Study
Grow deeper in faith through study. See below for upcoming classes and Bible studies.
Take a Deeper Dive into Faith
A Christian Perspective on Death and Dying
Apostles' Creed Class - Deep Dive
Join Pastor Erin as we take a deep dive into the Apostles’ Creed’s history, as well as how these ancient words still matter in our modern lives.
Bible 101
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.
Book Study: The Scandal of the Kingdom
Tuesdays, January 5th - February 23, 2027
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

This winter we will be discussing “The Scandal of the Kingdom” by Dallas Willard. “In this groundbreaking book based on teachings he delivered to a church community, Willard delves into the transformative power of Jesus's parables, revealing how they show us how to live right now in the kingdom of God.”
A limited supply of books will be available in the church office. All are welcome! For more information, please contact Jeff Kraus at krausjm@gmail.com

Thriving in the Third Thirty
Facilitated by Pastor Carol, this series looked at ways to experience one's later years as an opportunity to grow spiritually and to be productive in new ways as time and focus is shifted from work and toward other passions and interests. We also looked at practical issues around health, finances, and family.
Sessions can be viewed at the link below.
Women's Faithful Living Fellowship
Would you like to meet and get to know other women in our church?
We have the perfect venue for that. Our Women’s Faithful Living Fellowship meets once a month on the third Saturday, from 9:00 - 11:00 AM for coffee, snacks, fellowship, and a film. We then break out into small groups to get to know one another, and to discuss the application of the study’s Biblical principals in our lives.
We are beginning a new study, starting on January 16, 2027 entitled:
"Handling Adversities and Prevailing With God's Grace."
We will use as the basis for our study two book and video series: "When God Doesn't Fix It," by Laura Story and "God Never Gives Up on You" by Max Lucado. Sometimes in our walk of faith, God may seem silent, distant, or unwilling to remove our hardships. These studies examine the twists and turns faced by many of the heroes of our faith, such as Abraham, Sarah, David, Paul, and Jacob, and they show how God brought them closer to him and set them on the path he wanted them to take. These studies will help us see how God enacts his perfect plan through flawed individuals, and learn to walk in his paths instead of our own.
We would love to have you join us for this 11-session study. Space is limited.
