Adult Learning
|
We never "graduate" from learning about or exploring our relationship with God. Engaging the Bible, learning the teachings of the Church, delving deeper into our spiritual practices and learning how to meet the challenges of life through faith are constant needs. We offer a variety of opportunities to learn and grow in faith for adults. We invite you to take advantage of these so that you can become the person God calls you to be in even new ways.
Once you've joined the Adult Learning group on Realm, you will receive on-going notifications about classes and videos. You do not need to sign up again for future adult learning classes.

Virtual Faith Formation
“Grace Notes” blog and "Reflections from the Loft" videos are a way for the pastors, staff, and leaders of this congregation to communicate about the grace we witness and share with one another and with the world.
