Adult Faith Formation
Adult Faith Formation classes offer many opportunities for parishioners and community members to engage with scripture, spirituality, and other topics. During the Faith Formation hour on Sunday mornings September through May, there will typically be different formats to choose from. Once a month we gather all adult classes for a special time of formation together.
Our offerings have included:
- Disciple’s Class
- Faith Discussions
- Weekday Bible Studies & Small Groups
- Book Studies
- Film Discussion Groups
- Sacred Ground Racial Reconciliation Series
Contacts: The Rev. Phillip Craig, [email protected], The Rev. Gray Hodsdon, [email protected], & Frances Trask, [email protected]
Outside of Sunday School, there are several opportunities for adults to participate in small groups and times of fellowship. Some great groups for new attendees to consider. Click through some of the options to see what might be a good fit for you.
