Our call is to look more like Jesus. 

One way to do this is to learn more about God in community with others. Please consider the following groups, classes, and events that ZPC is offering.

Adults

ZPC Home Groups are the most effective way to discuss and apply the sermon scripture, build friendships, and pray and serve together. Our groups meet for three sessions each year. [Sept 11-Nov 13; Jan 15-March 19; April 9-May 21].

Visit our online Home Group directory and request information about the groups you're interested in through the "request info" link at the top of each group listing.

THINKING BIBLICALLY | SUNDAYS | 9-10 AM | ROOM 208
This class seeks to be shaped by the Scriptures, and those who accurately reflect them, that we might live and think faithfully in a world shaped by forces alien to the Scriptures.

This class will study The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis, which addresses the relationship between gracious sovereignty and human obedience/disobedience. Class is intended for adults, high school, and middle school students. We will read aloud two chapters a week and have interactive dialogue, discussion, and fun! Books will be provided.

Men

Who are ZPCMen? It’s simple. Are you a guy that attends ZPC? Then you are a member of ZPCMen. ZPCMen take the mission of our church seriously and look for ways to be disciples who make other disciples. Some of the ways we do this are by connecting with other ZPCMen, seeking to build healthier relationships with family and friends, deepening our intimacy with God, and discovering how we can live out our unique design to the fullest.
