Civic Life & Faith Study

A 6-week Study on Civic Life and Faith led by Pastor Denise will begin October 8, 2025 and be held on Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Trinity. 

At the 2025 Churchwide Assembly, the ELCA adopted a social statement on Faith and Civic Life. Join Pastor Denise for this 6-week study exploring this statement and what it might look like to engage in civic life as a Christian and as a Lutheran. The six sessions are:

• Session 1: “How Is God’s Invitation to Discipleship Lived Out in a Democracy?”
• Session 2: “How Do Christians Address Controversial Civic Issues?”  
• Session 3: “What Are Lutheran Views on Civic Life?”  
• Session 4: “What Are the Objectives of Democracy in the United States?  
• Session 5: “What's Faith-based Living Got to Do with Civic Life?” 
• Session 6: “How Do We Go in Peace to Love and Serve the Lord in Civic Life?”

The sessions will be a combination of videos and conversation using the participant guides. Participant guides will be provided. Please sign up or let Pastor Denise know you will attend so that we can have a participant guide ready for you.
