Monday Night Bible Study

Our Monday night bible study meets on Zoom from 6:30 to 8:00pm. We have studied Mark, Genesis, Acts, and are currently studying John. We learn so many new things as we look at each verse in the context of the entire book. This study is led by Pastor Sally who provides a study guide and utilizes maps and pictures to supplement our reading. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover the bible in a brand-new way!

Quotes from members

“New discoveries come at me with every new chapter and verse!”

“I love being able to dive deeper into the scripture to better understand what is being said”

“ The fellowship and the thoughts from others attending is something I really enjoy”

Men’s Bible Study

On Wednesday mornings at 8:30 a.m. our pastor leads a men’s group of our church in a detailed exploration of the bible. The group meets in Room 100 and our virtual Zoom format allows for active participation by members living around the country. Content of our study usually focuses on one book of the Bible at a time but occasionally we study the scriptural text of the sermon for the upcoming Sunday worship service. Our congenial biblical learning experience lasts about an hour and builds a strong bond of fellowship and deeper appreciation in our faith.

Christian Action Team for Racial Equity

In response to the astonishing world-wide reactions to the murder of an unarmed African-American, George Floyd, session approved a policy Statement (“Loving all our Neighbors”) and established a task force - Christian Action Team for Racial Equity (CATRE).

The purpose of CATRE is to educate ourselves and the community on the racial inequities occurring in the Elkhart community and take action to address them. CATRE meets regularly to work on projects that support its mission.

We invite you to participate in CATRE’s 21 Day Challenge;  a volunteer action involving a 21 consecutive days of study of racial inequities reported in ideas, books, published articles.

Wired Word

Wired Word is a weekly adult discussion group which meets Sunday mornings at 10:15. Each lesson considers a recent current event paired with related scripture.  This class is a good way to explore Biblical ideas as they relate to us today while continuing our individual faith journeys. While exploring differing points of view through scripture you will have the bonus of developing deeper connections with members of our congregation. Join us in the Reception Room between services.

Now available via Zoom.  Contact the office for the Zoom Link.
