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 a variety of educational and spiritual formation opportunities. We strive to be a safe place to explore, question, and grow in the love and knowledge of God and each other.

Wednesday 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.

Our Lenten Study will begin on March 9 through April 13. Rev. Scott Campbell will lead this video-based retrospective of Marcus Borg's key contributions to Christian thought. Borg was an American New Testament scholar, theologian and author who had a profound influence on modern Christians.  He died in 2015 at the age of 75, leaving a rich legacy of writing and lecturing behind.  Marcus brought clarity and insight to an understanding of Jesus and Christianity that was accessible and transformative

This six-session series will review the major themes of his teaching, making use of recorded lectures interspersed with time for group discussion.  If you are already familiar with Borg, you will know him as an engaging teacher.  If you have not yet had the pleasure of learning from him, you are in for a treat.  


Please call the church office at 872-7564 if you would like to sign-up or want additional information.

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!
