Christian Education for Adults

How involved is God in our lives—and in the world? Who is this God we worship, and what does it mean to believe that God loves us and the world? (John 3:16)

In this four-week class, we’ll explore God's nature and activity through conversation and reflection on topics such as miracles, prayer (and its purpose), God’s love, and how Christians understand who God is.

This is a discussion-based class, offering space to ask questions and share perspectives as we seek together to better understand the God “in whom we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28)

Men's Retreat at Siena Retreat Center

Friday, Nov. 21 - Saturday, Nov. 22

Save the Date!

We are excited to announce that Rev. Dr. Phil Butin will be our retreat leader at this fall's Men's Retreat. Recently retired as co-pastor from First United Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Phil brings a wealth of experience and knowledge. He holds an M.Div. from Fuller Theological Seminary and a doctorate from Duke University. Throughout his career, Phil has served as a pastor, seminary professor, and president of San Francisco Theological Seminary. He is also a published author and fluent in several languages.

Phil and his wife Jan, who is also a pastor, have recently moved to our area to be closer to their son and his family.

The Siena Retreat Center in Racine, WI, is a welcoming community that hosts retreats and programs designed to renew lives and deepen holistic spirituality. Nestled in an environment of peace, joy, and beauty along the shore of Lake Michigan, the center aims to be a catalyst for a more just and compassionate world.

We begin our new program year on September 12th with the study, Context by Josh Scott. This year we'll also be studying Questions Jesus Asked by Magrey deVega, Finding Jesus in the Psalms by Barb Roose and Half Truths by Adam Hamilton. You can explore these studies on the Amplify website. If you cannot commit to a full year, you can join us for any of these studies. Each study is 5-6 weeks long. Contact Jan Ellen Shawgo through the church office for more details.

2nd & 4th Saturdays, 7:30 am to 9:30 AM ( In Person & Zoom)

Contact: David Heusinkveld through the church office. 847-362-2174

Join us on the 2nd & 4th Saturdays, 7:30 am to 9:30 AM (In Person & Zoom) for study, conversation, and prayer as we explore passages of scripture, passages of life, contemporary issues, and literature for men. Our goals are fellowship, and to learn and grow in our Christian faith. For inspiration we typically rely on a book selection and cover a chapter per session with discussion leadership rotating among members. If this sounds like something you might enjoy, we'd welcome having you join our conversation and fellowship.

Explore what Presbyterians believe, what is distinctive about our Reformed heritage, and why our church is governed the way it is. This is a wonderful way to get to know our staff better and gain a deeper understanding for our priorities and passions, our ministries and missions. If you are curious, this class is for you!

Our classes are designed for those who are seriously considering joining the church as active members, those who need a refresher course, and those who are searching and discovering God’s leading in their lives. If at the end of the inquiring process you want to become an active member, there are simply two requirements—professing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and baptism. We recognize all Christian baptisms. However, if you haven’t been baptized, a baptism date will be scheduled during a Sunday morning worship service.
