Studying the Schwenkfelder Way
What is the School of Christ?
Our topic this year will be on Caspar Schwenckfeld and the Movement of Pietism
Rev. Nick Pence (Palm Schwenkfelder) and Rev. Dr. Drake Williams (Central Schwenkfelder) will be presenting
Our denomination gathers each February to discuss a topic that is related to Caspar Schwenkfeld and the Schwenkfelder perspective. All Schwenkfelder churches are encouraged to attend. Those from outside of the denomination can also attend, too.
This year our meeting is on February 7, 2026. We will meet in person and via Zoom. (See below for further details)
In his exploration of the Christian faith, Caspar Schwenckfeld said that we are always growing in the School of Christ. In other words, Christians are always continuing growing.
Dr. Jack Rothenberger (Central Schwenkfelder) initiated this idea in the 1970’s, and it has continued since then.
