ADULT EDUCATION
As part of our mission at Messiah we strive to be a Spirit filled and welcoming community to all people. If we are to truly live out this mission, while continually exploring our own beliefs and history we must also be able to understand our neighbors and thus seek to learn all we can about those with whom we share this world. Furthermore, as adults we also have a responsibility to educate ourselves so we are better able to educate both our own children and indeed all young people at Messiah.
Luckily, we are so fortunate to have great teachers among us and in order to give folks in the Rotterdam area a deeper understanding of people in our community, our nation and our world, for four years now we've offered quality adult education courses on Sundays during the program year at 8:45am. Courses are taught by Dr. Merle Longwood, Professor of Religion Emeritus of Siena College, and will meet on zoom until the coronavirus crisis has abated.
Our adult education program also includes monthly book clubs and a variety of community forums on pressing issues of social concern.
