Foundations of Scripture: Studying Sacred Texts in Community

This class is not meeting in December and will resume in January 2025. 


Education Building Room 302/303

Facilitators: Steve Benz and Rev. Cindy Benz


Join this new, ongoing Sunday School class that is focused on scripture and community building. 


During September and into October, the class will spend time getting to know each other and will explore together some of the most beloved and intriguing scripture passages in the Old and New Testament such as Micah 6: 1-8 and John 16:12.


Steve Benz will facilitate a discussion around these passages by exploring the context in which they were written. The three most important things to remember when reading scripture are context, context and context. The class will explore the context in which the narrative took place, the context in which the words were incorporated into the canon, and how it speaks to us in our own context.


The class will decide together what Biblical study will follow the series on context, context, context.

Education Building,Thompson Parlor


Join this three-week class facilitated by Randy Parks and Bud Para and explore the promises of Advent through Kate Bowler's writings.


“It’s a promise that is coming, as surely and steadily as light traveling from a distant star. It is the promise of a return—a restoration of all things to their true being, a goodness which was conceived from the beginning of time, a  realized hope we’ve been longing for.”

College Students

Our ministry with college students of our church focuses on a few things. 

  • Going to Montreat College Conference in January
