Christian Education at First Church: It’s For Life!
Academy classes are Sunday morning short-term classes for adults. These September – May gatherings explore a wide variety of faith issues and interests. Most of them last six weeks and lend themselves to drop-in attendance. Most Academy classes are discussion based with plenty of lively, open minded, good humored conversation. Our exceptional leaders and facilitators come from the congregation and from the community at large. We strive to have a large variety of topics during the program year.
Fall Academy Class: September 14 - October 19th
Rev. John Boley and others of our retired clergy are facilitating an Adult Academy Class after worship in the parlor entitled “A Potluck of Hot Potatoes.” All of these Hot Potatoes present different understandings of God and the work of Christ and the Holy Spirit, including: Biblical Fundamentalism, Calvinism and Determinism, Atonement Theories, Prosperity Theology, Process Theology, and Christian Triumphalism. Lively discussion is anticipated.
