Adult Education

Adult Education

We believe faith is a journey, not a destination: Fellow travelers welcome.

We offer a variety of spiritual growth opportunities to choose from, including Adult Education classes, Small Groups, and separate programs and retreats for men and women, and many other fellowship opportunities.

Our hope is that these programs will spark your interest and ignite within you a deeper awareness of the spiritual issues of our time, a deeper understanding of God’s teachings in the Scriptures, and a deeper love of Jesus Christ.

Adult Sunday School

Blest be the Tie that Binds:
The Promise and Perils of a Big-Tent Faith in a Nation Divided
Sundays, 9:45 am in Schulte Hall/via Zoom
September 18th – October 9th
 
As Presbyterians, we are part of a much wider Protestant stream within American life, often called the Mainline. This tradition was once a powerhouse, which wielded vast influence across all sectors of society. But in recent years most of the headlines it has garnered have centered on its numerical decline. In this series we will revisit the Mainline’s surprising past, paying especially close attention to how this unwieldy
Protestant coalition navigated the fierce challenges of the 20th-century public square. Along the way we will also wrestle with the uncertainties of the Mainline’s present and future. What are the perils and promise of big-tent Protestantism in our deeply polarized age?
 
Led by Dr. Heath Carter, Associate Professor of American Christianity, Princeton Theological Seminary.
 

 

October – December Small Groups

At APC we believe that real spiritual transformation happens in the context of relationship — it’s how God designed us! Where better to intentionally engage in relationship and seek this transformation than in the context of a committed, regular small group who are seeking to follow Jesus together?

We would love to have you be a part of our next round of small groups! These groups will run from approximately October 2nd – December 18th (11 weeks) and will typically be meeting three weeks on and one week off.

Most of the groups will be discussing the Scripture and the sermon from the previous Sunday. If you haven’t heard the sermon for the week, you will still be able to fully participate! We encourage you to make a commitment to attend every meeting, but of course we understand that there will be times where missing a week is unavoidable.

Please note that we are aiming for 9-11 people in each small group to preserve the depth of connection and conversation, so we cannot guarantee that you will get placed in your first choice group. We will also do our best to accommodate your specific area of interest or day, but cannot guarantee that there will be a group that matches during this round of small groups. We encourage you to select any and all groups that might work for you – if we are having difficulty meeting your preferences, we will be sure to reach out and troubleshoot with you.
