A weekly Adult Bible Study led by Pastor Peterson
Why does suffering occur in our lives and world? How do we make sense of God's love and mercy when pain and loss hit? How can our all-powerful and all-loving God allow suffering to happen? Explore these and other questions in this study. Pastor Peterson will lead a weekly in-depth Bible study. The months of June and July will focus on the book of Job. Materials will be provided at no charge. Come every Sunday or whenever you can make. The coffee will be on!
Sunday, June 8 from 8:00-8:45 a.m.
Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you’re living the way you are (I Peter 3:14-15, The Message, Eugene Peterson).
How do I talk about my faith with someone? Is there a right way and a wrong way?
We are called to witness to our faith with our whole being, including our words. Are you ready to speak up about how God makes a difference in your daily life, or a time when you experienced grace? Listen in on authentic and humble conversations as people were asked to share their stories about experiencing God, through our Summer Sunday Education Series Faith Out Loud: Talking About What Matters Most. As we hear others tell their stories of faith, we’ll reflect on our experiences too, so that we’ll be ready whenever opportunities open to share our faith with others.
Sundays, June 8- August 24 at 10:30 a.m.
Co-led by Pastor Durk Peterson and Pastor Christine Chiles

Crossways provides a clear, meaningful and helpful road map through the Scriptures.
Have you ever wondered how those Bible stories you learned as a child connect to the Big Story? Crossways is a Bible study that will lead you from Genesis to Revelations and will help you dig deep into the big picture and more deeply understand its meaning. This study stresses “grace” as the key word and our response to grace as Jesus calls us to servanthood. Crossways will help reveal Jesus as the Servant King and lead you to new insights about His mission for your life.
Tuesdays, 7:00-8:30 a.m.
