Personal and Spiritual Growth
Adult Education & Enrichment
At First Congregational Church, we recognize that learning doesn't stop as we grow older, and we are committed to providing a variety of educational and faith development opportunities for adult learners. We offer a variety of enriching activities, including book groups, Sunday morning adult classes, Sunday morning forums, Sacred Practices and seasonal studies.
Sunday Mornings at 8:30
Our Sunday morning Adult Education classes focus on deepening our understanding of the Bible, our lives as people of faith, our Christian history and traditions and contemporary scholarship. Classes are generally led by one of our ministers or our ministry intern. Nursery care is available beginning at 8 a.m. Sunday morning classes are held in the Klar Adult Education wing on the upper level of Pilgrim Hall.
Sunday Forums at 11:30
On many Sundays after our services we have a forum with speakers (either from within our church family or invited guests) on a wide range of social, political, spiritual and educational matters. The forums vary widely in their focus.
Sacred Practices
This group meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 7 p.m. in our Sacred Space to learn new spiritual disciplines and practice them together. Disciplines explored in the past include Kundalini Yoga and various meditation techniques and practices. This sessions are led by members of the group, and newcomers are always warmly welcomed.
