Our spiritual journey doesn't end in college but continues throughout our lives. We are called to remain faithful in learning and growing in our faith. None of us will ever have our faith figured out completely. We will experience times of deep connection with God and other times when we are walking in the valley of the shadow of death and through it all we will have trials that will bring out questions, doubts and times of wrestling in our faith and so we go back to the source of our knowledge about God, the scriptures, and seek a deeper understanding of who God is for our lives.

It is through Bible studies, book studies, small groups and other opportunities that we can continue to live out our calling to grow in Christian maturity. To this end we seek to have different opportunities for our adults to gather, learn and grow in their faith.

Inquirer's Class:

Do you want to know more about the Presbyterian Church? How is different from other Christian churches? Or who are we here at PCN? What programs do we offer and how can you get involved? This is the perfect class for you. It is offered every quarter and is about 3 hours long. It is usually led by Kent or Amanda and is a great way for you to ask questions about PCN, the Presbyterian Church as a whole and how you can become a member here. We hope to help you understand a short history of the Christian church and of the Presbyterian church itself along with a deeper understanding of the Lordship of Christ and what it means to be a member in Christ's church.
