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. Although we may disagree with one another, we support one another in our search. We find affirmation in our search for the truth as we strive to “live the questions now.”
There are many opportunities to take part in our Faith4Life programs. Below are some of our “standard” times during the programmatic year (generally mid-September to mid-June); other studies may run for a few weeks at other times of the week.
- Tuesdays from 10-11:30AM
- Thursdays from 10-11:30AM
- Sundays from 9:15-10:15AM
- Women’s Circle, first Wednesday of the month from 10:30AM-Noon
ALL are welcome to attend any of these sessions! The Thursday study is set up that you can “pop in” when you can. The other study times cover a reading that is done beforehand, so a little prep is required before attending.
Please contact the church office if you would like more information about our Faith4Life program.

Faith4Life — Welcome to 2025!
A few new studies have begun. On Sunday mornings at 9:15am and Thursday mornings at 10:30am, Connie will be leading a discussion of Adam Hamilton’s book The Message of Jesus. Books are available for a suggested donation of $12; as always you are welcome to join us whether you are reading the book or not. Hamilton has a video for each chapter that we will be watching.
Sunday evenings at 7pm Chip and Tami are leading a discussion of The Great Search by John Phillip Newell. Books are available for a suggested donation of $20.
Our two Disciple groups continue, with one meeting on Wednesday at 2pm and a second group meeting on Wednesday evening at 7:30pm. Connie, Lynn, and Tami are rotating leading these groups.
Abby continues to lead us in Centering Prayer every Wednesday from 7 to 7:30pm. Drop-ins are welcome!
All of these studies take place both in person and online. All meet in the library except for the Disciple classes, which meet in the board room.
All are welcome! These discussion groups are open to everyone, not just church members, so invite a friend to come with you. If you’d like to be added to the email list for zoom or get announcements, or have questions, please email Tami or Connie.
