When a man asks Jesus about the way to attain eternal life, Jesus turns the question back to him. The man answers, quoting the scriptures, to love God and love your neighbor. “You have given the right answer,” says Jesus, “Do this, and you will live" (Luke 10:28). We at APC seek to follow Jesus' command to "do this" by ministering in creative ways to neighbors struggling with life’s most basic needs: food, housing, and health. Join us for a seven week adult education course to learn about some of our missions and ministries that serve these neighbors. We will meet Sundays 9:45-10:45 am in Schulte Hall, beginning January 4 with a biblical-theological overview by our pastors, followed each week with opportunities to learn about our APC food pantry, HomeFront, and the immigrant ministries of Interfaith-Rise.
