Christian faith is a lifelong journey. God’s not done with you yet.
First United’s Adult Education program offers insight, growth, and fellowship with classes, workshops, intimate discussions, and presentations and lectures by leading scholars. Topics range from church history to current events to race relations to international issues, and always include a biblical perspective. Sometimes a series of classes is scheduled on specific topics that lend themselves to in-depth study. Adult ed is a ministry that drives learning, deepens faith, and wrestles with the relationship between God’s world and the human world.
Sunday Morning Speaker Series
Classes meet at 9:45 a.m. on Sundays from September through late May. Bring your whole self, including your questions, your doubts, and a sense of humor. For more information on any adult education programs, contact Lydia Mulkey, Associate Pastor of Education ([email protected]), 708-386-5215 (ext. 103).
Evangelical Christianity and Politics: Jan. 16 and 23
Evangelical Christianity’s alignment with right-wing politics: How does this impact mainline Protestantism, and what are the implications, if any? This Zoom class by Dr. Rhys Williams, professor and chair of the Dept. of Sociology at Loyola University, has been rescheduled for Jan. 16 and 23. His research has focused on the intersection of politics, religion, and social movements in American culture. He also has studied the involvement of religious groups in urban politics, as well as the ways in which urban settings affect religion and its public roles.
