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:
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.

JOIN THE SUNDAY MORNING ZOOM
The Disciples Class was established some years ago for those who seek to know more about what it means to truly be a disciple of Jesus. This fall, we invite everyone to join us in the Lippitt Room on Sunday mornings for presentations and discussions centering on "Living in the Spirit." Our studies will focus on subjects to include the "Fruit of the Spirit" (Galatians 5: 22), the Gifts of the Spirit (I Corinthians 12: 4-11), Our Call to Ministry (Matthew 25: 35 - 40), and The Way of Love (Presiding Bishop Curry's practices for a Jesus-centered life). We will also take time to explore what it means to listen to the Holy Spirit and to keep the Sabbath. The Disciples Class will also offer sessions focused on other timely subjects and seasons of the church, celebrating Advent and Lent.
