Rooted - Amy Heck, aheck@fpco.org - Sundays, March 28 – May 23
This seminar will help you get below the surface to the Roots of what you believe. Have you ever wondered what’s at the root of your faith? Why do you believe the things that you believe about God? About the world? About people? If you grew up in the church, do you ever feel like you weren’t paying attention that day in Sunday school? If you’re new to following Jesus, do you wish you could take a crash course in what Christians believe?

We believe that a basic understanding of the bible, the history and creeds of the church are incredibly important to developing a rooted, grounded, and fuller faith. We’re going to be spending 8 weeks looking at our roots: foundations of our faith that are living, breathing, and growing; yet solid, strong, and unchanging all at the same time. Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for 60 minutes or 60 years, join us. Get Rooted. 330-A EMC

Theology 201 - Rev. Donna McClellan, dmcclellan@fpco.org - October 11 – November 15
Do you have questions about God, but are afraid to ask? Everyone needs a safe place to ask questions, like, “What is the trinity? How does forgiveness work? What in the world does ‘covenant’ mean, anyway?” We have some – but not all – answers and our class will be a safe zone for questions. Come and join us for a six-week introduction to reformed theology and find out why your thoughts about God make a difference in what you believe, how you live, and who you are! - 330-A EMC
