Adults

Christian faith is shaped and matures, in part, through sustained reflection on matters of spiritual, theological, and biblical concern. Drawing upon the best of Christian tradition, ancient and modern, we pursue God’s call to justice and mercy. At Old South Church, we are formed by God to transform the world.

Join us on the journey of discipleship. Share with us in sacred reading, gentle listening, and holy conversation.

Sunday Morning Yoga, every Sunday at 10am in the Club Room at Old South

We look forward to welcoming you. Questions? Email amyecoe@gmail.com

Monday Night Book Group, Mondays at 7pm, at Old South

God’s Big Book of Faith, Wednesdays at 7pm, online

• Ever wonder about Leviticus, or Habakkuk, or Philemon, or Micah? God’s Big Book of Faith will take a look at every book in the Bible over the next couple of years. We will look at the author and purpose of each book and study a major passage, marking the source of the major doctrines of our faith as we go.

Through the Bible: A Fun-and-Not-Scary, At-A-Snail’s-Pace Study, Thursdays at 7pm, online
