Going Deeper: Winter Sermon and Study Series

Sunday Sermon Series: "Progressive Christianity:
Transforming Labels into Living"
Sunday Worship January 15 - February 19

If someone asked you, "What kind of Christian are you?" what would you say? As members of FCC we might use words like "inclusive", "peace and justice oriented", "spiritually centered" or "Jesus-following." When trying to describe all of those things we often use the term "progressive," but what does that really mean? Does it truly capture who we are? Does it go too far or not far enough? Labels are loaded things - and labels about faith identity are no exception. Yet they can also help us identify and embrace our values and live them out more au¬thentically. This sermon series will, explore what it might mean to call ourselves "progressive Christians." Each Sunday we will unpack a different characteristic of progressive Christianity and explore how it can transform and deepen our faith as Christians.
