Adults' Studies & Groups
Sunday Morning Bible Study: This winter we study the wisdom and traditions of the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. EVERYONE is welcome—no prior experience is necessary. Child care is available. We meet at Horace Mann Community Center just before Worship, beginning at 8:45am. Join us!
OVERTIME: A fellowship, discussion, and Bible study time after Worship each Sunday. Led by Jonathan, we hope to connect to each other and to God with a short study applicable to real life, and a time of sharing and prayer. All adults are invited and childcare will be provided.
Lenten Bible Study Contact Rev Jonathan (jonathan.tarman@gmail.com or 626-676-9082) if you're interested in participating in a study at the Church House during Lent. We are finalizing details about the schedule, so be sure to let Rev. Jonathan know when the class would be the most convenient for you. NO prior Bible study experience is required, and questions are welcome! This study focuses on becoming equipped to love God and others through your unique gifts and by becoming engaged in a ministry of service and worship.

The Vintage Tower
The Vintage Tower provides 59 units of affordable rental housing for "low and very low income" members of our community. The Church is the Sponsor for the project, having invested a large segment of its building fund to acquire the building from the City of San Jose. FCD also set up a tax credit partnership that then allowed the Vintage Tower to receive more than $2 million dollars to renovate and bring the building to full occupancy. The renovation project included window replacement on three sides to reduce heat and noise; installation of new fans, appliances, carpet; seismic improvements; exterior restoration of the art deco finishes, tile and paint; restoration of the hand painted lobby; and upgrading of elevators and other infrastructure. Our renovation even received an award of excellence for this beautiful building. Now FCD is gratified that the partners, lenders (including the City of San Jose Housing Dept.), and the management company for the Vintage Tower continue to work with us to provide high-quality, well-managed, and affordable housing for our neighbors.
