The Adult Education program at North Creek Church provides a unique opportunity to learn about the teachings and messages of the Bible alongside other members of our church community. Our goal is to deepen our understanding of Jesus and God's mission in the world. This ministry supports growth in Christian education, fosters connections within the community, and provides a space for meaningful conversations about faith, values, and life's important questions.
Christ Monograms
Adult Education, Sundays in December at 9am
Have fun with us as we explore the symbols of Christmas and their historical and spiritual meanings. The word “Chrismon” is a combination of the words “Christ” and “monogram”. Chrismons are religious symbols that represent many aspects of the Christian faith. We will have Rae Stephenson (BA Religion & MS in Church History and History of Christian Thought) speak on the spiritual meanings of the symbols and Jill Thomas will talk about the cultural history of them. There will be an opportunity each week to make an ornament to put on the church's Chrismon Tree in the Fellowship Hall. Coffee and treats will also be served in the Fellowship Hall.
