Adult Learning
Join our Adult Learning Instructor Tony Amoury Alkhoury every Sunday for an hour of learning where we take a deeper dive into scripture and theology.
CURRENT COURSE
July - August, 2025
Embodied Reading of Scripture
In the next five weeks of adult learning, we will engage the Bible in a way that involves our minds, emotions, and even our bodies. Through communal practices like lectio divina (to be introduced in Week 1) and other interactive methods, we will explore Scripture not just for information, but for transformation: reading with our whole selves and in community.
