Getting to Know the Third Person of the Trinity
Leader: Karen Hartmann
Location: Church Office.
Throughout the history of the Church, the Holy Spirit is often the least mentioned, somewhat mysterious person of the Trinity. But knowing more about the Holy Spirit may deepen your walk as a believer. Join us for an introductory look at what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit.
WrestleFaithia: Sharing our Faith Struggles
Leaders will include Morris Dirks, Susan Lanford, Randy Lanford, Stephen Obold-Eshleman, and Kris Voth-Rothmeier.
Location: Front of Sanctuary.
What questions of faith do you wrestle with in these turbulent times? This class will offer an opportunity to share your questions, listen to others, and explore the theological meaning of our lives and times.
A Field Guide to Christian Nonviolence
Leaders: David Wallace and Pastor Kristen
Location: Old Chapel.
As followers of Jesus, we recognize that peacemaking lies at the heart of our calling. But what does true peacemaking look like, and how should we understand it? Throughout history, Christians have interpreted nonviolence in a variety of ways. Together, we will explore these perspectives through A Field Guide to Christian Nonviolence by David Cramer and Myles Werntz. Copies are available in the church office for a suggested donation of $10.

Adult Faith Formation Resources from Past Classes
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.
