Education & Faith Formation
Table Talks - Around a big wooden table in Wittenberg, Germany, Martin Luther and his friends would gather for lively discussions about faith in everyday life. We do the same at “Table Talks,” our monthly Adult Ed gathering that takes place on the 4th Sunday of the month.
Bible Study - All are welcome to gather for our weekly Bible Study on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 am (currently on Zoom), where we gather to explore the texts for the upcoming Sunday.
