Our call is to look more like Jesus.
One way to do this is to learn more about God in community with others. Please consider the following groups, classes, and events that ZPC is offering.
Adults

Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Mondays | 6:50-8:30 pm
Women of all ages around the world have the opportunity to study the Bible together, exploring the meaningful questions of life, going deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ and connecting with other women in conversations about things
that matter.
Group members spend time in personal Bible study during the week with questions that prompt deeper thought. Once a week they meet in-person or online for small group discussion. They also have access to teaching that applies the truths of scripture to daily life along with comprehensive lesson notes on the passage
they studied.
Join us on Monday evenings as we study Revelations, or find other class days and times, by going to joinbsf.com. The 2024/25 dates are September 9-May 5.

THINKING BIBLICALLY | SUNDAYS | 9:15 AM | ROOM 201
Sundays in Rome
The overall intent of this class is to be shaped by the scriptures, and those who accurately reflect them, so that we might live and think faithfully in a world shaped by forces alien to the scriptures.
This winter, join us as we spend Sundays in Rome. We will draw near to Paul’s heart and the heart of the Gospel, Romans 5:1-8:39. With thought and dialogue, sprinkled with humor, we will read of justification, the Second Adam, baptism, freedom, the “holy law,” and the work of the Holy Spirit. We'll meet Sunday mornings, January 5-April 13. Join us when you are able.
This class is for all who want to grow deeper in Christ, particularly as we give careful, dialogical thought to Jesus’ words. One need not have shared in any of our previous discussions and/or classes. All are welcome, middle school and beyond.
