Adult Studies

We believe that intentional faith development is best done in community. Group learning and discussion encourages and challenges us in ways that we cannot experience individually.

Pleasant Street offers Small Groups.
 We strive to be a safe place to explore, question, and grow in the love and knowledge of God and each other.

 ​Wednesday Morning and Evening Adult Study:

Adult studies are normally held between September and May, each Wednesday at 6 PM in the parlor on the second floor. Subject matter ranges from Bible study to contemporary topics to studies related to the seasons of Lent and Advent.

You're invited to join us beginning September 10, we invite you to join us on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. and in the evening (time to be announced) for a new small group Bible study.
 
We believe God is the One who creates stories, and we become God’s people as we learn God’s story and take part in it ourselves. This group will be a safe and welcoming space where you can bring your questions, doubts, and even struggles with the Bible. Together, we hope to be challenged, to wrestle with Scripture, and sometimes even to leave with a bit of holy confusion. And yet, we also trust that in time we will return to our daily lives with a deeper sense of faith and confidence.
 
Our first text will be the Book of Genesis. We encourage you to bring your own Bible—the one you are most comfortable using. As September 10 draws near, we will also announce the specific passages we will be reading together.
 
We welcome you to this journey of learning, questioning, and growing as God’s people.
 
Please call the church office at (207) 872-7564 or e-mail at [email protected] to let us know you will be attending.

Our Church Library:

If you would like to do some studying on your own (or would simply like a book to read for pleasure) we have a fine selection of books, audiobooks, magazines, and videos to loan. There are Christian classics and new releases, Bible commentaries and theology books, fiction and devotional reading, books on spiritual formation and books about justice issues, books on church history and books on the emerging church - and just about everything in-between. The library is located on the first floor, off the upper lobby.

Our library catalog is online at LibraryThing.  Click here to see if we have a book you are looking for. Then again, you might want to simply stop by the library and browse!
