Hebron's Discipleship Team invites you to join us for a Faith and Life Seminar, The Fire Still Burns, on May 14 & 15th. The seminar will feature Pastor Josh Brown teaching on the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit. RSVP by May 10th here. (Seating is limited.)

Our Guest Speaker for the Faith and Life Seminar: 

Josh Brown is currently the pastor of Bellefield Presbyterian Church in Oakland, having previously led or served churches in Washington (PA), Boston, and State College. He grew up at Hebron and is a graduate of Penn Hills High School, Penn State University, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Josh is a regular speaker with undergraduate and graduate student groups, has led workshops for the CCO's Jubilee Conference and the EPC's General Assembly, and has preached and taught internationally. He has served as the Moderator for the Presbytery of the Alleghenies and is currently the chair of the Leadership Team and member of the Ministerial Committee for that body. A mountain biking and reading enthusiast, Josh lives with his wife, Bethany, and his sons, Malcolm and Jameson, in Point Breeze North. 

The Topics for the Four Seminars are:

1. "Of Whom Do We Speak?" An introduction into Trinitarian theology exploring the personhood and deity of the Holy Spirit, how the Church has articulated these beliefs, and also common misunderstandings.

2. "The Spirit and the Scriptures" Beginning with the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Bible, we will consider the ways the Scriptures speak about the Spirit and trace the lines of continuity/development from Creation to New Creation.

3. "The Spirit in the Life of a Believer" After distinguishing between common grace and special grace, we will see what role the Spirit plays in bringing us to saving faith, uniting us to Jesus Christ, conforming us to his image, and sealing us for the day of redemption.

4. "The Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit" The differences between the fruit and gifts of the Spirit will be considered (along with the question of miraculous gifts), before considering how those things shape our service and vocation both in the Church and in the world.

A Grove at Hebron is a group of people who gather weekly to study God’s Word, build friendships and serve the world.

Groves are the primary place where you are known and cared for at Hebron. It is within these small communities that men and women can grow deeper as they study God’s Word, grow stronger by building friendships, and grow beyond as they serve together. It is within these groups that you practice applying the Gospel to your life. Each Grove expects to experience Jesus Christ in its midst, enabling participants to be transformed through mutual ministry and to experience life in the family of God.

Composed of six to thirty people, Groves meet in homes throughout the community and at the church. All Groves are led by members of the congregation or the pastoral staff. They all receive continued oversight and support from our pastoral staff through training opportunities and leader’s meetings. Groves generally meet weekly for Bible study, fellowship, and prayer. Groves also participate in a service project and a social event once every semester, in place of a regular meeting.
