Church School classes are available for all ages.  Classes meet at 11:00 am following worship (unless otherwise listed) and are held from September-May.  We use a variety of curriculum materials, and all child care workers and teachers for youth and children's classes have undergone a background screening.

Adult Bible Study
Leaders: Earl Hammond and others
Location: Library, first floor

The class will will be reading and discussing Rob Bell’s book, Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived.  “Bell fights every impulse in our culture to domesticate Jesus [and] challenges the reader to be open to surprise, mystery and all of the unanswerables. . . . Bell has given theologically suspicious Christians new courage to bet their life on Jesus Christ.” (Christian Century)


Theology Class
Facilitators: Michael Thompson and others
Location: Church Lounge, first floor

The class will be reading and discussing The Future of Faith: The Rise and Fall of Belief and the Coming Age of the Spirit, by Harvey Cox.  “With typical brilliance and lively insight, Cox explores questions in a dazzling blend of memoir, church history and theological commentary . . . he challenges us to think in new ways about faith.” (Publishers Weekly )
