Other Adult Education at FCC

For everyone…wherever you are on life’s journey.

Whether you are a college student, single, a parent of small children, or a lifelong member, we have something for you. At FCC there are numerous opportunities to get connected with other adults, whether in your same stage of life, or with shared interests.  Below are just a few of the offerings at FCC. If you would like to learn of other faith formation groups, please contact the office (719.635.3549 / Email). If you are interested in finding out about the various fellowship groups we have to offer, please contact Pastor Jacque Franklin (Email).

  • Bible Nerds

    Bible Nerds continues each week via Zoom. Contact one of the leaders below (via email or telephone) for more information. 

    Everyone is welcome to meet in the Gregg Library to “wrestle with God!” Each week, we have a lectionary-based discussion. You don’t have to be a scholar to participate (though scholars are welcome), since we are focusing on what the Scriptures say to us here and now. Our work is helping us bring a richer, fuller understanding to Sunday worship as we explore the passages for each week. Anyone can volunteer to lead the discussion—for our purposes, curiosity, open-mindedness and a sense of humor are more important than academic background. 

    Come with your knowledge, your doubts, your wisdom, your willingness to share, and your favorite translation and join us!

    Time: Every Wednesday, 9:30 am-11:00 am.

    Location: Gregg Library

    Contact: Kathy Beck (264-9105), Jeanie Tate (475-9075) or Karol Finch (266-9312) for more information.

  • Men's B & B Breakfast fellowship

    The Men's B&B Breakfast Fellowship is a long standing tradition at FCC. Beginning in 1989 under the gentle guidance of then Pastor James W. White (Pastor Emeritus), this group of men has faithfully met regularly on Thursday mornings in the Gregg Library.  It was originally dubbed as Bonding & Bran Flakes. Later some called it Bonding & Breakfast or used other more esoteric descriptors. Each week one of the men chooses the topic and leads the discussion, and another brings exquisite cuisine for breakfast. A pot of hot coffee is always available. 

    All men are invited to come on Thursday 7:00-8:30am,

    no reservation required.  Doors open at 6:30am.

9-To-Dine Groups

  • Would you like to know those who sit next to you on Sunday better?
  • Do you enjoy spending an afternoon or evening with interesting people?
  • Does sharing a meal and conversation appeal to you?
  • Would a smaller group setting encourage connections?
  • Do you want to get more involved in church life?

If any of these questions resound with you, consider joining 9-To-Dine. While there are several different groups, most diners meet once a month in each other’s homes and bring potluck dishes to share.  Each group of nine develops their own schedule and each person hosts one time.  Most groups meet February-June.  Some groups decide to continue through the summer…lots of flexibility depending on the particular group.

Please contact Pastor Jacque for more information.
