School for Christian Growth Classes

Classes are free and open to all. We serve a light vegetarian dinner before the class, for which we request a $5 donation. We value the conversation and sense of community we share during the meal and clean-up and find it deepens our connection to the classes that follow. Dinner starts at 6:45 and classes begin at 7:30.

We generally offer two classes per term, which are now online. You need not be a member of Seekers Church to participate.

Matrix – An SCG Book Study (Not that Matrix!)


Matrix – A Book Study (Not that Matrix!)
Leader: Brenda Seat
Tuesdays: March 25-April 29, 2025 – In Person with simple meal at 6:30, class 7-8:30f pm

Matrix, by Lauren Groff, is a novel about the 12th century mystic and poet, Marie de France, who for political reasons was exiled to an English nunnery. It is a story of a woman coming to terms with the limited choices she was given in life, deepening her faith and empowering and leading the women of her community to become a beacon of light in a corrupt and unjust world. We will explore what it means to be resilient, faithful, cunning and ambitious in a world that does not value what women have to offer. 

Contemplative Photography


Leader: Jacqie Wallen
Tuesdays: March 25-April 29, 2025 – On Zoom, 7:00-8:30 pm

In contemplative photography, we let go of ego and see the world with a “beginner’s mind,” free of labels and preconceptions. Then we document our perceptions with photographs.  In this class, we will learn the basic principles of contemplative photography and apply them by taking photographs between classes. We’ll share our photographs with one another in class, discussing what we like about them and what we learned by taking them. No photography skills necessary: point-and-shoot or phone cameras are fine.
