Come join the Saturday AM women’s study for another enriching, hope-filled, God-centered study! This winter and spring, June Johnson will lead a 20-week study of the book of Isaiah. The gospel is the central message of Isaiah — that God saves sinners — and it is impossible to overstate this, our need for a Savior! The Old Testament prophet Isaiah describes the coming of Christ in great detail. His vision is epic, opening with an invitation for all heaven and earth to listen, and calling for the complete and merciful restoration of God’s people.

So often our most pressing questions about faith and the Bible go unanswered and even unasked. But what if the quest for deeper faith starts with asking tough questions that ultimately lead to the honest, unchanging truths of the Gospel? What if we crowd-sourced our questions about Christianity and offered a set of evening talks to explore how the Bible engages with those questions?
Join us this fall on Wednesday nights from Sep 11 - Oct 9, at 7 p.m. for a series of public forums led by Rev. Dr. John Frederick as we consider our most pressing crowd-sourced questions about the Christian faith! Do you have a pressing question about the Christian faith or the Bible?

Packer, a leading Anglican scholar, priest, and founding member of The Anglican Church in North America, explains the history, theology, and current state of the Anglican Church.
For many, the doctrines of the faith are ideas meant to be memorized and recited. But memorization on its own is rarely memorable. Discipling our families into a living faith is only possible if we live out the faith together. How can we help our kids to cultivate this kind of living faith that connects the head and the heart? A faith that is not boring or dry, but engaging, life-giving, and even adventurous. How do we get from a memorized faith to a memorable faith? Join us as we explore answers to these questions together.
ADVANCE REGISTRATION REQUIRED - register by MARCH 6. (SPACE IS LIMITED!)

Can we trust the Bible? Even the hard passages? Are old Creeds still relevant? How about Anglicanism? How does this denomination fit alongside others? And what about spiritual practices, or the Bible’s rules for living, or our call to serve others—how do all these fit together today? How does the Good News that Jesus died for my sins work itself out in my complex life in a complex world? These questions invite us back to the basics—the foundational truths of Christianity, and how these truths reshape every aspect of our lives.
Join TFCA Pastor of Discipleship, Rev. Dr. John Frederick, along with guest speakers, as we dive into these questions and more this fall. No prior reading is required and each class stands alone, so join us any time.
