Adult Education at Trinity

Trinity offers its members opportunities to deepen their faith through study of the scriptures in conversation with the world in which we live. We recognize that we are strengthened by our opportunities to connect with one another and build relationships based on trust in God.

Currently, there are a number of opportunities for members and neighbors to explore their faith together:

Adult Education Seminar: Our main Adult Education event, this class meets every Sunday from September through June and discusses books of the Bible, topics related to Christian life, and more. Join us Sunday mornings at 8:45am (Large Meeting Room)

Mens Bible Study: A weekly gathering for men interested in working through the study of the Bible, book by book, together. Meets every Thursday at 8:30am (Large Meeting Room)

Miriam’s Circle (Women’s group): MIriam’s Circle is a gathering for women ages 70 and up. This group prioritizes social connection, walking alongside one another, and prayer for one another. Bring your lunch and join us on the First Thursday of every month at 11:30am (Large Meeting Room)

Women’s Prayer Group: This group is primarily for women who are in the “messy middle” of life—working, raising kids, caring for aging parents. We prioritize contemplative prayer and spirituality. Join us on the second Monday of every month at 7pm (Large Meeting Room)

Pub Theology: after a brief hiatus, we are back with regular Pub Theology gatherings! What is Pub Theology? it is a distinctly open-minded space where people are encouraged to explore the intersections between what they believe about God and how that belief intersects with the world we live in. We discuss theology, politics, local news, hobbies, the environment—anything and everything is on the table! This year Pub Theology is still determining our location, but plan on joining us on the third Monday of the month at 7pm.
