Current/Upcoming Programs

Tuesdays with Jesus

Tuesdays through Lent Beginning February 16th through March 23rd

6:30-8:00pm – Tucker/Palmer Rooms

Each year during Lent we gather with one another (in-person or on-line) on Tuesday evenings to read, listen and discuss together scripture, a theology book, or faith testimonies from the people of our congregation. It is always a rich opportunity to gather in Jesus’ name and deepen our relationship with God and with one another.

Roots and Branches

Once again our small group discussion series begins in October. If you haven’t participated yet, think about giving it a try. It’s a wonderful way to get to know new friends, deepen connections with those you already know, and think about faith in a comfortable space. This year is focused on faith in ordinary moments. We are bringing the simple thoughts of a seventeenth century monk named Brother Lawrence and a contemporary poet, Mary Oliver, to help us capture faith in everyday places in our lives. “Day by Day” (our title for this series) will help you take the ordinary parts of your life and find in them extraordinary power and grace. We have five groups this fall and a place for you. Give one of these “home groups” a try! Sign up Here

Monthly Bible Study

Last Sunday of the month, 8:45 am-9:45 am
Contact Will Burhans for more information.

Led by Reverend Will Burhans, Lead Pastor, this informal group studies and discusses a different piece of scripture each time, looking at the historical, political, and religious factors. What does ancient scripture have to tell us about ourselves and the world we live in today? We seek to discover what God desires for each individually.

Disagreeing Well Series

In the midst of this tense election season, we must work to meet “the other” as one beloved of God for whom Christ died. Loving our neighbors as ourselves takes practice and disagreeing in ways that honor the dignity of others is a skill to be learned. Toward that end consider joining us for “Disagreeing Well” in the Palmer Room on Mondays in October.…read more and signup
