Paul, in Ephesians 4, encourages us to "reach unity in the faith," "become mature," and experience "the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." The Adult Education program seeks to help people pursue these goals through a variety of classes offered on Sundays and throughout the week. In this way people are supported and directed in their lifelong quest "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Connections
Location: Geneva 240
Our goal is to build a caring community of adults, both couples and singles. Our studies are led by class members, and this year we are continuing to “Celebrate Our Roots” by looking at Old Testament themes, as well as adding a focus on the current stage of our life and ministry, “Stretching for Significance.” We have monthly social activities and/or local mission outreach. We are delighted to have couples or singles come for selected class sessions that are of interest.

Thinking Chrisitanly About Evolution
This four week class starts February 17
Location: Westminster Hall
Based on Dr. Michel Behe's new book The Edge of Evolution. We will look at the three parts of Darwin's theory, two of which are well supported by facts and one is not. Dr Behe, a professor of microbiology, looks at what Darwinism explains and what it does not. This has the potential of closing the divide in the ongoing origins controversy. It should also provide a basis for considering God’s providential action in the world. No science background required.

The Walk

This is a group of post-graduate, young professionals, and graduate students. We meet for discussion groups on the Christian faith and the world in which we live. We also have fellowship activities outside of class.
