Greek Reading 

We have been hosting an online and in present Greek reading class meeting at the Central Schwenkfelder Church. We have read through sections of the Gospel of John, Ephesians, and Revelation. We will resume this class this winter reading through sections of Paul's Letter to the Romans.

What does it mean to be Congregational?

This class will look at the roots of congregationalism in early Christianity, its history in Europe and early American life, and then modern times. It will take place by video lecture, readings, and Zoom discussion. The class will begin in January 2026.

Four Views of the Book of Revelation
The Book of Revelation is one of the most complicated books of the New Testament.  Many approach the book feeling that they understand what it means and arrive at fantastic interpretations of it. In this one day seminar on January 24, 2006, we will present the four different views through different speakers and allow them to interact with each other.

Interpreting the New Testament for Teaching and Preaching and 1 Peter
I attended the Congregational Institute online (a missionary to Ukraine for nearly 28 years, I was "stranded" in Ohio because of the war), and found it stimulating and focusing, both intellectually and spiritually. Even in the midst of the crisis that was fiercely wearing on my emotions, or perhaps especially because of it, the chance to "come away for a while" and join a classroom full of folks with such diverse life-experience, led by a masterful teacher of deep biblical insight, was a gift—a gift of refreshed perspective on the foundations and, yes, the horizons of our life in the Conquering Savior Christ Jesus.
