Our pastor is also a scholar and teacher. (He works full-time at our church and is a Visiting Associate Professor at Salem State University.) He has a deep interest in theology and literary studies. He leads two Bible Studies in the spring and two in the fall – each one runs for about six weeks. Sometimes we tackle a particular book in The Bible.
The classes, which are open to members and non-members alike, are informal. We gather at 7:00 p.m.
Dr. Tamilio provides a lecture on the topic addressed, but he also encourages open discussions among participants. Our goal is to seek a sound, historical understanding of the topic being studied and to relate these learnings to our lives.
The Rev. Dr. John Tamilio III, Pastor of the Congregational Church of Canton, is offering an extended Bible study this coming academic year. The focus of the meetings will be on the core doctrines of the Christian faith: i.e., what we believe and why we believe it. Typically, we offer two sessions in the fall and two in the spring for a total of 24 sessions each year. The curriculum for this session will be written by Dr. John. Each chapter will be available the week prior.
The fall 2025 schedule will be available soon.
These meetings are on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm and will run for about an hour. We meet in our Social Room, but here is the Zoom link for those who cannot attend in person:
