Lifelong personal transformation in the community of faith is the goal of Religious Life and Learning at First Community Church. The Adult Learning Council provides multifaceted groups, learning experiences and resources for the individual spiritual journey. The unique Spiritual Searcher program brings innovative religious and spiritual thinkers to expand our personal and collective horizons.

 

 

Our friend and noted Jesus scholar, Marcus Borg, aptly sums up the goal of Religious Life and Learning in his book, The Heart of Christianity: "The Christian life is about a relationship with God that transforms us into more compassionate beings...It is about becoming conscious of and intentional about a deepening relationship with God." With the guidance of The Rev. David Hett, Minister of Religious Life and Learning, the Adult Learning Council and the Spiritual Searcher Committee, along with Faith and American Politics and The Peace and Justice Action Community create programs and other learning opportunities for adults to engage in lifelong religious learning and spiritual formation.
