CGS offers a variety of ways to learn and study. Here are a few:

A)Reading and Discussion Group: meets Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. and usually studies a book together, covers various theological view points.

b) Text Study Group: Thursday mornings at 10:30 a.m. Investigates the texts for the upcoming Sunday and how they relate to our daily life.

c) Living the Questions: an intense 12-week theological study group, usually done in a gathering in people’s homes. There have been 4 groups last year, and a new one will form once there are enough people. Please let Pastor Bea know if you want to be on the waiting list.

d) Lydia Dorcas Circle: Meets the first Wednesday of the month at 12:30 pm. This is a women’s group devoted to community service and Bible study.

e) Confirmation Class: this is an intensive program offered typically to young teens to strengthen their faith. Currently there is no class in session, but will be forming as soon as need and interest become known.

f) New member orientation: scheduled from time to time with Pastor Bea

g) Fall Learning Retreat: This is a brand new plan, currently in the works.
