Young adults

Theology Pub | Fourth Thursday

Join the “strength training” with fun and feisty conversation. Theology Pub meets at Front Street Brewery, in downtown Davenport, generally on the fourth Thursday of each month, 7:11-8:45 p.m.

Lutheran people often flex their biblical muscles by using the words “law and gospel.” It’s the art of putting your ear to the Bible and listening to “HOW” God is working in the Word.

Pastor Heather Spears takes the lead with this Lutheran basement banter. Theology Pub is for all ages. Come drink deep thoughts.

For more on Theology Pub, email:
Pastor Heather Spears,

"What we call doubt is often simply dullness of mind and spirit, not the absence of faith at all but faith latent in the lives we are not quite living, God dormant in the world to which we are not quite giving our best selves." ~Christian Wiman
