What are the core objectives of a Learning Community?
All Learning Communities have the same core objectives: studying the Bible, developing relationships, and serving people locally and in the world.

Can I visit a Learning Community without having registered in advance?
Yes — Learning Communities are always open to visitors. If you'd like more information about a specific community, feel free to talk to the leaders. Once you decide to join a Learning Community, you can register in the classroom or online.

Can I join a Learning Community after a term has started?
Yes — the material is designed so that you can join in on any given week. A schedule of topics and suggested readings are posted online if you'd like to know what has been covered or what is coming ahead. We do encourage you to attend weekly so that you can build deeper relationships with those in your community.

Is there more to the Learning Community experience than what happens on Sundays?
Yes — each Learning Community hosts relationship-building and service opportunities throughout the year.

How can I serve my Learning Community?
We're glad you asked! Each Learning Community is led by a team of people from within the community. They receive training, support, and opportunities to use their diverse gifts. Below are listed some of the ways you can serve -- for more information, talk to your LC leaders.
