We believe that authentic growth in the Christian faith happens in a community where we gather to study and learn what it means to live as disciples of Christ. Classes and studies vary in length from 4 to 34 weeks, depending on the specific study. Looking for a Sunday School class? We have a number of classes ranging in age, marital status, and discussion topics.

  • Living the Beatitudes: Is It Realistic?

    Tuesdays, beginning September 8, 6:30-8 p.m.

    The Beatitudes make a claim on our lives that we cannot easily ignore.

    What does it mean to be blessed as peacemakers in a world with 65-armed conflicts, including 13 wars? What does it mean to be blessed as poor in a world where roughly 800 million people live in extreme poverty and 35.9 million people in the United States live below the official poverty line? What does it mean to be blessed as pure in heart in a divided culture where Christians often suspect, label, and condemn one another?

    Led by our Pastor of Adult Education Dr. Domenic Nigrelli, participants will be invited into a thoughtful, prayerful conversation in which the words of Jesus become a living encounter with the reconciling power of God. 

    This is a four-week study beginning Tuesday, September 8, through Tuesday, October 6.
