Learning & Growth

At Christ the Servant, we believe in lifetime learning and growing in our Christian journey. We offer many opportunities for all ages and interests on Sunday morning and at other times as well.

Sunday mornings from 9:50-10:50 am we have Christian Education for all ages. Children and youth gather by age groups and adults attend the morning Adult Forum for lessons and discussion.

Book Club gathers monthly to discuss the Christian perspective of books which include novels, poetry, short stories and plays dealing with everything from theology to science. Seminar participants meet one Saturday a month for discussions of theology or philosophy readings.

Film Buffs watch a member-selected movie each month and discusses it from a Christian perspective. Because everyone has a unique perspective on what makes a good movie, selections are diverse and discussions lively.

Confirmation Education begins in 7th grade and follows a three year curriculum that includes two weekend retreats each year.
