Sunday Morning Bible Study (Virtual)

Sundays from 8:00am - 9:00am on Zoom

As adults study the Bible and discuss what they found during the week they gain a growing understanding of how to move forward on their discipleship journey. In the class, we read the Scripture and then focus on the passage.  Each week we’re challenged to prepare for the next week’s lesson.  It isn’t long or difficult, but it does encourage participation. Men and women of all ages are welcome.

If you are interested in joining our Zoom discussion, contact Larry Dacquisto at (415) 577-2115 or email:

Our adult education classes draw steady attendance from PCN members and the greater Novato community. They feature a discussion on a wide variety of topics.

PCN elder Walt Campbell will lead a “Comparative Religion” video lecture and discussion group, using a Great Courses video lecture series of twenty-four lectures on over twelve weeks. The lectures sets a framework for thinking about religions (leaders, sacred texts and spaces, and rituals). The lecturer is Dr. Charles Kimball of the University of Oklahoma. The lectures incorporate examples from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism to illustrate the elements of Dr. Kimball’s comparative framework.   The class format consists of watching two thirty minute lectures followed by up to fifteen minutes of discussion after each.  We will have weekly Saturday morning 90 minute (10:30Am to Noon) Zoom sessions beginning October 14, 2023 and finishing December 30, 2023.

Women’s Bible Study (Virtual)

Thursdays from 10:00am - 11:30am on Zoom (May - September)

Women’s Bible Study invites all women to know Jesus better and in a personal way as we study Joshua. God raises up Joshua who is a second Moses, faithful & strong, leading the Israelites.  God promises to be with them.  He promises the same to us, today. This is a group of 25 or so women of all ages who meet from September to May on Thursdays from 10 am to 11:30 am.  Come for a life-changing encounter with God’s Word. 

Here is what to expect:

  • Insight: background information that you might otherwise have missed.
  • In Depth: historical information that helps you discover the how and why of biblical incidents.
  • In Life: life-application principles, so you can more readily put the Word to work in your life.
  • In Person: personality profiles to help you see Bible characters as fully rounded individuals.

Our dedicated project for more than 40 years is Tabs for Kids – collecting pop tabs from aluminum cans from PC members, friends and neighbors.
