This six-session course offers a beginner-friendly overview of the Old Testament, providing a big-picture framework and practical tools for reading it critically and faithfully. Together, we’ll explore the historical background, major themes, and diverse literary styles of the Old Testament, from creation to the return from exile. Whether you are new to the Bible or want to deepen your understanding, you’ll walk away with a clearer grasp of the Old Testament’s place in the larger biblical story.

Join us for a special series of Christian gentle yoga classes designed to nurture the body, mind, and spirit. Each class focuses on a key Christian quality—presence, hope, gratitude, kindness, love, peace, and joy—reminding us that even the smallest actions, like the flutter of a butterfly's wings, can have a profound and lasting impact.

Through gentle movement, breathwork, and reflection, we’ll explore how each of these qualities can shape our relationship with God and others, creating ripples of transformation in our lives and the world around us. Whether you're new to yoga or experienced, all are welcome to experience the peace and presence of God in every moment.

Disciple Divers will meet weekly on Mondays, beginning on September 8, from 10:30AM until 12:00. We will be studying The Book of Acts from the Smart Guide to the Bible series by Robert Girard and Larry Richards. It is available from Amazon. Each person is responsible for obtaining their own book. The class will last 21 weeks and we will meet in the church library. The book's goal is to deepen your faith and your Christian Fellowship. The early church was filled with Christians who had seen Jesus. They were committed to telling His story for the future generations of God's family. The Book of Acts study connects you to the people and events that shaped the church as we know it today. You will be inspired and equipped to love and serve each other as Christ intended.

This 4 week in-depth introduction to the Enneagram is perfect for folks new to the Enneagram and for folks who already have some understanding and know their type.

 The Enneagram is rooted in an ancient, dynamic system for understanding ourselves (and others). Unlike many of the more static personality typing models, the Enneagram leads us to deep self awareness, and personal transformation, helping us discover our true selves, beyond our ego and default behaviors. The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box, but helps you see the box you already inhabit (and offers ways to get out!). The nine ways of experiencing and being in the world articulated by the Enneagram, help us live beyond our knee-jerk, default reactions and behaviors, and engage the world, ourselves, and our faith with more compassion and understanding. This in-depth introduction to the Enneagram will help you understand the system, and find yourself within it. This class will help you identify your own Enneagram type, and gain a deeper understanding of your motivations and default behaviors, cultivating compassion for yourself and others. Class is available in person and on zoom.

"Who Created God?" is a weekly intergenerational small group where we address challenging questions of faith, religion, and philosophy. This fall we will be focusing on topics that are foundational to faith itself: Can we prove that God exists? Does it matter what God we believe in? What if life is meaningless? And—of course—Who created God?

In our discussions we are not looking to aggressively argue for any one perspective, but rather to present differing ideas of how theologians and philosophers have made sense of these questions. Ultimately, we want you to make informed decisions about what it is you believe. Even when engaging in topics that famously bring out polarizing opinions, our goal is to inspire everyone to think openly and critically about all facets of life—to question dogma and make sure we can honestly examine why we believe what we believe. This group is open to everyone regardless of your present beliefs or level of confidence.

This group will run for 7 weeks and will be facilitated by Noah Killeen, Jonathan Hinds and Morgan Reeves. There will be a mix of up-front presentation and discussion in smaller groups. To view the weekly topics, click the Register link below. 

Come explore each type with a 2 hour class dedicated to each of the 9 Enneagram Types. You will need a fundamental understanding of the Enneagram (so take the intro class first!). We will examine the manifestations of each type; the pitfalls, joys and nuances. Class begins with Type 1 on Oct 6, and ends on Dec 8 with Type 9. Take just the classes you want to, or take them all!
