What We Do And Why

At First Covenant Church, we believe God is continually at work transforming each of us—we are not not the same as we once were, and we are not yet who we will become. This transformation happens as we gather in Christ and engage in opportunities for spiritual formation.

We are grateful for a dedicated team of volunteers who help guide and shape our adult ministry. The Adult Christian Formation Team creates thoughtful, varied experiences to encourage you on your journey of transformation.

Sunday Mornings

Along with worship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM, we offer opportunities for formation following worship at 11:00 AM. Here are our current formation classes.

Spring Formation Classes

April 12th – May 17th

Sundays at 11:00 AM

Falling Upward

Falling Upward, Revised and Updated: A Spiritual Journey for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr is an easy-to-read guide to living a life of love in a world of suffering and challenge. Richard Rohr shows us that what looks like “falling down” can be experienced as “falling forward.” This is not necessarily about aging but more about our spiritual journey. At 196 pages, we will read two chapters a week and then come together for discussion and fellowship.

The Sermon After Party

Join Pastor Greg in the Fellowship Hall to discuss the Sunday morning sermons. In addition, we will explore the devotional readings for the week and walk through the labyrinth (as you are interested). This is a great chance to dig into God’s word and learn and grow together.

Psalms

The book of Psalms records the songs that formed almost all of a normal Israelite’s understanding of God. It is also the most quoted Old Testament book in the New Testament, yet most of us are familiar with only a few of the 150 Psalms contained in the book. Join us for a 6 week sampling of the Psalms, both “greatest hits” and “deep cuts”.

Wednesdays at 6:30 PM     Register here

Wednesday Evenings

Throughout the year, we gather on select Wednesday evenings for dinner, fellowship and formation. We hope you’ll join us for these meaningful opportunities to connect and grow together as a church family.
