Adult Ministries

The study for this fall includes Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, and Matthew. This class meets in the 50/50 classroom.

 

The Becomers class was organized in 1981 by the Rev. Kent Kilbourne, who was its first teacher and leader. The class considers itself contemporary Christian and studies current topics in relation to Christianity. The group is beginning a series on forgiveness. 

 

The Friends in Faith class is a small group of middle-aged married couples and single adults. They are now studying Christianity and World Religions: Wrestling with Questions People Ask. This video-based study explores four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism, with author and presenter Adam Hamilton.
