Ministries for Adults
Our Adult groups are intended for anyone out of high school. For more information, please contact Pastor Rachel at rlamparek@icfirstchurch.org
Adult Sunday School
Christianity in Time and Space – This Adult Sunday School group meets on Sunday mornings at 9:15 AM in the back of Fellowship Hall and primarily follows the Revised Common Lectionary texts for each week. We rotate leading the discussion each week so each person has the opportunity to lead if they wish.
Legends History Class: This Adult Sunday School group meets on Sunday Mornings at 9:15 AM in room 9 and Tuesdays at 3:00 PM over Zoom. We focus primarily on Christian history and connecting what we discuss to our lives in the present.
Adult Discussion Groups
Exploring Theology- This group engages in in-depth theological discussions based on a book or video series related to the Bible and contemporary social issues. We meet virtually on Zoom so that people can participate regardless of their geographical location.
When: Tuesdays, 6:30 PM
Films for Faith and Fellowship- The Films for Faith and Fellowship is for those who enjoy watching movies and sharing their insights with others. Members of the group rotate each month to host. The host(s) chooses the film, provides treats, and beverages.
When: 2nd Sunday of the month from 7 PM to 9 PM
College-aged Bible Study- We meet to discuss the scripture for each week, support one another, grow in our faith, and make sense of the world together in Christian community. We meet at 120 N Dubuque in Iowa City.
When: Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM
