GROW Classes

Clear Pathways to Spiritual Growth

We are all engaged in a life-long process of spiritual growth. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, we have opportunities for you to develop at your own pace.

 

Each of our GROW classes and experiences are designed to help meet the specific needs of people at each stage of their journey.

The Practice of Solitude

Wednesdays at 6-7:40pm | Fellowship Hall (with Pastor Bill) | Begins 1/21 | Runs for 4 weeks

Distraction is one of the greatest threats to spiritual health in the modern world. We all feel it — we’re bombarded by noise like never before. Jesus has an invitation for us: Step away from it all to be alone with him, for the sake of our souls and the sake of others. This class combines Biblical Teaching, reflection with others, and spiritual practices to help participants develop new habits for being with Jesus. This class will run for 4 weeks.

Spiritual Gifts

Sundays at 8:45-9:45am | The Study (with Pastor Pierre) | Begins 2/1 | Runs for 4 weeks

What are spiritual gifts? Why do we have them and how do I know what mine are? Maybe you have wrestled with questions like these and have heard conflicting opinions about the topic of spiritual gifts. This February we will be taking four weeks to explore what the Bible has to say about spiritual gifts. Join us on Sunday mornings as we dive into this topic, and you might discover how to better use your gifts to build up the Church. This class will run for 4 weeks.

Galatians

Thursdays at 7-8:15pm | The Library (with Ryan Stewart) | Begins 2/12 | Runs for 6 weeks

What does it really mean when Christians say we are "saved by faith"? How should we understand the relationship between God's law and God's grace? And what does all that mean for our daily lives as followers of Christ? This February and March we'll be taking six weeks to consider these questions through a close reading of the book of Galatians. Our guide will be Anglican theologian NT Wright's Galatians for Everyone.
 

Stewards of Eden

Sundays at 8:45-9:45am | The Study (with Jeanne Morris and Meghan Siudzinski) | Begins 3/1 | Runs for 4 weeks

This book outlines what Scripture says about the environment and why it matters. Dr. Richter begins, “The subject matter of this book is in my opinion, one of the most misunderstood topics of holiness and social justice in the Christian community today.” In seven succinct chapters the book provides a biblical foundation for living out God’s express will for humans to steward the earth as His creation caretakers. This class will run for four weeks.

Community Bible Study (Ongoing)

Thursdays

10-11:15am | Fellowship Hall

Leaders: Joan Huntley & Marilyn Pelosi

Community Bible Study (CBS) is an interdenominational Bible study open to all, offering accessible, in-depth studies and meaningful community. This year’s study will focus on Psalms and meets Thursdays from 10–11:15AM in the Fellowship Hall, starting September 11, 2025. The September–May schedule is divided into four 6–8 week modules, so newcomers and snowbirds are welcome to join at any time—no long-term commitment required.
