Bible “Study” is perhaps a misnomer in our church. Our Adult Ed, or Faith4Life programs, are about:
- Sharing our individual faith journeys with one another.
- Wrestling with life’s tough questions – e.g., “If God is a loving God, why do the innocent suffer?”
- Exploring what God is calling me, as a Christian, to be and do in the world?
- Studying the Bible and other challenging writings by great people of faith.
While our emphasis is on the Bible and other Christian writings, we also explore the wisdom of other faith traditions. We provide a safe place to bring our doubts, and we challenge one another to grow.
There are many opportunities to take part in our Faith4Life programs. Sessions are usually offered both during the day and evenings. Some sessions are “drop-in,” while some require reading preparation.
Please contact the church office if you would like more information about our Faith4Life program.

Summer Reading Group with Tami: The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium
The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium” by Walter Wink
I discovered this book while working on my final project for one of my doctoral courses. In it, Walter Wink tackles some of the big questions that so many of us have been asking over the past few years as we’ve watched our nation and communities become more polarized and dysfunctional. In it, Wink invites us to re-imagine ancient religious concepts like God and Satan, angels and demons, principalities and powers, and he lifts up the way of Jesus as a faithful alternative to so much of the turmoil and darkness around us.
If you continue to shake your head at what’s going on in the world today and would like imagine a faithful way forward, please join me for a Summer Reading Group. We will meet twice during the summer to discuss the book. Books are available in the Office for a suggested donation of $11.
Meeting 1 (Introduction – Chapter 5, pp. 1-111) – Thursday, July 23 at 10:30 am or 7:00 pm
Meeting 2 (Chapter 6 – Epilogue, pp. 112-200) – Thursday, August 20 at 10:30 am or 7:00 pm
