The class has a discussion format. Some members do lots of listening, so don’t worry if that is your preferred learning style. They are diverse in many ways and ages range from 17 to 91. There’s a place at the table for everyone who desires to grow in faith while thinking a little outside of the box. The Pilgrims meet in the Choir Room, and love to have visitors – stop by anytime!
