Faith & Reason 
9 am to 9:45 am in the Large Classroom

The adult Faith & Reason class provides a Sunday morning educational opportunity to engage the evolving issues and imperatives of 21st century progressive Christianity. The format is a short video/audio presentation followed by lively class discussion. Each session is facilitated by Bill Parton and/or a volunteer from the class.

The podcasts and YouTube videos we discuss come from a variety of sources, with much of the material coming from the Center for Action and Contemplation.

Faith & Scripture
9:15 am to 10 am in the Small Classroom

Join us as we read from scripture and engage in open discussion of the meaning and significance of the readings. Have you ever paused to really consider Jesus’ sermon on the mount? Do you wonder what the significance is behind terms such as “blessed” and “poor in spirit?” These are the kinds of questions we tackle in our small group. We also discuss the religious, historical, and political contexts of the periods in which the scriptures were recorded.

Pub Theology
First Sunday of the Month
4pm at
Cagle’s Mill

The format is simple: beverages, conversation, and God. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and pull up a chair. Be ready to engage with people of varying religious traditions, philosophical perspectives, and life experiences. Find a safe place to share your own wrestlings and thoughts while learning something new along the way.

Pub Theology began as an extension of the Faith & Reason class. Meeting on Sunday afternoons once a month at Cagle’s Mill Restaurant & Bar inside the Clarion Inn in Russellville, we engage in lively theological discussions in a more relaxed and public setting.
