Take a Deeper Dive into Faith
Join Pastor Erin and Jim Ulrich as they co-facilitate this adult study group in which we will examine and learn about our own motivations and internal triggers, how we build bridges with others and practice talking through tough topics. We will learn together about the causes and consequences of polarization in our communities, how Jesus guides us in loving our neighbor as ourselves.
These classes will begin in October on Thursday, October 23rd and then Tuesdays from October 28th - December 9th from 10:00 AM – Noon. In September, we will share the book we will be using to guide conversations. We look forward to being on the journey with you.

Begins Wednesday, Sept. 10th 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Oro Valley Sanctuary
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.
Meets on Wednesdays.
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.
Tuesday Mornings, January 6th - February 24th, 2026
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Oro Valley Sanctuary
“Romans 8 is arguably one of the most spectacular pieces of writing found in the New Testament…It illuminates the gospel from the promises of Abraham through the visions of Revelation.”

Embracing Trust: The Art of Letting Go and Holding on to a Forever-Faithful God
By Joanna Weaver
Starting in January 2026 we will be studying Joanna Weaver’s latest study: “Embracing Trust: The Art of Letting Go and Holding on to a Forever-Faithful God.”
In this study, Joanna shares her own journey and invites you to a deeper trust in God. Through stories, Scripture, and an exploration of the life of David, you’ll discover how to:
• cultivate a deeper, more meaningful friendship with Jesus
• let go of things that keep you from fully trusting in God
• build an unshakeable faith that stands firm in troubling times
• leave a legacy of trust that blesses future generations
If you struggle with disappointment from the past, frustration with the present, or fear of the future, Joanna invites you to relinquish control and put your trust in a forever-faithful God.
Join us for this 10-session study, which will meet every third Saturday, from 9:00 - 11:00 AM for coffee, snacks and fellowship, followed by a film and small discussion groups. Space is limited due to the small size of the discussion groups. Our first
Introductory meeting will be on January 17th, 2026. We will study the book, “Embracing Trust” by Joanna Weaver.
