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.
Advent Study
Please join us at 9 am in the Fellowship Hall today for a 3-week Advent Study, Starting December 3rd through the 17th. This Bible-based study is specifically designed to help you prepare for Christmas. It will use three African-American spirituals as a springboard for learning and growth. The study will include Scriptures, music, and lyrics. Small groups will discuss each spiritual, which will help to understand their profound meaning and foster a sense of community among the participants and the African American community.
He Calls Me Friend:
The Healing Power
of Friendship in a Lonely World
As a follow-up to his landmark work One Blood, Dr. John Perkins helps readers take the next step to make justice and love a reality.
Sometimes people ask Dr. Perkins how to make a difference in the world, his simple answer is this, "Be friends. First with God. Then with others—every kind of other you can think of. Because the simple, powerful, messy, explosive truth is: the world is changed one friendship at a time." In He Calls Me Friend, Dr. Perkins argues that God is not distant and disconnected. He is the Friend who woos us, died for us, and lives within us. This Friend fills our empty places and shows us how to be friends with others. Along the way, Dr. Perkins shares his life experiences, explores biblical stories, and features profiles from several of his own personal friendships.
Join us for this study, starting in January. We will meet in small groups on Sunday morning to discuss the book and apply it to our lives.
