Adult Christian Education

Faith Formation is the life-long process of learning and living in relationship to God, our neighbors, and ourselves.

ELPC offers a variety of adult Church School classes. We encourage you to try different courses and programs to find the best fit for you in your faith walk. Through the study of scripture and the practice of prayer, we begin to understand our life experiences as they relate to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Come and join us! Your questions, insights, doubts, and concerns are welcome.

Adult Church School Classes

All classes meet during the Church School hour on Sunday, 9:45–10:45 am, September–May, unless otherwise noted. For more information on our offerings for children and youth, click here.

Journey With Scripture | Highland Meeting Room and Zoom

The Journey with Scripture class reads together various Scripture readings listed in the Revised Common Lectionary. These readings span across the entire Bible. The class members seek encouragement from God—towards the direction of steadfast love, justice, and faithfulness in their lives. Rev. Henk Bossers and other class members facilitate the class. Prior knowledge of the Scriptures is not necessary for participation. Contact Sara Hackett for Zoom information.

Seekers | Garth Overlook Room and Zoom

The Seekers wish to grow in religious understanding, insight, faith, and practice. Seekers classes create a space for spiritual and intellectual exploration, enrichment, and sharing. Together we seek a broad, inclusive dialogue, including respecting and learning about other faith traditions. All viewpoints are welcomed and encouraged at our classes. The Seekers class is facilitated by Gwen Puza. Contact Gwen Puza for Zoom information.

Soul Food | Good Samaritan Room and Zoom

Soul Food is an adult class that focuses on feeding our spirits and nurturing our awareness of God’s presence. We use a prayerful, contemplative format that includes small group discussions of spiritually nourishing texts and personal experiences. New participants are always welcome! The Soul Food class is facilitated by the Rev. Joe Hajdu and other class members. Contact the Rev. Joe Hajdu for Zoom information.
