(February - March 2026) Lenten Study Series: The Early Christian Mission

Lenten Study Series: The Early Christian Mission
Join Rev. Will Bergmann for a six-week journey into the beginnings of Christianity as we explore how the message of the Messiah spread throughout the ancient world. Through close reading of Paul's letters to the Romans and Corinthians, we'll discover how Peter, Paul, and the early church brought the Gospel to new communities and cultures.

This study invites us to wrestle with questions that remain vital today: How do we share our faith authentically? What does it mean to be the body of Christ in a diverse world? How can ancient letters speak to our modern lives?

Wednesdays, February 25 - April 1
7:00 - 8:30 PM via Zoom
