Who are we in Christ? While Roman Catholics and Protestants agree on much regarding their Christian heritage and theology, there are important differences in how we answer this extremely vital question. Do you have a good grasp on what they are, and could you explain them to a Catholic friend or loved one?

Join us this Saturday, September 5, for Week 2 of our six-week class, "Talking with Roman Catholics about the Gospel,” beginning at 10 AM in Fellowship Hall. You don't need to have attended previous gatherings to benefit!

Every week, Pastor Chris Castaldo helps us think through how Christians from Protestant backgrounds can better understand Roman Catholics and engage them thoughtfully in spiritual conversations.

Free and open to the public.

What do Roman Catholics believe? How do we share the good news with them both clearly and respectfully?

Join us for “Talking with Roman Catholics about the Gospel,” beginning this Saturday, August 29, at 10 AM in Fellowship Hall.

Free and open to the public.
