Study Groups

Peace Study Groups: All of us need our knowledge sharpened, blind spots in our thinking corrected, and resistance to changes in our behaviour challenged.

Join us!

Peace 101

Peace has an incredible history in Gahanna that spans 185 years! Our past is important, but so is our future. Join Pastor’s Doug and Tony as we explore Peace’s past, present, and future in a three week experience called PEACE 101!

May 15 – Learn about Peace’s current location, historical pieces from our past, and meaning of our amazing stained glass windows. Join us in the Peace Sanctuary at 7pm.
May 22 – Discussion about Peace’s mission and vision, moving into the future. Join us in the Fireside Lounge at 7pm.

​For questions or for more information about this exciting journey, please contact Pastor Doug Warburton or Pastor Tony Katko.

Couples Bible Study
Sunday, June 4th | noon-1pm

​
We are so excited to offer a NEW Bible study that couples can attend together, that also has childcare for those with younger kids. This was requested by several members through our small group survey. We are going to meet a couple times this summer, then put together a consistent meeting time in the fall.

Our first meeting will be 
Sunday, June 4th, from noon-1pm. Feel free to bring a lunch or grab a meal from our community lunch (beginning at 11:30am) and drop off kids at the nursery (with food if they don't have time to eat before). Depending on weather, we will be meeting at the shelter house or in the Fireside Lounge.

Please use the signup genius link below if you're planning on coming. If you can't attend but would like to stay on our group communications of upcoming event, please email Tony Katko (tkakto@peacegahanna.org).

We hope this opportunity will build some relationships, find support with people going through similar life journeys, and grow in our faith as we study together. *If you need childcare, please let us know the number and ages of kids so that we can plan accordingly.
Sign up Here for June 4

Civic Life and Faith Class
This 6 week study begins Monday, June 5 at 7pm.  

Join us for a study on Civic Life and Faith guided by a curriculum developed by the ELCA. Come for a lively discussion as we seek answers to How is God’s Invitation to Discipleship Lived Out in a Democracy? How Do Christians Address Controversial Civic Issues? What Are Lutheran Views on Civic Life? What are the Objectives of Democracy in the United States? What is Faith-based Living Got to Do With Civic Life? How Do We Go in Peace to Love and Serve the Lord in Civic Life?
