How to Read the Bible
The Bible was written for people to read. Happily, if you're reading this, you are a person! And that makes you fully qualified to read the Bible for understanding. Focusing on the gospel accounts of Jesus’s birth, this class teaches you how to carefully read the Bible in its original context and as God's timeless and infallible word about Himself.
Room 201, Led by Margaret Ann Hazelton and Elizabeth Daniel

Metamorphosis | Book Study on How to Know a Person by David Brooks
Led by a fantastic teaching team, each class will look at different aspects of  David Brooks’ book, How to Know a Person. We'd love to have you join us for great sharing and community!
Multipurpose Room, 500 Forest Avenue (Office Building!)

Practicing the Way
Being a disciple of Jesus is more than just knowing a lot about Jesus, it’s becoming more and more like him. In this class we’ll be talking about ways that we can become more like him as we engage in practices in class and at home that shape us more into his image.
Room 203, Led by Becky Bowers and Rick Hutton
