On-Going Adult Sunday School Classes
Fellowship of Seekers
Do you enjoy discussing faith relevant literature as a means of continuing your spiritual development? Come to Fellowship of Seekers for lively discussion as well as fellowship and sharing. The class meets each Sunday morning at 9:15 am in Room 134.
Changing Christianity
Changing Christianity is a class composed of Christians who are actively exploring their own faith journeys. The class studies the writings of modern-day theologians and Biblical scholars. Discussion centers on living a Christian life in a world of change. The usual format is shared leadership in discussion of a contemporary book by a respected scholar. Come and share your search, and help us ask real questions. This class focuses on how Christianity has changed, is changing, will change, and how we can be a part of that change. The class meets each Sunday morning at 9:00 am in room 110.
