Ventures in Faith Adult Sunday School Class

Sundays, 9:45am, Church School Building, Room 211

The Ventures in Faith Sunday School class welcomes you to drop in any Sunday, Room 211, from 9:45 to 10:45. We share casual discussion and warm fellowship as we explore the complexities of our Christian faith. 

We follow Methodist founder John Wesley’s way of learning, relying on scripture, tradition, reason, and experience as we venture together. John Wesley wanted us to consider the question (paraphrased), "how is it with your soul?"

The topics for the rest of the season are as follows:

  • 4/27 - Roll Away the Heavy Stone

  • 5/4 - Reluctance

  • 5/11 - Abide

  • 5/18 - The Way of Tea

We are an open and welcoming class, suitable for both introverts and extroverts, and we have comfortable chairs! Join us as we explore and discuss topics related to our faith journey. Contact Gordon Boice for questions.
