Introduction to Christian Theology this Fall, Sunday, October 11

The second Sunday of every month, beginning October 11th, Rev. Dr. Kaden will be teaching an Introduction to Christian Theology class in the chapel after Sunday morning worship.

This is a great opportunity to learn, grow in faith, and wrestle with the most significant parts of this ancient thing we call “Christianity.” Prepare to be challenged and inspired!
