School for Christian Growth Classes
Classes are free and open to all. We serve a light vegetarian dinner before the class, for which we request a $5 donation. We value the conversation and sense of community we share during the meal and clean-up and find it deepens our connection to the classes that follow. Dinner starts at 6:45 and classes begin at 7:30.
We generally offer two classes per term, which are now online. You need not be a member of Seekers Church to participate.

Gilead, in Lila we hear it from the beginning and from Lila’s perspective, from her hard scrabble beginnings and Doll’s love and companionship, until she reaches and decides to stay in Gilead. Tuesdays, March 20 – April 24 Classes are free and all are welcome. A light dinner will be served at 7:00 ($4 donation suggested), and the actual classes begin around 7:45 and end at 9:30. We’ll explore the meaning of Jesus’ parables in Luke and the other gospels for the 21st century using art, music, and movement to help unlock the text. We’ll look at familiar parables (including the sower and the seed, the good Samaritan, the prodigal son,) with new eyes and explore some less familiar ones (the persistent widow, the friend who came at midnight, the cost of the tower), and we’ll tackle the ones with a hard message (the dishonest steward, the vineyard workers, the big dinner party). This class counts as a New Testament class. We will explore the worship experience as living theology; our culture of commitment, mission groups & retreat; distributed leadership and how it works; the role of Stewards and the Servant Leadership Team; money as a spiritual issue, and how Seekers might support your call now. Come with your questions. Expect some reading, personal sharing and weekly written responses. Spring 2015 – Second Term
