Adult
Classes at Zion
We
offer adult classes on Sunday mornings (and sometimes in the evening
and mid-week too) so that we continue to learn and grow in our understanding
and experience of our faith. Please take advantage of one of them!
While it’s always good to be able to attend all of the class
sessions if possible, it’s also just fine to come when you
can!

Morning Classes
The
Faith, Foibles, and Flaws of Old Testament Patriarchs
June 1st to June 29th at 9:30 & 11 a.m.
The
Old Testament Patriarchs loom large throughout the book of Genesis
and Exodus, and provide us with many examples of steadfast faith,
bad judgment, and reconciliation with God. The focus of this five-week
class will be on the lives of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
and Esau, Joseph and Moses, as told in the Old Testament. We will
explore their images and importance in the New Testament as well.

Left
Behind? You? Me? Why and How?
July 13th to August 24th at 9:30 & 11 a.m.
Rapture theology is sold to millions of fundamentalist and dispensationalist
evangelicals through novels and sermons. Our goal will be to consider
the teaching of Jesus Christ versus what Christian Zionists are
teaching. How does this ideology fit into our understanding of the
second coming of Jesus? In what way has it become political and
why? With the help of several scholars, we will examine the vocabulary
and belief systems of this relatively new idea of end-times prediction,
the history and real-life consequences that impact the lives of
millions in the Middle East and throughout the world. (Location:
