During Adult E&F we will consider how our faith relates to our work.  God has called us to work in the world. Work matters, but we have questions:

How do we know what work to do? How do we actually do it? What about our unique gifts? What about when it is hard? What about transitions?

During this class, speakers will explore these topics, with questions for group discussion and individuals and reflection.

During Adult E&F we will study the great hymns of our faith.  We will consider what they teach us, how they came to be, and why we should keep on singing them. 

Hymns: It Is Well, Rock of Ages, The King of Love My Shepherd Is, My Hope is Built on Nothing Less, Amazing Grace

Adult class is "For All the Saints." A study of ordinary men and women who made an extraordinary impact for Christ. Guest speaker Dr. Brad Littlejohn will kick-off our series with John & Charles Welsey.

Christian faith has always inspired beautiful art. Our five week course will explore good art and the Christian inspiration behind good art.

A name, not an ethical system, not a list of commandments, not a doctrinal statement, but a name: Jesus Christ, is at the center of our faith. “The most important thing about Christians is not what we do… but to whom we belong as shown by the one whose name we bear.” Because of the centrality of Jesus, believers throughout history have sought to articulate summary statements about Him: Who He is. What He has done. Who are we in relation to Him. These summary statements about Jesus Christ are the creeds and confessions of the church.

Screwtape is the title character in C.S. Lewis’ book, The Screwtape Letters. He, an older and more experienced demon, counsels the younger Wormwood through a series of 31 letters, as Wormwood attempts to keep the ‘patient’ out of the enemy’s clutches.

In this scenario, God is the enemy. You and I are the patient, so all the good advice from Screwtape is bad advice for us.

You are familiar with the advice: “Avoid the subjects of religion and politics in polite conversation.” Either subject, on its own, is potentially inflammatory. If you were foolish enough to combine both subjects in one conversation, the result would not be potential inflammation, but guaranteed combustion.

We will look at what the bible says about the role of the state. We will consider why the state is a hard subject for clear thinking for even the most thoughtful Christian. Finally, we’ll consider the state of the state. text goes here

The Bible says a lot about money. The Bible tells us that money is good. It provides security (Proverbs 10:15). It is accrued through wisdom (14:24) and is often the reward of a righteous life (15:6). But, according to the bible, money is not an unqualified good. It is dangerous. Wealth is sneaky and can give us a false security (Luke 12:15). The love of it can lead us to all sorts of evil (1 Tim. 6:10).
