Disciple History Class

Chalice_HighBeginning Sunday, April 27 we are offering a new adult Christian Education class following worship focusing on our Disciple History.  We will explore the Stone-Campbell movement on the frontier and who we are as Disciples today. We will be using the curriculum Leaders and Legends:  A Study of Stone-Campbell History & Beliefs written by the Disciples Historical Society. Leaders within our congregation will guide us through the study. This class is perfect for those who have recently become a part of our church community and those who have been around awhile. No matter who you are this is an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding of who we are as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
