Join the Sojourners class as they study:
- Creed:Â What Christians believe and Why? by Rev. Adam Hamilton
January 4 – February 8, 2026
This study explores what Christians believe, why they believe, and why it matters. We will look at the Apostles’ Creed and its meaning for us today. Book: $13. 
- Why Did Jesus Have to Die? by Rev. Adam Hamilton
February 15 – March 29, 2026
Despite the crucifixion’s central place in Christian faith, the New Testament offers few clear answers about how Jesus’ death provides salvation, or why he had to die. In this study, we will look at Adam Hamilton’s perspective and discuss our own beliefs regarding his death and resurrection and how it is relevant for us today. Book: $22.

- Significant People of the Old Testament
April 5 – 26, 2026
This study explores key figures of the Old Testament – ordinary men and women through whom God worked in extraordinary ways – to reveal His faithfulness, guidance, and purpose throughout history. By learning their stories, we discover timeless lessons about trust, obedience, courage, and God’s ongoing work in our own lives today. No book and materials will be provided. 
- Prayer
May 3 – 31, 2026
This Bible Study explores how prayer unfolds throughout Scriptures – from the heartfelt cries of the Psalms to Jesus’ own teachings – revealing a God who invites honest, continual conversation with His people. By looking at the different types of prayer and connecting these biblical examples to our modern lives, the study shows how prayer can shape our decisions, deepen our peace, and anchor us in God’s presence today. No book and materials will be provided.
