SEEKERS
Seekers meets at 9:45 in room 211. Take the elevator to the second floor, turn left.
A seeker is one who tries to discover by studying, a good description of this class. Seekers is a class for couples and singles, men and women. Class members take turns leading the class as we seek God’s path through various study books and videos. We are a democratic group in that we review and vote on books to study, giving anyone who desires an opportunity to teach a session, be a part of a service experience, or just be a part of our weekly fun and laugher. We share our joys and sorrows, and we support and care about each other. We also serve our community in many ways from providing security, singing, and cooking.
We would love to have those looking for a class visit us. But beware; we will draw you in and adopt you as our own.
Seekers recently started the 6-session study Context: Putting Scripture in Its Place. This study takes verses we all know or have used and puts them back in the chapter from which they came. What was the context in which they were originally written.

KOINONIA
Koinonia meets at 9:45 in room 213. Take the elevator to the second floor, turn left, 2nd door on the right.
Koinonia is made up of people who are male and female, married and single, young and not so young. Acts 2:42 is the first time “Koinonia” is used in the Bible. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayers.” (ESV) That tells you that this is a group who believe in fellowship and service. We teach, cook, clean, tutor—to name just some of our projects. We love studying the Scriptures.
Whatever form the study takes, it always leads to lively discussion. We discuss, we question, we share, and we encourage. We want to know what God was saying to the people at the time the books of the Bible were written, and we want to know what He is saying to us today. We want to take that Word into the world and share Christ with others. We want the Holy Spirit to work through us to accomplish God’s will. We have been adopted into God’s family and we want to welcome others to be part of His family.
Koinonia has started John: as 12-Week Study, which is part of The Knowing the Bible series. This series was created to help Bible readers “better understand and apply God’s Word. The Gospel of John takes us there immediately, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John is different in many ways from the other three gospels, the synoptic gospels. John wants us to know that Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord of salvation. Join Koinonia in this study that shows us how the entire Bible is God’s revelation, how Old and New Testaments tell one great story, how Jesus offers grace to sinners and eternal life to those who accept him.

JOURNEY
Journey meets at 9:45, in room 103, the first room to the left as you enter the big doors on the south side.
Journey Class is a 50+ age group which utilizes video studies and lively discussions of Bible studies, spiritual values, and seasonal studies. The class sells donuts to support youth projects before class, so usually class starts around 9:45 am. They also prepare and serve WOW dinner on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Journey is always ready to serve and laugh!
Journey class has started the study Creed: What Christians Believe and Why. This study is by Adam Hamilton, pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City. Participants will examine the Apostles’ Creed. Why do Christians recite this creed so often, why was it penned originally, what do we mean when we say “I believe”?
