Sunday Forum
Every Sunday we offer opportunities for our community to gather for fellowship and formation. In addition to clergy led conversations, we also invite guests to speak on a variety of faith based topics. Join us every Sunday at 9:15 AM (between worship services from September through May) in the sanctuary to be inspired and encouraged. CLICK HERE for Teaching Resources from Sunday Forum Classes.

Wednesday Bible Study
The Wednesday Bible Study meets every Wednesday from 12:30 - 2:00 PM in the downstairs Chapel to read and discuss Holy Scripture. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who have read the entire Bible or those just beginning their Bible journey. Contact: Linda Council
Lectio Divina
Lectio Divina is a contemplative way of reading the Bible. It dates back to the early centuries of the Christian Church and was established as a monastic practice as a way of praying the scriptures that leads us deeper into God’s word. We slow down and allow scripture to speak to us in new ways. Lectio Divina meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 10:00 - 11:30 AM. Contact: Margie Arms.
Young Adults: 20s & 30s Group
Our 20s & 30s group is focused on creating fellowship opportunities and deepening relationships between our young adults. This group meets monthly, typically on the second Friday of the month. Check out the Weekly eNews to stay up to date on when the next event is. Contact Owen Copps to get involved in this ministry.
