Are you ready to take the next step in your walk with Christ? Join Pastor Allison to go deeper in faith during our current worship series. This learning community is perfect if you don’t have a small group or regular Sunday school class yet. Together, we’ll explore what it means to follow Jesus and grow alongside other travelers on the journey of faith.

Whether you’re just getting started, feeling spiritually stuck, or seeking renewed direction, this class will help guide you into the life of a disciple - learning to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did. Come discover practical ways to live out your faith and walk more closely with Christ. This class will also be LiveStreamed for those that can't be in-person to experience the same teaching.

An Ethical/Theological Examination of Artificial Intelligence feat. Dr. Robert Hunt
Professor at Perkins School of Theology & author of All Brain and No Soul?: Real Humanity in an AI Age

Join us for a thought-provoking evening with Dr. Robert Hunt as we explore the intersection of faith, ethics, and emerging technologies. In a time when Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we live, work, and think, what does it mean to be truly human? How do we as people of faith respond to the promises and perils of AI?

Dr. Hunt brings theological depth and ethical insight to this timely conversation, drawing from his new book All Brain and No Soul? and his extensive work in global theology and interfaith dialogue. Whether you're tech-savvy or tech-wary, this is a conversation for all who want to faithfully navigate the future.

Come ready to think deeply, ask questions, and engage with one of the most pressing topics of our time.

Women are invited to join our Tuesday Women’s Study as we journey through the Gospel of John, a Gospel rich with imagery, depth, and promise. John’s Gospel offers readers a new language of being born anew, living water, wind and Spirit, and the powerful “I am” which deepen how we understand God, experience the world, and participate in the mystery of faith.

With her characteristic wit and insight, Amy-Jill Levine guides us through the Gospel in its original context while exploring how it speaks to readers today. This study will walk through the Gospel of John in its entirety, engaging stories such as the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well, the healing of the man born blind, foot washing, Mary Magdalene and Doubting Thomas, and the proclamation of Jesus as the Lamb of God.

Participants are invited to purchase the study book from their preferred book retailer. Come grow in faith, deepen your understanding of scripture, and share life together in community.

This February, give your loved ones the priceless gift of your story. Join us for a warm, engaging, and inspiring journey based on The Legacy Story Course by Ron Ross. Each session features uplifting video guidance to help you reflect, write, and beautifully organize the memories, lessons, and moments that shaped your life or encourage family members to capture theirs. Create something your children and grandchildren will cherish for generations.

Saving Grace is a six-week learning community designed to help people of faith develop a healthy, faithful relationship with money and possessions. Grounded in Scripture and Wesleyan theology, this course offers practical tools and spiritual wisdom for managing the resources God has entrusted to us.

Participants will journey through six sessions covering key topics such as earning, saving, spending, giving, and debt, along with helpful strategies for building a sustainable and faithful financial life. This learning community is facilitated by Justin Duncan and Scott Smith, who will guide participants with care, encouragement, and practical insight.

Cost: $20 per person or couple (Includes a participant workbook)

Important Note: There will be a small amount of advance work prior to the first session, including gathering information about income, expenses, and debts. High confidentiality is a core value of this course, and facilitators are committed to creating a safe, supportive environment as we explore a biblical and Wesleyan approach to money management together.

If you’re seeking clarity, freedom, and faithfulness in your financial life, Saving Grace offers a grace-filled place to begin.

This Lent, you’re invited to join The Practice Series, a Learning Community designed to help you explore spiritual practices that draw us deeper into the life of God. Each week features an online teaching session followed by a 4-day asynchronous reading plan and practice, giving you space to experience the practice in your own daily rhythm.

Spiritual practices help shape us as disciples. They open us to God’s divine grace, offer new and ancient rhythms, and give us ways to be fully present with God in the midst of everyday life. Whether you’re discovering these practices for the first time or rediscovering them in a new season, you may choose to participate in one practice or all of them. Each session is designed to equip you with enough understanding to simply try it - to take a small but meaningful step deeper into the way of Jesus.

This series continues the journey we began in our January worship series, Practicing the Way, and the Learning Community offered alongside it.

All teaching sessions will take place on Mondays from 7–8 pm via Zoom.

Join Dr. Dan Flanagan for a three-week Learning Community exploring God’s persistent grace throughout Scripture from Genesis through the Gospels. The Bible tells an honest story of human resistance and broken relationship, but an even greater story of a God who continually chooses grace and reconciliation. This study invites us to look beyond the cross as the beginning of grace and discover how God’s covenant love has always been at work—before the cross, at the cross, and beyond.

Together, we’ll reflect on God’s unwavering love, our own patterns of resistance, and what it means to live shaped by grace rather than fear.

Join us for a transformative one-day learning community designed to help you navigate the complexities of working relationships through the lens of the Enneagram. Internationally recognized Enneagram master teacher Suzanne Stabile joins Joey Schewee—consultant, author, and speaker—for When Working Together Doesn’t Work, a holistic and empowering experience exploring what happens when our best intentions collide with others’ different motivations and behaviors.

Through real-world stories, engaging teaching, and Enneagram insights, Joey and Suzanne will help participants:
​Foster behavioral consciousness by understanding motivational differences
Develop greater self-awareness and empathy in workplace relationships
Apply the Enneagram as a dynamic tool for communication and collaboration
Gain practical strategies through concepts like processing centers, reference points, and focus shifts

Drawing on more than fifteen years of consulting with thousands of employees and hundreds of teams, Joey offers practical wisdom for immediate application—whether you’re a leader, coworker, or part of any collaborative environment. Joey’s new book will be available as an add-on at registration or for purchase the day of the event.
