​Adult Christian Education at PMC

Fall Quarter / 2017
TEACHERS: Britt Carlson & Marcus Upton
LOCATION: The Old Chapel
​This fall, join us as we begin a new Bible study curriculum, Disciple. Over the course of 34 weeks, Disciple covers the entire Bible (Old and New Testaments), following the biblical story from creation to the new Jerusalem. With excellent historical background, thoughtful questions, and an eye to the whole arc of Scripture,  Disciple is designed to help you understand not only the context of when the biblical texts were written, but more crucially, what God might be saying to you today through Scripture’s witness. If you are new to the faith and want to understand the basic message of the Bible, or a long-time Bible study participant, Disciple will invigorate, challenge, and renew you and call you to greater discipleship. Come check out Disciple for a day, a quarter, or the entire year.

TEACHERS: David Holcomb and Rod Stafford 
LOCATION: The Church Office
Begins October 22​
​On October 22 we will begin a new adult Sunday School class: "Mennonites, Work, and Vocation: A Conversation." Each week we will share together about our experiences of work and how that work is (and is not) shaped by our identity as followers of Christ. As well, each week we will read articles on work and vocation by Mennonite scholars attempting to ground work and "calling" in an understanding of Jesus that makes sense in our global, technological society. While we hope this class sparks questions (and hopefully a few answers) for anyone, we especially welcome all of you who work in for-profit companies. Together with you, we aim to better understand this glorious but broken world and our place in it.

What is Faith Formation?

Faith Formation at Portland Mennonite Church strives to form a bridge between our Christian faith and everyday lives. Our programs are intended to invite people of all ages to grow in faith.  At PMC we are striving to be an Anabaptist community, together, with our children, by the grace of God, that is shaped by the life of Christ, that acts with the compassion of Christ, and worships in the name of Christ.
