    Sundays
    11:30 am – 12:30 pm

    Ever wondered “what’s up with that?” when it comes to Presbyterian life, worship, or beliefs? This four-week class is a chance to ask those questions out loud—and explore the answers together.

    Whether you’ve been Presbyterian your whole life or are simply curious, you’re warmly invited. Dr. Ken Ledford and Rev. Jessie MacMillan will guide the conversation each week, bringing history, theology, and a bit of humor along the way.

    May 10 – History
    Who came up with this Presbyterian stuff? How did we get here—and did Presbyterians really help found a country in Africa?

    May 17 – Theology
    What is theology, anyway? Is there such a thing as Presbyterian theology? And what do we mean by sacraments?

    May 24 – Worship
    What “counts” as worship? Do we have to listen to a sermon every week? Why does accessibility matter—and why do Presbyterian spaces look the way they do?

    May 31 – Church Governance
    What’s the Session? What are the “rules” of being Presbyterian? What does it mean to belong to a denomination?

    Along the way, we’ll reflect together: What feels meaningful and true? What questions still linger? And where might God be calling us next?

    Come for one week or all four—your questions are welcome here.

    Each week our Stirring Up Hope soup ministry volunteers share 20 gallons of soup, or roughly 150 servings, with neighbors, students, and visitors who walk past our church. A partnership with Old Stone Church and Edwin's Leadership and Restaurant Institute, this ministry is funded through next fall so many more volunteers are needed.
