Additional Learning Opportunities

Many mid-week classes, conferences, seminars and gatherings are available throughout the South Bay for people who are interested in expanding their understanding of the Christian life. Below you will find the opportunities available at Saratoga Federated Church or nearby sister churches.

Bible Study Fellowship (BSF)

BSF features a seven-year study schedule covering: Genesis, Romans, Matthew, Life of Moses, John, Israel and the Minor Prophets, and Acts of the Apostles. Classes are presented with a challenging fourfold approach including: daily questions for personal Bible study, lively discussion groups where insights from personal study are shared, interesting lectures with applications for daily living, and enriching notes distributed to class members attending the lecture each week.

BSF offers day classes for women, evening classes for men, evening classes for women, and evening classes for single young adults (ages 18–35). Various class locations exist throughout the Bay Area. The two closest to the church are:

Women's BSF:	Saratoga Federated Church, Wednesdays, 9:00–11:00am
Men's BSF:	Calvary Church in Los Gatos, Mondays, 7:00–8:45pm

BSF also offers a children's program. Day women's classes offer children's classes for preschoolers (at least two years old) whose family members attend the adult class. Evening men's and evening women's classes offer programs for children, grades 1–12, whose family members attend BSF.

Women's Fellowship

A place to build relationships, and to hear inspiring speakers address matters of the Christian life. This group also takes on projects that express the heart of the group. Fellowship circles offer the additional aspect of Bible study or discussion on matters of spiritual development. There is also an annual women's retreat that allows for a time of reflection, sharing, fellowship and learning. Luncheon meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month. Fellowship circles meet on the third Tuesday of each month.

Men's Fellowship

On one Saturday per month you can treat yourself to a delicious breakfast and a chance to hear a special speaker on any number of relevant topics addressing the needs and interests of men. These gatherings, along with an annual men's retreat, provide excellent opportunities for networking with other men, sharing a common bond of faith, and learning about living the Christian life in the context of daily living.

Singles Ministry

A community of friendship, caring and learning — not to mention fun events. Every Sunday at 10:30am singles meet in the chapel.
