books are available in the church office.

​​Women of all ages and denominations are invited to participate in this small group ministry. Bible-related books are studied. A designated facilitator guides the group through the study. The group meets year-round on Thursday mornings at 9:00 AM.

Our group meets every third Saturday from 9-11:30 a.m. for coffee, snacks and fellowship, followed by a film and small discussion groups.  

Currently we are at full capacity in the 6-month study of "Faithful: Heroes of the Old Testament."  

We encourage you to join us for the next study to begin in January 2025.  A description and dates will be announced here and in the Vision as soon as they are available.
