Adult Christian Education
10:45am
Looking for a meaningful way to deepen faith, stretch your thinking, and connect with others? Join us for one (or both) of our adult education options — each week offers a great on-ramp for newcomers and a rich conversation for longtime members.
- Bonhoeffer and the Nazis (Room 3, February 8 & 15): Led by Rick Randolph, this compelling two-week class explores Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life and witness in the shadow of the Nazi Party — and invites thoughtful discussion about Christian discipleship, moral courage, and what faithful living can require in difficult times. Expect an engaging presentation and a conversation that stays with you.
- Worship Reflections (Heartland Hall — Southwest Corner, Every Sunday): A warm, low-pressure, come-as-you-are discussion guided by Adult Ed leaders who help spark conversation. We’ll reflect together on the day’s Scripture readings and sermon notes — no homework, no “right answers,” just honest conversation, listening, and encouragement. Come for one week or both — everyone is welcome!
