Learning & Faith Formation
Continued learning is essential to grow your relationship with God. At Bergstrasse we strive to provide for learning in person or online via ZOOM. Learning strengthens us so that we can better serve our neighbor and God with abundant love.
A few of our Learning Opportunities
Bible or Book Studies - specific books of the Bible, or books of local interest that stimulate engagement for a building a sustaining community of hope.

"This is God's Table: Finding Church beyond the Walls", creating community in non-traditional settings, by Anna Woofenden
