Foundation Gathering Groups
The Foundation for Contemporary Theology sponsors small discussion groups called Foundation Gathering Groups. These Groups meet weekly to discuss many issues of contemporary theology, including the Quest for the Historical Jesus. If you are not yet part of a Foundation Gathering Group, consider this: The early Christian church was called "The Way" and met in homes or small gatherings where people could feel safe to share their new-found faith and beliefs. We offer you this same kind of opportunity to share, doubt and question in a safe atmosphere of love and acceptance. We welcome you and any friends who want to talk about their own faith journey.

Currently, there are six Foundation Gathering Groups. If interested in visiting one, please contact the following:
