The Cure
Leader: Linda Smith
Location: The Quiet Room
The Cure gives the diagnosis of this century’s religious obsession with sin-management. It has poisoned the Church, obscuring the original Good News and sending millions away, wounded, angry and cynical, from nearly any organized expression of faith. The Cure offers an authentic experience in Christ that frees some from a self-rewarded righteousness, and others from a beaten down striving for a righteousness they can never seem to attain. The Cure infuses a relational theology of grace and identity, which alone can heal, free and create sustainable, genuine, loving, life-giving communities.
Class runs from September 22-November 24

The Bible Project: The Torah
Leader: Britt Carlson
Location: The Old Chapel (Moving to the East Room on the lower level)
“In the beginning…” Most of us who have been in church for a while know how to fill in the rest of that sentence. For four weeks we are going to walk through the first five books of the Bible—the Torah—and trace the beginning of God’s relationship with humanity and choice of Israel. Join us as the Torah comes to life via The Bible Project’s videos and get a glimpse of God’s life-changing words in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
Class runs from September 22-October 13

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.
