ACTS II: Becoming the New Apostles
What is God up to? Told through Christ’s early followers, the Book of Acts is the story of how to find your way in a messy, complicated world. It’s our story, too, in Acts II as we navigate today’s challenges and seek to become new apostles of Jesus.
Acts II is an adult education ministry of the First Presbyterian Church of Santa Fe and designed to equip members to be faithful in the midst of these challenging times.
Our classes and study groups run Sunday mornings and throughout the week. We study scripture, practice spiritual formation, and are prompted to action in our community and our world.
Scripture and Bible Studies
To equip ourselves properly for acting in the world, it is necessary that we study and understand as best we can God’s truths revealed in scripture. Throughout the week and on some Sundays, we offer such growth opportunities. We offer Bible study in Spanish for all levels of fluency. And we have a special publication authored by Pastor harry’s father, Rev. Dr. Harry Eberts Jr. See Bible Studies.
Spiritual Formation
First Presbyterian Church believes that the church is responsible for teaching, practicing, and living our faith in witness to the teachings of Jesus, and we, as Jesus’ followers, must prepare all who enter our doors for ministry in the world. We have year-round activities to help us grow spiritually. See Spiritual Formation.
Our Church in Action
As we equip ourselves to go out into the world to be the hands and feet of Jesus, we must make ourselves aware of and knowledgeable about the critical issues of our times. Adult education classes focus on various issues such as racism, poverty, misogyny, environmental concerns, violence, and need for help in natural disasters. See the latest offerings in the eNews and on our FPC in Action blog. And sign up for Pastor Andrew‘s weekly messages on our environment: Earthkeepers 360: Weekly Reflection.
