For adults, we currently provide the following opportunities:
Bible Workbench – Sundays from 9:15AM – 10:15AM
This is a lectionary based Bible study that uses articles, op-eds, and contemporary resources to help us draw connections between the scripture and how we live out our faith today.
Theology Reading Group
Each month, this group gathers to share insights about a pre-selected book of theology. Recent books have been authored by Marcus Borg, William Barber, Walter Brueggemann, and Henri Nouwen.
