The Mosaic Class is a group of 20 and 30 somethings who come from various walks of life as we share the journey of spiritual growth together. We are a combination of singles and couples, with and without kids. Our diverse stages in life add to the richness of our conversations as we seek to welcome all who hope to grow in their faith alongside others. We are truly a “mosaic” of younger adults doing our best to be disciples of the God known in Jesus Christ whose boundary-breaking love shapes our lives.  

Open Study is a lively discussion group, progressive as it explores faith and contemporary issues in a search for ways to deepen spiritual faith and values for living in a modern, changing world. This open group welcomes a wide range of challenging views, values exchanging opinions, and seeks to help the Bible come alive for daily living. Outreach and missions are very important to the class.   Part of the way Open Study serves is through a program called Everything Must Change.  A main project is a summer intership program working with youth in North Nashville providing them with job training and leadership development.  

Open Study is a multi generational, young and old, new members and old timers, singles and couples engaged in living our faith and constructing our path of faith. Come one Sunday, come every Sunday. All are welcome.

Every Tuesday during lunch people gather to discuss the Scripture passage for Sunday over a bring-your-own brown bag lunch with the pastor who will be preaching on Sunday (usually Rev. Carol Cavin-Dillon).

Sacred Journeys is made up of people of diverse ages, interests, backgrounds, and lifestyles who want to deepen their spiritual life. While we occasionally will do a study, usually we gather in a circle to engage in spiritual practices that enrich our inner life. We sing meditative and praise songs, including those from Taize and The Faith We Sing. We sit quietly while led in a guided meditation focusing on breathing and often also on a passage of scripture. We listen in silence for the voice of God. And we share what is on our hearts. We close with a prayer circle in which we lift up the concerns of ourselves and others to God in prayer. We welcome all to this circle!

Saints and Sinners invites speakers, from within the Church and without, to address a diverse range of topics. From Bible studies to moral or ethical issues, ancient cultures to current events, Saints and Sinners explores a multitude of subjects throughout the year. Membership consists of midlife adult couples and singles. We celebrate each other’s joys and share each other’s concerns.

The Sine Nomine Class is scheduled to accommodate singers in the Chancel Choir, but is open to all.  “Sine Nomine” is latin for “without a name” (we’re a little bit cheeky) and is also the name of the tune for the hymn “For All the Saints” (and “All” means ALL!). We meet from 9:40 – 10:20 am in Room LL5 on the Lower Level. The class is led by a variety of leaders on a wide range of topics.

Based on the choir schedule, our meeting schedule is modified. We will meet from Sept. 10 – Nov. 19, 2017 and from Jan. 7 – Mar. 18, 2018.

Covenant Discipleship is a contemporary small-group adaptation of the original Methodist class meetings developed by John and Charles Wesley, the sole purpose for which is mutual support for living as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Groups (of up to seven persons) meet weekly for one hour. These groups promote a balance between works of piety and works of mercy, the balance necessary for a healthy (i.e., functional) Christian life in both private and public expression.
