Spiritual Growth

Grow With Us

Wednesday School 2025

Wednesday School is our version of midweek spiritual growth. Think "Sunday School" but on Wednesdays! We offer various courses throughout the year ranging from 2-5 weeks. Most of our Wednesday School offering are virtual via Zoom. See what's coming up, save the date, and plug in!

Wednesday School: Practicing Hope- Through October 29

What is hope in the face of neofascism? What is hope in a time of genocide? How does Christ teach us to embody hope when our backs are against the wall?

These are the questions Practicing Hope asks. Led by Rev. Mia, with curriculum from Rev. Tabatha Holley, this study encourages communities to cultivate hope that is honest about our current conditions (refugia), hope that is restorative when everything feels urgent (rest), and hope that is possible even when we transgress (repair).

Join Rev. Mia on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, through October 29th. Zoom registration is required.
